About

Nakupenda Bis (a private sandbank) — Nakupenda is a romantic word that means "I love you" in Swahili. This is a newer and quieter extension of the famous Nakupenda sandbank, located off the coast of Zanzibar, far from Stone Town — almost an hour by boat, which is why there are fewer people there. 🌊 An even more exclusive spot Less crowded than the main sandbank, Nakupenda Bis offers a more intimate and preserved atmosphere. It appears and disappears with the tides. The sand is just as white and fine, surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters, but the atmosphere is often calmer — ideal for those seeking tranquility. 🐠 On-site experience Excursions to Nakupenda Bis generally include: • Traditional boat crossing from Stone Town • Swimming at a beautiful beach • Snorkeling around Bawe Island — it's incredible there • Seafood lunch or picnic on the sand (BBQ) with exotic fruits: mango, passion fruit, avocado, pineapple 🍌🥑🥭🍉 🌅 Atmosphere The landscape remains spectacular: an isolated stretch of white sand in the middle of the Indian Ocean, with a 360° panoramic view of the water. The absence of permanent infrastructure reinforces the feeling of being on an ephemeral and private island. Nakupenda Bis is therefore a more peaceful alternative to the main sandbank, perfect for visitors wanting to enjoy a tranquil and unforgettable moment. It's also the most beautiful place to take stunning photos with a drone or phone that will leave you with incredible memories! You will be amazed by this incredible experience.
