Chapwani island is a very beautiful and quiet nature reserve, not far from Stone Town. In addition to the lovely clean beaches, you can walk through the forest and see dik dik (mini deer), big land crabs and hundreds of fruit bats. The large, sea water swimming pool is a nice alternative when the tide is out. It was a real treat being able to wake up and run straight out of the cottage and into the sea (tide was high at 0700 hrs when we were there). The food was generally good and they gave us a candlelit dinner on the beach on our last night, which was special. A memorable stay!

Few accommodations on the island, lots of privacy. Very peacful. Our accommodation was great, with a private pool, deckchairs and a nice view of the sea. Possibility to rent a kayak (for free). The island is small you go around quickly, can do snorkling, see easily lots of bats, dik-dik (more difficult) and a few birds in the morning and at the end of the day. Welcoming and kind staff. Very good dinner, with starter, main course and dessert.

The island is paradisiac. Pure nature. You sleep hearing the birds. There are not many guests and all people enjoying nature and quietness. You get never tired of walking in the small forest watching the bates, the coconut crabs and the small anthilops. You can use for free two kayaks and go around the island. You can swim in the warm blue/green sea and during the low tide you can enjoy the salt water swimming pool with view to the see. Every morning you can go for free with the boat of the hotel to Stone Town stay there for 3 hours and return with the same boat. You can go to prison island from there for USD 15,00/person. Snorkling is very good from the beach during the low tide. A great variety of corals, coral fishes, and sea stars. Mr. Tito, the manager is very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful island where you can escape from noise and beach boys and enjoy nature in peace. So much wildlife to explore. Coral reef in great condition for snorkeling right off the Island. Beach bungalows were surprisingly comfortable, high quality food and staff were so friendly and helpful

We absolutely fell in love with this island. The food was very good, the staff was amazing - so friendly and caring. They made us feel welcome and at home whenever we met them. Also we had the feeling that they took great care to keep the island clean of plastic and other stuff. You can do so many things - snorkeling, kayaking, doing yoga (at your own with the most beautiful view) reading (they have books & some games) swimming, hiking, watching animals like small antelopes, bats, sea life - the island changes like 3-4 times a day with the tides it never gets boring. We even had extended to enjoy the beauty of this island longer. It was our absolute highlight of our Sansibar trip.

we loved the remote island location and the beautiful swimming beaches. also the fact you could move to the different sides of the island to get out of the wind if needed.

Everything! beautiful structure, great staff (always ready to help), clean rooms, beautiful interior design, bottles of water in the room, good and always fresh food. The private island is beautiful, you will find a very calm and relax environment with many activities to do such as kayaking, snorkelling, starfishes walk, spotting animals on the island, romantic dinner on the beach, happy hour at your bungalow enjoying the sunset and more… You also have a small cute shop where you can buy some handcraft souvenir. Wifi only in the common areas. The boat service is very good, in 30 min you are there.
