A picturesque East African town is becoming the new party spot for British tourists looking for sun, sand and £1 beers.

Zanzibar, Tanzania’s stunning island paradise, has even been compared to the new party town ‘Magaluf’ by tourists who can enjoy turquoise waters and nightclubs from just £6.50 per person.

With its pristine beaches, affordable drinks and year-round tropical climate, this stunning island paradise has quickly gained popularity among those seeking vibrant nightlife and stunning natural beauty.

According to recent statistics from luxury tour operator Scott Dunn, “up-and-coming” Zanzibar has seen a staggering 83% increase in bookings among its wealthy clientele.

Its sharp rise in tourism comes as popular European holiday destinations such as Lanzarote and Amsterdam crack down on rowdy behavior and ask drunken Brits to “stay away”.

Zanzibar, Tanzania’s stunning island paradise, has been dubbed the new party town ‘Magaluf’ by tourists who can enjoy turquoise waters and nightclubs from just £6.50 per person.

However, there is one particular part of the island that is not the preserve of the rich and where British tourists are flocking in record numbers: Zanzibar’s main town.

One of the main attractions that draws British tourists to Zanzibar City is its unbeatable drinks deals.

According to PintPrice, not only can you get pints from as little as £1.06, but Hikers Bay says you can get a meal at an affordable restaurant in the city from as little as £3.84.

There are also affordable accommodation options, with a budget double room for two adults, found by daily star at booking.com, for just £13 per night – It’s a fantastic £6.50 per person.

There are plenty of bars, clubs and restaurants where Brits have been partying all night, as well as exploring historic sites such as Stone Town, the birthplace of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury.

From diving in crystal-clear waters of the Indian Sea to exploring historic cities, visitors to Zanzibar are spoiled for choice when it comes to leisure activities and cultural immersion.

The nation also has the famous Serengeti National Park, home to the Big Five safari lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos and rhinos, as well as Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro.

Furthermore, Zanzibar’s idyllic beaches and its consistently warm temperatures, averaging around 30°C year-round, provide the perfect setting for unforgettable holiday experiences.

Scott Dunn advised: “November to March is when you will enjoy a less crowded safari as this is usually the green season.

“The rains turn the landscape into a lush green and that is when you are most likely to see newborn animals.”

With flights on Skyscanner available for as little as £378 for a return trip, Zanzibar is set to remain a top choice for travelers looking for an affordable yet unforgettable holiday for years to come.

Meanwhile, Brits are being warned about a little-known rule that could turn a dream holiday to Spain into a nightmare.

In Benidorm, a new rule affects the place where tourists spend the most time abroad: the beach.

Time restrictions mean that if you are caught swimming in the sea between midnight and 7am, you will risk a fine of between €750 and €1,200 (£641.71 and £1,026.73).
