This idyllic exclusive island is 2km off the shore of main land Tanzania opposite the historical town of Bagamoyo, north of Dar es Salaam.
The coral reef surrounding the island offers a great
opportunity for snorkelling off the beach.
Being an island, Lazy Lagoon is quite unique with sea swimming possible at all tides.
Accommodation is in 12 large airy natural makuti beach bandas
only yards from the Indian Ocean. From the sundowner lounge above the bar, visitors can watch the sunrise over Zanzibar
and set over the palm trees of Bagamoyo and feel the Swahili
atmosphere as they follow the flotilla of hundreds of local
fishing boats tack around the island to get from their villages on the mainland to their fishing grounds.
