Spice Island

Spice Island typically refers to Zanzibar, an archipelago off the coast of Tanzania renowned for its historical role in the spice trade. Historically, it was a key source of valuable spices like cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg, which attracted traders and shaped the region’s economy and culture. Today, Spice Island is known for its beautiful beaches, rich history, and diverse cultural influences from Africa, Arab, and European heritage. While "Spice Island" usually points to Zanzibar, the term can sometimes be used more broadly for other spice-producing regions, but Zanzibar remains the most famous association.
