Rukyira Island

Nestling in the Indian Ocean 50 km (30 miles) from the East-African coast, south of Zanzibar, the Tanzanian island of Rukyira is part of this mythical archipelago through which spices and ivory were once transported. Inspiring wanderlust, this region has fascinated explorers, writers and travellers for centuries and continues to do so today. You can explore the island on foot, let time stand still as you relax on its white-sand beaches bathed by turquoise waters, or go snorkelling to discover its underwater world.
