Rooftops at Z Hotel

Rooftops at Z Hotel is an acclaimed rooftop bar perched atop The Z Hotel in Nungwi, Zanzibar, Tanzania, widely celebrated as one of the best spots on the island to watch the sunset. Guests are treated to panoramic views of azure Indian Ocean waters, traditional dhow sailboats drifting by, and dramatic red-pink skies as evening falls. The bar is exclusively for adults and serves signature cocktails — most notably the passion dawa, described as Zanzibar in a glass — alongside food selections from the hotel's Cinnamon restaurant menu. The relaxed, comfortable seating arrangement invites guests to unwind and soak in the scenery, while a resident DJ entertains on Wednesday and Saturday evenings from 5 to 8 PM with sunset music. Operating daily from 5 PM to 11 PM, Rooftops at Z Hotel offers a breezy, unhurried atmosphere that perfectly captures the spirit of the Zanzibar coastline.
