Pet-friendly stays · Marumbi (East Coast)
A family-owned five-star eco-resort of 40 villas spread through 60,000 sq m of forest and spice garden, fronting a private 500 m bay just north of Marumbi on the east coast. Four restaurants, a spa and an over-water gym sit behind the beach.
One of the very few Zanzibar resorts that publishes an actual pet policy, complete with a dedicated pet area and the Tanzanian import and rabies rules.
The resort's own pet page accepts up to two pets of 8 kg or less in selected room categories at USD 35 per night, keeps them leashed anywhere on the property and bars them from restaurants, pool and wellness areas. It also spells out the paperwork: an import permit from the Ministry of Water, Livestock and Veterinary Services plus health and vaccination certificates, with rabies given at least one month and no more than three years before entry to Tanzania. Large dogs are not accepted, and the room category has to be confirmed with reservations.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.

By day it is palms, benches, paving and harbour views; after sunset the lawns become the island's best-known street-food market.
