The secluded three-and-a-half-pearl Next Paradise Boutique Resort offers only 16 simple rooms plus a restaurant and breathtaking beach. However, it manages to feel far more refined. The hotel's low-key profile combined with thoughtful details like beachside candlelight dinners, free decadent breakfast, and free bicycles makes this boutique property special -- and explains why honeymooners flock here. Rooms are outfitted with handsome carved wood furniture plus flat-screen TVs and air-conditioning, and everything from tennis to diving classes to pools are on-site. Unfortunately, super-low tides make it impossible to swim in the sea for much of the day. Those hoping to splash in the ocean more regularly should check out the hotels in Zanzibar's north, like the similarly priced DoubleTree Resort by Hilton.
