This is an excellent property with very good amenities to relax and very peaceful.

Other staff SHAFI, Abdul were very good in their service and food was healthy and tasty as well. We liked the plating the chef did for every meal we had. Overall we had a great time at this property and the friendly staff there who made it happen.

Mvuvi Boutique Resort, hotel in Kiwengwa

This resort overlooks a white sandy private beach area, and is located 39km from Zanzibar. Guests can swim or snorkel in the nearby reef or relax at the hotel bar.

We stayed at the annex of the Mvuvi which is 100 metres south of the main buildings, still on the beach of course. We were a bit concerned when they took us there on arrival that it would not match the good comments from the main hotel. We need not have worried: the family room was brand new, cleverly arranged, very well built and finished, with two levels of stunning views on the Indian Ocean. There is a beautiful pool, shaded areas, and the whole hotel is an extension of the gorgeous beach in front. Talking about the beach, we had read about people feeling harassed by the various vendors but did not find it a problem. The beach was clean, the tides were not an issue, nor was the very limited seaweed (August). We had partially selected the hotel based on good comments about the meals, and the food did not disappoint. Kudos to the chefs. And finally the owners and staff, all excellent and who made this a great stay. Thank you everyone!

Zanbluu Beach Hotel, hotel in Kiwengwa

Located on the coast of Kiwengwa, Zanbluu Beach Hotel offers ocean and garden views. The property offers an infinity pool with views of the ocean, as well as a pool bar.

I wouldn’t know where to begin. The property was a dream, lovely location, perfect to switch off and survive on cocktails and great food. The hotel staff was incredible, we made some many friends and they truly went out of their way to care for us. My husband and I were celebrating our bdays and it was a wonderful experience. I was also heavily sunburnt after going to the sea and the staff did everything they could to help me with that. 10/10 recommend Zaanblu!

    The location was breathtaking, felt like you are in paradise. Kiwengwa Beach resort is great for everyone, especially for famalies. So much to do at the resort from swimming in 1 of 3 pools or ocean, playing volleyball, tennis, planned activities in the day, shows at night etc. The staff from management, to waiters, kitchen, housekeeping, gardeners, animation team - everyone was super friendly and accommodating. Variety of delicious food options.

    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!
