5 Dreamy Resorts in Africa That Feel Like the Maldives (But Closer)

If you’ve ever caught yourself daydreaming about white sand beaches, overwater villas, and that iconic Maldives glow, you’re not alone. But what if we told you that you don’t have to fly halfway around the world to feel like you’re in paradise?

Africa is home to some of the most breathtaking luxury resorts that deliver all the calm, glam, and barefoot bliss you’d expect from faraway islands like Bora Bora or the Maldives — but with shorter flights, less jetlag, and just as much magic.

1. The Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort – Zanzibar, Tanzania

Set on the shores of Nungwi Beach, this resort is everything a tropical dream should be. Think infinity pools that blend into the horizon, beach dinners under the stars, and swaying palms at every turn. Whether you’re planning a honeymoon or a girls’ getaway, Royal Zanzibar serves soft life all day.

2. La Digue Island Lodge – Seychelles

La Digue is often described as the island where time slows down. This resort features beachfront chalets, direct access to Anse Source d’Argent (one of the world’s most photographed beaches), and waters so clear you can count the fish. It’s serenity wrapped in luxury.

3. Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort – Mauritius

From its lush green gardens to its all-inclusive gourmet dining, Heritage Awali is a luxury experience with a soul. Families, couples, and solo travelers alike will find something to love here — whether it’s kayaking in the lagoon or winding down with an ocean-view massage.

4. Fundu Lagoon – Pemba Island, Tanzania

Accessible only by boat, Fundu Lagoon gives private island energy with a raw, untouched twist. The thatched-roof villas sit along the beach or deep within the jungle, blending eco-conscious charm with serious style. It’s perfect for those who want to unplug, recharge, and stay off the radar.

5. The Oberoi Beach Resort – Sahl Hasheesh, Egypt

Yes, Egypt. Known for pyramids and pharaohs, but the Red Sea Riviera is a different kind of treasure. This Oberoi property boasts stunning suites, private pools, world-class dining, and coral-rich waters perfect for snorkeling or diving. An unexpected luxury gem in North Africa.

Whether you’re after the overwater feel, barefoot luxury, or a just-you-and-the-sea type of experience, Africa has more to offer than most travelers realize.

And with Akorite Travels, all you have to do is say when. From flights to resort bookings and 24/7 customer care, we make the journey just as sweet as the destination.
