The Blue Oyster is a small and cosy family-run hotel, directly adjacent to the white sandy beach of Zanzibar. We are situated in Jambiani, a small traditional fishing village on the south east coast. As a responsible tourism certified hotel we place a strong emphasis on co-operating and working together with the local community.
