Update (13 March, 10:56): This deal is no longer available at £899, but can be purchased at £940 per person for travel on most dates from 15 April-31 May. 

With deserted tropical beaches, azure seas and a laidback pace of life, Zanzibar -- 35km off the east coast of Africa -- is the archetypal island paradise. For that reason, deals are hard to come by, but this offer from Crystal Travel is pretty special: at £899 per person for a week-long break, it saves £190 on similar packages we’ve seen elsewhere.  

Stay at the Bluebay Beach Resort & Spa in Kiwengwa with breakfast and dinner included daily. Flights from London Heathrow are included. Transfers are not included, but can be added for an extra £30 per person.

The resort has an on-site watersports centre offering activities such as kayaking, sailing and water trampolining. Dining options include a seafood and steak restaurant, the poolside Makuti Restaurant and the informal toes-in-the-sand Beach Bar & Restaurant. Click here for more information about the resort.

Depart on most dates from 15 April-31 May.
