A calm, air-conditioned DragonPass escape from Zanzibar's Terminal 2.

About this lounge

Paradise Arrival Lounge sits airside in Zanzibar's Terminal 2, the older of the airport's two passenger buildings. It's an independent contract lounge reached on DragonPass, so entry depends on your membership rather than the airline you're flying. Inside you'll find an air-conditioned space with comfortable seating, Wi-Fi, a TV, newspapers and magazines, plus soft drinks and a light cold spread to see you through to boarding. As a compact island-airport lounge it's a calm, cool place to settle away from the busy terminal floor rather than a large flagship operation, and it's a sensible pick if you're carrying DragonPass and departing from Terminal 2.

Fine for catching up on email or browsing before a flight, with Wi-Fi and air-conditioned seating, though it isn't a dedicated work lounge and seating is general rather than desk-based.

Food & drink

A light, self-service offering aimed at a comfortable pre-flight wait rather than a full meal — cold snacks alongside soft drinks and juices. It's enough to tide you over before boarding without expecting a hot buffet.
