Located in Kiwengwa, a few steps from Kiwengwa Beach, Z-Lodge Zanzibar provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. With a bar, the 4-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation features room service, a 24-hour front desk and currency exchange for guests.

The hotel is right in front of the ocean, spectacular sunrise, which you can enjoy from the restaurant while having breakfast. Room was good for it's price (we found a very good promotion) and every day cleaned. We really enjoyed the food in the restaurant, all the food we tried was amazing and it presented so beautiful. Staff were very friendly. We enjoyed the simplicity of the rooms that give you the right "island" feeling. Recommended for couples who want to enjoy some privacy and quietness.

Located in Kiwengwa, 41 km from Peace Memorial Museum, Zanzibella Hotel & SPA provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. Each accommodation at the 5-star hotel has garden views, and guests can enjoy access to a hot tub. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property.

Zanzibella Hotel&SPA is without a doubt the best value for the money!!! A true 5* experience, I will warmly recommend it to all my friends and customers. First of all the LOCATION is great: it gives you the vibe of a boutique, so intimate with a great beach where you can't see the low tide, basically you have water all day long and it is so pristine and warm. The hotel offeres a bunch of FACILITIES at no extra costs (such as paddle board, entertainment shows and so on). The design of the ROOM is brand new and kept clean the whole day, 1 to 1 with the presented pictures. There were no mosquitos at all. CUSTOMER SERVICE is just top notch at everything!!! Starting with Helen who served us impaccably and ending with Chaimae who offered us the best customer recovery (I had a health issue during our stay and they made sure I felt so comfortable in their location). The FOOD is so diverse, fresh and accompanied by ambiental music. Also plenty of instagramable spots: garden, pool, swings, terraces, flowers, everywhere you look you are surrounded by beauty. It was my 3rd time in Zanzibar and also traveled to plenty of exotic destinations and stayed in well knows luxury hotels, but Zanzibella is not just comparable, but also I could not recommend it enough!

Insta Beach Resort is located extraordinary. Away from hectic tourist spots it is like a small oasis to relax! But yet there are a few restaurants directly next to the hotel to enjoy the local food too. Breakfast was so delicious and the staff at the restaurant and bar was so helpful and nice. We enjoyed our honeymoon a lot and would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Marafiki Bungalows is located on the beach in Kiwengwa,overlooking the ocean.Zanzibar International Airport is a 1 hour drive away.

The rooms are housed in traditional bungalow units, featuring local Zanzibari architecture and dried palm leaves for roofing. The furniture is locally crafted and the interiors are complemented with ocean-coloured overlays created using traditional looms.

Super nice and helpful! We loved Justina, Esther and Susi but honestly the boss who runs the place is defensively Tiger the cat. 🐈😻 we are still in love with him! Breakfast, lunch and dinner was always more than good and the special evenings as Masai night and live music was really fun! Thank you for planning our trips, our transports to the airport and all other requests we had and for those awesome ice coffees at the pool. 😍

    After an easy-peasy pickup from the ferry in Stone Town, we arrived at the Villa to be welcomed by a super friendly team and a romantic seafood dinner set for us right on the beach. It was perfection from the first moment! We spent a relaxing weekend enjoying the pool, walking on the beach, playing games, swimming in the ocean and eating the delicious food prepared by the Chef. We felt safe, pampered and well taken care of. Mr. Davies made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We can't wait to go back!

    The hotel is located at the quieter end of the beach and room was located right on the beach so it felt like you had your own private beach. We really liked the front patio and hammock.

    We liked everything, from the wonderful, smiling and always helpful hosts and staff, through the amazing space around the hotel, wonderful massages, to the restaurant, the view of the ocean and our favorite outdoor bed right on the beach. It was a pleasure to spend a week of our vacation there, we felt like at home. We hope that we will be able to return there again.

    Unlike most other resorts this one is right on the beach, there is no barrier between you and the ocean. And since it’s a small place the beach vendors (who are everywhere on every beach in Zanzibar) tend to focus on the beach stretches of the bigger resorts. This is a huge advantage. Food is great, staff is friendly and welcoming. Walking up and down the beach it was super evident that this is the best place for kilometers both up and down the beach.

    The first thing I want to mention is the lovely staff, very friendly and attentive. Location right on the beach. You can watch the views of the ocean, having breakfast or relaxing on a sunbed. Good cuisine at reasonable prices in the hotel restaurant. So, if you are looking for an atmosphere of complete relaxation and tranquility, this is the right choice.

    Very good food, everyday different and the hotel is very well located, right on the beach. The ocean itself was also very good to swim in, no rocks, which you find sometimes in Zanzibar. Besides, the staff is very friendly, Stella and Harry from the reception are very welcoming and there is everyday some other entertainment to do or see.

    Bahati Villa was wonderful from the moment we arrived. They have very clean rooms with A/C and the staff are very friendly. Their private beach area is very comfortable and provides some escape from the loads of people trying to sell you something on the beach. Although the rooms are not on the beachfront, they are shaded by a beautiful tree which has many birds, bats and thick-tailed bushbabies. Our absolutely highlight here is the breakfast which is amazing!

    We had such a delightful stay. When you arrive you get a warm welcome from Ivana and the whole team accompanied with the most beautiful view of the beach and the ocean. We had a beautiful spacious room with a terrace. Also the comman area is really nice. The whole vibe is chilled. In the restaurant they have a really wide choice of traditional and european food. Also prosecco ;) The location in perfect, right on the beach. I would recommand this place to everyone who wants to totally relax. Staying there was truly a dream 💙
