Hotel prices in Zanzibar, month by month

A typical hotel night in Zanzibar costs about €108 in April and €135 in August. That is a 25% gap, and the biggest lever on what you pay: the same kind of room simply costs more when demand peaks. May and November come close to the low point, a good fallback if April does not suit you.

These figures come from 48 hotels in Zanzibar whose prices we check on Agoda on a rolling basis. Across the whole year the typical night averages €121.
