Hotels in Tanzania

This place is absolutely beautiful and even better than the photos. With only a few rooms, it feels incredibly calm and exclusive — like having your own private beach house in Zanzibar. The design is stunning: clean white walls, natural floors, wooden beams, handcrafted furniture, and soft neutral tones everywhere. The rooms are extremely spacious, bright, and airy, with extremely comfortable beds and thoughtful details throughout. The open-plan bathroom is gorgeous — modern, minimal, and perfectly in harmony with the overall style. Outside, the pool overlooking the ocean is a highlight. Swimming while looking out at the turquoise water and endless horizon is unforgettable, especially at sunset. The beachfront terrace with loungers is perfect for relaxing, reading, or just doing nothing at all. The location in Pongwe is quiet and unspoiled, ideal if you’re looking for peace and authenticity rather than crowds. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and palm trees is pure magic. Everything is spotless and very well maintained, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming without feeling busy or intrusive. If you love boutique hotels with character, beautiful design, and a relaxed luxury feel, this place is a real gem. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Very properly named place: beautiful, quiet and not too touristy location. The owners and all the staff were super helpful and sweet and helped us organize day trips and even offered a free snorkeling trip! Also, the restaurant is excellent and the wifi works well.

It’s just an amazing place with a great location. We received the full attention of the friendly and highly skilled staff—from the excellent bar service to the extraordinary food. In particular, I want to say a special thanks to David Larius, the Front Office Manager. He was incredibly helpful in arranging our flight, which we had booked on short notice. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, topped off with an amazing game drive we will never forget.

A wonderful stay. Beautiful tent in the wildlife . Lots of beautiful wood. Every detail was meticulously thought out. Attention to the guest. The stuff were very attentive. Beds and bathrooms were prepared beautifully. Excellent cuisine. We highly recommend this tent. The standard is very high.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The room decoration and the sea view were simply stunning, making it a truly special experience. The common areas, especially the dining space, were beautifully decorated and had such a relaxing atmosphere, also overlooking the ocean. The service was outstanding — the staff were always attentive and willing to help with any needs I had, which made everything so much easier and more enjoyable. The location couldn’t be better: just 100m from a diving center, 200m from the local village, and right by the sea. It was the perfect balance between comfort, convenience, and natural beauty. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing yet unforgettable stay by the ocean.

We stayed in Hekaya for 5 nights and could not have enjoyed it more, it was honestly one of the nicest places we have stayed. The staff were so friendly, attentive and good fun. Activities were arranged for us on request with a driver we really liked. The food was delicious with very generous portions. Our room looked out on the beach and could hear the tides coming in and out from our bed. We were a stone's throw away from the rock restaurant. We are already planning a return visit, it's the most perfect place to unwind.

This resort is a hidden paradise. We didn’t stay long but we wish if we could stay more. Amazing location quiet. And directly on beach. And best part. You can see a lot of red colobus (Zanzibar red monkey) which is really nice. Breakfast was delicious staff and manager was very helpful very recommended

Private Location, private Beach. Lovely Host and Stuff.

What a beautiful, neat cosy boutique hotel. Alp gave me the best welcoming i ever had when i arrived. He was very helpful and accommodating to all types of services and questions. I really liked the provided service of refilling water bottles for free. Breakfast was yummy. The hotel is only a few steps from the beach and is close to baraka restaurant.

We had the most pleasant stay at the Escarpment Camp. The whole team is really polite, helpful and had some sweet surprises for us. Besides that everyone speaks a really good English, inviting us to ask a lot about Tanzanian culture and life. Special thanks to Upendo, who took care of us. The room was exceptional equipped and very clean, not to compare with a regular tented camp. We stayed two separate nights - one in the regular room and one in the VIP-Room, which is slightly bigger, with an outside shower and small pool. Since the camp is erected in March 2024, everything was brand new. The food was fantastic, with a great variety, excellent quality and freshly cooked. The dining room offers a stunning view in the nature with zebras coming along at breakfast time. All in all we would definitely book it again and can recommend the camp to everyone looking for a special retreat after a long day of safari.

Very quiet location and very close to the ocean. The food was very good with fresh fruits and juices daily but what I loved was how friendly and welcoming everyone was. I would definitely come back here again.
