Zanzibella Hotel & SPA

Hotel in Kiwengwa

Located in Kiwengwa, 25 miles from Peace Memorial Museum, Zanzibella Hotel & SPA provides accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. It was not as busy as some of the other resorts. We were able to relax and enjoy the quietness, but could also enjoy the warm swimming pool and amazing views. The food was great. I would recommend booking all inclusive or full board.

Babalao Bungalows

Hotel in Nungwi Beach, Nungwi

Babalao Bungalows has an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Nungwi. I really loved this place !! The owners were so nice and friendly. It is a small place decorated with taste, even the rooms, lots of local things around remind you where you are. The breakfast is incredible as they change every day so it doesn’t get boring ;-). The tables in wood are like local boats. What a great idea !!! The guest are really international and it’s easy to get in touch with other people. They have a dog and a cat but very brave and discreet. It’s very close to the beach, restaurants etc The staff is also top and they always smile. There’s no need to look for another place if you come to Nungwi: Babalao is where you should stay.

Samawa Living

Hotel in Paje

Located in Paje, a 6-minute walk from Paje Beach, Samawa Living provides accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness center and a garden. Everything was AMAZING. The staff is incredibly nice and always made me feel welcome. I took a yoga and meditation class which were offer by the hotel, both the best clases I have ever taken. The food is delicious both diner and breakfast. My room was beautiful, the bed extremely comfortable, and they go way beyond with all the toiletreats. The pool is also super niche and while the hotel does not have access to the beach, a 5 min golf cart will take you there. Great location too, near to trendy restaurants and artisan markets.

Be Zanzibar Boutique Hotel

Hotel in Mfumbwi

Facing the beachfront, Be Zanzibar Boutique Hotel offers 5-star accommodations in Mfumbwi and features an outdoor swimming pool, garden and private beach area. We had a wonderful stay at Be Zanzibar. Everything exceeded expectations! The owner, who is an architect, thought of every detail and curated a beautiful experience merging his experiences in Mexico and Dubai! They have multiple water sports you can do for free (clear kayak, paddle board, water bikes, etc.), and a dhow if you want to go snorkeling. The food at the restaurant, Casa Coco, was the cherry on top…great selection to choose from and the best Thai fried rice we have had at a non-Thai restaurant. Many thanks to Tarek, Alé, Yahya, and the whole Be Zanzibar family. Can’t recommend this place enough. We will definitely be back again soon!

Located in Matemwe, a few steps from Matemwe Beach, Infinity Beach Boutique Hotel & SPA provides accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a private beach area. My friend and I had an amazing stay here. The customer service was top-notch, and the staff were incredibly friendly, always making sure we felt at home. The facilities were great, and while the beach wasn’t ideal for swimming, the lovely hotel pool more than made up for it. And Infinity the cat made the stay even more incredible!
