Offering an outdoor pool and a restaurant, Sahari Zanzibar in Bwejuu is situated on a white, sandy beach. The hotel has a 24-hour front desk.

The rooms are decorated in typical Colonial style and offer a small patio with sea views. They feature a four-poster bed with mosquito nets, a fan and a fridge. The private bathrooms have a shower with hot and cold water.

Sahari provided all the necessary for me to have a pleasant stay by a nice beach. The staff was very friendly, attentive to details. It is in a calm location, Bwejuu village, although within a walkable distance to a bigger town (Paje), around 20-30 min beach stroll. The room was clean and well maintained.

Offering an outdoor pool and a restaurant, Indigo Beach Zanzibar is located in Bwejuu. Free WiFi access is available in this resort.

The rooms contain Swahili-style furnishings and the bathrooms come with a shower and free toiletries. Extras include a fan.

Fantastic place for a relaxed stay at the Eastern coast of Zanzibar. The beachfront bungalow was perfect for us. The outdoor bathroom including toilet and shower was special! The place has some of the nicest staff I have ever had at any hotel around the world. So much caring, taking responsibility and personal commitment to making our stay better was amazing. Given that on the East coast the tides are significant, the pool was highly appreciated. The place is secure and located at the quieter part of the Eastern coast - we were walking along the beach even at night and never felt threatened or unsafe. There are beachfront restaurants and places for a cold beer up and down the beach. The food at this hotel was really really good - local dishes and daily changing menu was offered. Cocktails, wines and other drinks were served wherever you wanted to have them, bungalow, beach, pool or lounge... And really - the staff was amazing! THANK YOU ALL INDIGO BEACH TEAM!! You made our 3-week vacation special!

    Beautifully designed and maintained boutique hotel; feels like a sophisticated private home. Wonderful host. To give an example of the level of service, my suitcase had been damaged during transit. The hotel was able to fix it and return it to me within 30 minutes of arrival. Exceptional!

    The decor is funky and modern. The hotel is well designed and spacious. Big clean swimming pools and lovely private houses for each guest. Marquerite gave us excellence advice and was very helpful. She could help with anything. She organized our kite surfing lessons, taxis and bicycles. She is a star! Aisha also helped us with a smile everytime. The area is beautiful and less crowded than the north. Breakfast was good and our kids loved the game room. The hammock for each house was special.

    A beautifully designed small boutique hotel. The owners Denisa and Valentin are absolutely amazing and very accommodating by assisting us with late night check in and late check out. They have really put alot of thought into this place and you can see it in every detail, from the design and layout of the rooms, to the well-trained staff and to the amazing food! The food is just wow! It is really not necessary to venture out of the hotel as you have everything there!!! Do not hesitate to book!!!
