Hotels with Pools in Pingwe

The resort was exactly what we needed, a nice quiet stay with great views & well kept grounds. There are 2 pools on the property which were great to escape the heat. The beach was quiet and beautiful, and very peaceful comparing to Nungwi beaches, which can be full of tourists and vendors. Our Villa was very spacious for the 4 of us, and had great ocean front views, nice wrap around balcony and a private pool. The staff at the restaurant were all amazing, special thanks to Musafa (I hope I got that right) he made our day with his contagious smile & laugh J The food was very good, especially the beetroot tartare & octopus, we had it on multiple occasions. Would love to return and definitely stay here again, just a long way from Canada!

We loved pretty much everything about our stay at Hekaya Zanzibar: the location which felt very private (only 5 rooms), the direct access to the beach, the cleanliness, the multiple areas where you can relax, the beautiful garden curated by John (who is kind enough to arrange flowers for the guests relaxing by the pool), the food (especially the bruschetta!), the overall vibe and, last but not least, all the members of the staff who have been extremely polite, helpful and friendly and went out of their way to make our wedding anniversary special also by arranging a private dinner on the beach. We 100% recommend Hekaya to whoever is looking for quiet, peace and relax in a wonderful environment that makes you feel like home.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Villa is set inside the Natural Resort though managed by the owner separately- but you still get most benefits if the resort including access to the restaurant/bar which is literally only a few feet away. This villa is located on the sea front and has great views over the ocean from the top bedroom balcony, and yet is very private for enjoying the private pool. Bedrooms are spacious with their own en-suites and A/C. With a further shared toilet, which works well. The villa is in a beautiful setting along the Zanzibar coastline with close access to great snorkelling. A short cab ride to amazing restaurants like “the Rock” if the on site restaurant doesn’t suit. The owner was also very accommodating with an early check in.

The beautiful views , the peaceful environment and the friendly staff

This place is a true hidden gem! The apartments are brand new, spotlessly clean, and exceptionally comfortable, with every detail thoughtfully maintained. The grounds are beautifully cared for by the attentive and friendly staff, who go above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect. The swimming pool is fantastic—so inviting that we spent half our time there, with the other half enjoying the pristine beach just a short stroll away. Elena, the wonderful property owner, made our stay unforgettable with her warm hospitality and invaluable assistance. The location at Pingwe Beach is unbeatable, offering a blend of tranquility and excitement. We loved exploring the amazing local restaurants and witnessing the stunning natural sandbar that emerges daily with the low tide. We can’t wait to return!

The rooms were lovely. We had a small cottage to ourselves. The breakfast was also amazing

Although a poor (very short) road to get to we found this a wonderful and welcoming place to stay and would certainly return.

We loved every moment of our holiday. The staff were all so friendly. The place is so beautiful. The room we stayed in was so comfortable with an air conditioner. The food was so delicious and beautifully presented. The beach was so lovely with wonderful snorkeling near by. The dining room is right on the beach so you hear the waves gently rolling in. The swimming pool is kept immaculate and is wonderful.

Everything is excellent After a week the food became repetitive, but there is loads of choice and great quality!!

The pool was just beautiful and the area around it and the rooms beautifully landscaped. Room was great, nice hot shower, Netflix on the tv and a nice seating area outside. Staff were helpful and friendly. Had a great lobster bisque and a lovely onion soup.

I loved everything but to name a few: the stunning beach that even has a walkway into the ocean, the hotel staff’s attention to guest, the gym, the location, the spa and overall the smell of flowers/plants all over the resort. The resort has a charm that all those large hotels (that are so impersonal) miss out on. There was always plenty of food so even the pickiest eater can find something. There is entertainment most of the night and twice a week there is massai dinner/entertainment.

This holiday home is an absolut recommendation for visitors to Zanzibar, whether looking for peace or as a starting point for active exploration of the island. The house is located directly on the wonderful Michamvi beach within sight of the Rock Restaurant and just a few kilometers from Jozani National Park. It offers several bedrooms and wonderfully designed lounges with all the necessary equipment. The garden with the pool belonging to the house is beautifully landscaped and also offers numerous opportunities for relaxation - always with an overwhelming sea view. But the best thing was the friendly staff, who gave us a warm welcome and were always there to help and advise us. The included breakfast was rich and tasty and the additional dinner was also great. We would like to thank our friendly hosts for the excellent care.

Very nice place, very hospitable hosts, great ocean view For those who look for more than just blue water and sandy beach, the low tides are rather an advantage, giving a superb and cosmic view. The food was also great!

The property looks like something out of a movie. It looks incredible

The staff here are fantastic! They’re friendly and go above and beyond to be helpful and accommodating. The attention to detail is excellent and the personalised little touches are an extra treat. They just made our stay unforgettable. Especially Hashim and Glory, who we will miss very much and must come back and visit! It’s a beautiful hotel in luscious tropical gardens that feels secluded and private at the same time as well connected with other places nearby to visit and other hotels and restaurants along the beautiful white sandy beach. The pool is wonderful and always immaculately clean with beautiful views of the ocean. The food was also excellent! The best in the area for sure so no need to eat anywhere else. The chef included delicious veggie options every day on the menu of the day so I never ate the same thing twice! The excellent reviews here are truly deserved and I would highly recommend staying here for a relaxing or active few days. Also a shout out to the ladies in the spa, who added blissful pampering to the unforgettable experience! Thanks for having us! Heidi and Anne Gunn ❤️

Absolutely stunning place, with an amazing team and service that goes above and beyond. Everything was simply perfect!

a fantastic hotel team looked after us well

After the safari adventure, we spent four unforgettable days at Zawadi Hotel in Zanzibar this September. Without a doubt, this is the best hotel we have ever stayed at, and it deserves every bit of praise. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the sheer beauty of the property. The entire area feels like a slice of paradise, with lush, manicured gardens and vibrant flowers creating a tranquil oasis. Every detail is carefully attended to, making the surroundings feel magical. The villas were absolutely spotless and beautifully designed, offering the perfect blend of comfort and luxury. The highlight of our stay, however, was the food. Every meal was served à la carte, and each dish was excellent—imaginative, delicious, and prepared with great care. Dining at Zawadi was a true culinary delight. The staff at Zawadi set a new standard for hospitality. From the warm and welcoming reception team, especially the lovely Noura, to the attentive F&B staff and even the gardeners, everyone we encountered was genuinely kind and went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. One of the most memorable experiences was the guided tour through the gardens, which was both informative and enjoyable (feeding the donkey was almosts as exciting as safari!). We also loved the little touches, like sundowners served in our villa and the creative gin and tonic menu. Zawadi Hotel is a place we will never forget. It’s more than a hotel—it’s an experience. We’re already dreaming of returning and cannot recommend it highly enough. If you’re looking for a slice of paradise, Zawadi is the place to be.

One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been, without doubts. Just in the beach, in front of the rock restaurant, with interior and exterior spaces incredibly well decorated. Our room in the villa was amazing, big, with alla the amenities needed, and I loved we have a pool just for 3/4 rooms and so many outdoor sofas and chairs. They also offer teas, coffees and snacks in the room that are very good. Breakfast is good and the hotel offer all you need to do snorkeling. I loved the spa services (gave and feet massages were super). Staff is kind and the restaurant is quite good.

breakfast was amaizing, the staff were so cool, property is right on the beach and nearby amaizing restaurants to try out.

If you're looking to unwind, Oleza is the ideal destination. Situated in Michamvi on the serene Southeast coast of Zanzibar, it offers a tranquil atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle, perfect for relaxation. Close to Pingwe and Paje, you'll find plenty to do while staying there. As for Oleza itself, having traveled extensively worldwide, I can confidently say that it boasts the most hospitable, accommodating, and delightful team I've encountered. Their proactive assistance exceeded my expectations, often extending help without even being prompted. They consistently go above and beyond to ensure guests have a memorable experience. Mr. Humphrey, the charming manager, is ever eager to teacher a few Swahili phrases, while the Chef ensures your dining experience is delightful. Despite my wife's gluten intolerance, he made special efforts to prepare delicious gluten-free dishes. At Oleza, their motto rings true: 'Arrive as a guest, depart as family.' And indeed, that's precisely how we experienced it. Asante sana!

The staff were very nice especially Alex, and it was exceptionally clean. They were quick to help whenever there was need

Beautiful decor,clean, modern,lovely well presented breakfast, beautiful pool and shower,very relaxing,lots of affectionate cats
