Island Spice.(Zanzibar island, Tanzania)(Brief article)
Byline: Ginanne Brownell and Silvia Spring
Known as spice island, Zanzibar is a beguiling mix of Arabic, African and Indian cultures. From the frenzied maze of Stone Town's tiny streets to the breezy beaches and isolated coral reefs, this paradise off the coast of Tanzania draws everyone from honeymooners to harried business execs looking for a chance to chill. Stone Town is the best place to start. Stay at the seafront Serena Inn , where rooms overlook the Indian Ocean and the interior celebrates the island's Persian and European influences (from $285 per person; serena hotels.com ). Set aside an afternoon to get lost in the city's labyrinth of whitewashed houses, bazaars and courtyards. Dine on fresh prawns at Mercury's , named after Queen's Freddie Mercury, born just around the corner.
