Located in Kiwengwa, a few steps from Kiwengwa Beach, Zanzibella Hotel & SPA provides accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a bar. I loved Zanzibella!! Such a beautifully designed hotel. The staff were so warm, welcoming, and helpful, and the hotel is the perfect size--small enough to feel quiet & intimate but big enough for a stroll. We spent 8 hours one day on the secluded beach. The meal portions were generous, and we loved the entertainment! I also had a great massage at the spa at very affordable rate. I would 100% recommend Zanzibella if you're looking for a truly relaxing experience vs. a party.

Located in Nungwi, a 2-minute walk from Nungwi Beach, African Bungalows has accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. We spent 9 magical nights at the place and it was amazing.african bungalows is more than a hotel ,it's a family place where the staff and the owners really take care of you.from the moment we booked we were kept in constant contact / communication with the owners about whether we required shuttle from and back to the airport which we accepted.they also advised about all the activities we could do.upon arrival we realized we were in heaven with the beautiful palm trees and stunning pool.we met the turkish owners who are brothers and Mai who checked us in easily.the hotel has its own restaurant and the food is divine.they also have nightly events and dinners. Really enjoyed the BBQ dinners.the rooms are big with fridge , showers , hair dryer for the ladies , daily shampoo and soaps.tea /coffee and drinking water is complimentary daily. We enjoyed the daily breakfasts as well.the place is literally a minute walk to the main nungwi beach and about 20 minutes walk to kendwa beach. There are many places to swim. It is very safe during the day and at night to walk about with many restaurants situated around it. Mai arranged one of the dolphin tours to mnemba Island which we enjoyed and came with us as well. The tumbatu Island is also close for snorkelling with boat.we also did the nakupenda , prison island and stone town tour. The nungwi turtle sanctuary is about a ten minute walk.we enjoyed swimming with the dolphins and turtles. This is a new hotel and it catered to our every needs. All the staff were friendly and we really enjoyed our stay here.we will definitely be back. We are missing the crystal clear turqoise waters now.also missing those 2 cute cats.

Located in Dikoni, a few steps from Uroa Public Beach, AVO Boutique Hotel provides accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness center and a garden. This cozy beachside resort offers a peaceful, serene escape with exceptional service. The owner, Loay, is incredibly hospitable and always available on WhatsApp to attend to any needs including your meal order, excursion plans etc. (I have yet to see this service at another resort). Rufina, the friendly and attentive waitress, made every meal enjoyable. Unlike other resorts, this one has fewer hawkers, allowing for a more relaxed experience. It’s the perfect spot for relaxation, with a personal touch that makes you feel right at home. Highly recommended!

I loved that it was so much fun to be inside the Hotel. Its literally 10m from the beach. There is a waitress called Mirriam, very thoughtful and served us well. The receptionist too, I forgot their names but Mirriam stood out for me.

Located in Nungwi, a 2-minute walk from Nungwi Beach, Canary Hotel & SPA provides accommodations with free bikes, free private parking, a fitness center and a garden. Really enjoyed the location and the vibes of Canary Hotel! I felt very welcomed by the staff and the food was fantastic, I enjoyed the pool quite a lot in my time and it's nice that all the rooms have a patio/balcony to sit and relax :) it's also steps away from the beach which is obviously a beautiful bonus
