Promised Land Lodge, hotel in Kizimkazi

Located on the South Coast and 0.6 mi away from the village of Kizimkazi Mtendeni, Promised Land Lodge faces the sea and is surrounded by a tropical garden.

Most relaxing place I know on the planet. Locally built, owned an run lodge in a not very developed part of Zansibar. Not for people who wants parties and beach life, but if you're after beautifull surrondings, friendly environment and comfy, relaxing days this place is highly recommended. Food selection is a little limited, room standard is not european, and its about as remote as you get on Zansibar, but none of this matters to me.

Aya Beach Resort, hotel in Kizimkazi

Aya Beach Resort features free bikes, outdoor swimming pool, a garden and shared lounge in Kizimkazi. With a terrace, the property also has a restaurant, as well as a bar.

On the way back from our boat tour we sailed down the coast while our guide pointed out all the hotels. I can honestly say that, from the boat vantage point, there wasn't another one that I'd prefer to be at. Several were far more swanky, but Aya Beach Resort has a good combination of low-key accommodation, and a nice location overlooking a wonderful beach, which also acts as the hub of the local community. The hotel is quite ragged around the edges, which wouldn't suit everyone. The accommodation is fairly rudimentary, but the bed is comfy, there's a sitting area, a patio and AC (essential here). The shower-room is basic but adequate. The restaurant serves excellent food, but a limited menu, so after six days it's hard to avoid repeats. The atmosphere is relaxed. Around the hotel there is very little to do, which is great for a few days, but beyond six I think I'd want something more. The hotel purports to be 4-star, but this wouldn't bear comparison if we were in Europe. However, despite some expected developing world shortcomings, overall we feel incredibly fortunate to have stumbled on this little gem. Not perfect, but jolly nice.

Salida Beach, hotel in Kizimkazi

Located in Kizimkazi, a 9-minute walk from Kizimkazi Mkunguni Beach, Salida Beach has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

We stayed one night at Salida Beach. It is located a bit outside of the centre of Kizimkazi. By scooter, it takes you around 5 minutes to get to the main road and the main beach. The room was perfect. Every room has a little balcony or a terrace. It was superclean, the waterpressure was strong, and there was even a mini-fridge in the room. The ventilator is very fast and in gerneall the room was very well temperatured, no AC necessary at all. The wifi was stable and fast. The place has a generator, so there are no problems with powercuts. The area of Salida Beach is quite big, with a lot of trees which keep the place cool. There are some sunbeds directly at the coastline on the small cliff over the water, where you can watch the sunset or just relax. There is also a hammock. There is no sand beach, but stairs lead you down to the ocean if you want to swim, which I highly recommend, especially if it is high tide. The breakfast is out of this world. Everyone gets a big plate of fruits, then the eggs as you want them with guacamole and bread and 2 pancakes. For drinks, they had coffee, tea, and a very very good juice. There is the opportunity to have dinner at Salida Beach as well, but we did not try that. The staff was super friendly, they welcomed us, showed us the place, and were helpful with all our questions. We will definitely come again😁

    This place has an amazing ambient and a beautiful soul!

    This place has an amazing ambient and a beautiful soul! It was like a hub for the coolest people from every country, looking for a peaceful, extremely relaxed vacation in a bit of wilderness, heartfelt conversations with alcohol next to the fire… it’s all in the package, and as a bonus you get one of the best teams - owners and staff members that are right there for you literally every minute. Thank you all guys- Benjamin, Annick, Cliffton, Melania, Elisabeth and others whose names we did not get to know;) You were all so amazing that even after two weeks it was a pity to leave. We look forward to meeting you all again! PS. A big thanks to Cliffton for recommending us Malaika, We enjoyed it to the fullest ;-)

    It’s a very quiet and enjoyable place and you can book lots of activities from there but overall there is not much going outside the hotels. The public beach doesn’t have any good restaurants or shops so you’re pretty much tied to your resort.

    The staff and the hotell facilties are the absulute best. The location is more quiet then other places, they do not have a beach like Kendwa but it you are just looking to relax a couple of days this does not matter. It is like on a little cliff, sooo nice!

    Kizimkazi is a village, although in fact there are 2 distinct and separate areas, with 2 beaches. The rest of the area is comprised of large, private self-contained resorts with their own private stairways. There is not much to explore, but boat owners offer big-game fishing and dolphin-watching. There are only 2 restaurants, although some of the private resorts offer their restaurants to the public; but at a price. Hardly any touting which is nice; 3 or 4 days is probably sufficient to see all there is to see.

    the location was heaven, very beautiful. the hotel food was extremely tasty, even the cheapest soup from the menu was a spectacle. 2 menues: a fixed one and a daily one: 10+ the breakfast, extremely tasty and abundant the fruits were out of this world, the juices from the bar, very very good. the staff and the owner very careful and available 10+ they changed our room from the open concept to a more conventional one. Staff very punctual, contrary to the ‘pole pole’ saying. Clean

    Beautiful laid-back vibe bar and restaurant area. Small number of rooms and accommodation. Service felt personal - staff are a true asset here and couldn't be more welcoming or helpful Room was on top floor of main building with balcony walkway in front giving view of the stunning garden setting and relaxed pool area. Taxis, trips, etc. can be booked easily from here. We arrived at 4am with taxi pickup arranged by the hotel from the airport.

    Very nice and calm place to stay. Salida Beach is located in a quiet corner of Kizimkazi, you can walk easily to the village if you need something. Tasty and fresh breakfast and also good food if you want to eat in the hotel restaurant. From the property you can go down directly to the ocean and during the low tide walk by the beach. People working there are very friendly and helpful. Thanks for nice service :) I fully recommend.

    We did enjoy the atmosphere, that staff who always was there to make sure that we had a great time. The food and the facilities where amazing. In total we spent 3 nights/days there, but should have been longer. Also, a big applouse to the staff who made sure that the beach where clean and tidy !:) On the day of leaving, the hotel arranged a massage to make sure we left with a good and relaxed mind. To be recommended!

    The location is absolutely beautiful. The restaurant served a delicious meal for us, I would recommend the fish with rice. The hotel dog was a cutey pie and friendly with adults and children and mainly minded his own business so it's OK if ur not a dog lover. Once you go out the hotel, the atmosphere does change, and u see more of the local life so be prepared for the massive change in scenery.

    We booked the hotel last minute at 2:00 a.m. and were still able to check in at 2:30 a.m. Omar, the owner, had no problem with that. After checking out, I realized I had left my power bank in the hotel, but I was already at another hotel. Omar went out of his way to bring me the power bank - so kind of him. Excellent accommodation!
