Changuu Private Island Paradise Cottage in Zanzibar Island
Changuu Private Island Paradise Cottage (natively/traditionally known as Prison Island) has been described as a Small Paradise on Earth, with its private white beach surrounded by the pristine waters of the Indian Ocean. The islet lies 3 ½ miles to the northwest of Zanzibar' Stone Town, and it is oblong in shape about ½ mile and 250 yards broad at the broadest part.
Getting there after a comfortable 20 minutes' boat drive from Stone Town by a traditional Dhow (fishing boat) takes you to the most unique experience in life. 
Changuu Private Island Paradise has restored these historical buildings to make them living structures, adapted to new uses while preserving their authenticity.
The Prison ruins have now been converted into a bright living structure, offering a host of entertainment facilities, such as a café, boutique and library.
The Mathews' Restaurant is an artfully restored building that was erected in the late 1890s; its wide verandah, enjoying the invigorating sea breeze, overlooks the irresistible swimming pool at which fresh water is available for the first time in the history of this islet. 
Prison Island observes, quietly, from the distance; its outline seen from the hectic Stone Town, but its magic can only be guessed from there. To feel it, you just need to get there, and get soaked by it! In this Spice Island, the hotel's chef prepares a delicious variety of cuisine incorporating traditional Zanzibari elements as well as the freshest fish and seafood, a choice of settings and flavours to entice the most demanding palate.
Or, if you prefer a pizza: why not? In this cosmopolitan archipelago, enjoy a delicious pizza al fresco overlooking the magnificently restored Prison ruins. The dinners are just a fiesta to enhance your senses, at the incomparable setting of Mathews’ restaurant, that was completely renovated and keeping the spirit of 19th century. It retained most of its original objects as well as its unique charm, and it incorporates now the most delicious Swahili as well as international recipes. During the day, spoil yourself lying at the white sandy beach overlooking the Stone Town, or get the best of the sunbath by the swimming pool. As the sun sets, get ready for the Jailhouse rock, joining the world famous parties of Prison Island, enjoying one (or more) of the endless list of our delicious cocktails.
From the warm welcome on arrival at Changuu Private Island Paradise Cottage with fresh coconuts, to parties (optional, indeed) that never ended up before dawn, this paradise islet offers you the most diverse leisure possibilities. The island offers you all; and the choice is all yours.Prison Island is a place for nature lovers. Home to the undisturbed tortoise sanctuary, surrounded by the pristine waters of the Indian Ocean, and with the 19th century’ buildings that have been artfully restored, the island is a natural treasure at which options are many, for activities but, as well to decide to relax: for centuries, Prison Island has been specially recommended for bathing and sun tanning and exposed to cool breeze…
The place is stylish, smart and exclusively elegant; with its delicious fresh water swimming pool and a floodlit tennis court inside the dense forest that covers the heart of the island. The tropical forest is ideal for nature trails, with different flora and fauna, home of the Giant Aldabra Tortoises, that inhabit the island for the last 80 years, and that make the island one of the most important attractions in Zanzibar. Worldwide known for its magical balance between nature and culture, the magnificently restored Prison Ruins host the cultural and musical evening events in an incomparable setting.
