I stayed 6 nights in Zanzibella all alone and almost didn’t leave the hotel because that’s how good it was! I had a nice peaceful garden view out of my room. I had breakfast every morning and for me it was enough options not to get tired of it for 6 days ) the pool was just amazing , that’s where I spent most of the time tanning and swimming over to the bar to get a fresh coconut or virgin passion fruit mojito 🥥 the whole hotel area is really large and very instagrammable! I was taking pictures on every corner ! One day I booked a massage and it was one of the best I ever had in my life ☺️ after the massage they let me use the jacuzzi which was just amazing ☺️ in the evenings I also enjoyed laying in the hammock and reading my book 📖 Every evening I had dinner at the hotel , they had a nice variety of food, I mostly went for Italian cuisine and it was delicious (especially tortellini). And by the way, they delivered the food very quickly) The staff from the receptionist to waiters and housekeeping was all super friendly and helpful ☺️ I also really liked 24/7 security, made me sleep peacefully)) I’m really happy I chose to spend my vacation in this hotel and if you’re looking for a place to forget you have a job and just disconnect, this is the right one 🌴

The team and the food and the vibes, everything. Looking forward to come again :)

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. Some rooms have a private swimming pool.

Zanbluu had exceptional staff and gorgeous views of the ocean. We loved having our own personal pool and the option to go to the bigger pool and bar. The staff truly brought smiles to our faces during each interaction and we were continuously amazed by the lovely property. The all-inclusive rooms are definitely worth it — we were able to enjoy a variety of food and drinks throughout our 5 night stay. The property is perfectly sized - even with several other guests throughout the property, it still felt very intimate. Also, it was nice to have private beach access rather than going to the main Kiwengwa Beach. We could walk to the main beach very easily during low tide (about 15 min walk), but it is filled with locals trying to sell you things. The private beach at Zanbluu was much more peaceful.

    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 💙
