A terrace can be found at the lodge, along with a shared lounge. The Owner, Staff and Location most definitely make this place special! I am a single mother that travelled with my little 1 yr old and the staff were so great with her and she absolutely loved every second! I cannot wait to get back there next year with my little one!

With Matemwe Beach reachable in a few steps, Utupoa provides accommodation, a restaurant, free bikes, an outdoor swimming pool and a garden. Both WiFi and private parking are available at the lodge free of charge. Our family had a wonderful stay at Utupoa. After three nights, we really felt like it was our home away from home. The building is a wonder and itself worth the visit. Joyce and her team were so attentive, personable, and helpful and family-style meals were excellent. Utupoa sits directly on the beach and easily reachable by foot from the village of Matemwe. What a wonderful way for our family to get to know a corner of Zanzibar and to unwind from our adventures. Thank you, Joyce!

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. We visited the Zanbluu beach hotel as a family. The stay was great and unproblematic from check in to check out. The food was very tasty and varied. There were always good alternatives for vegetarians or people with gluten intolerance. the drinks, especially cocktails, were delicious. The room was always clean, the house keeping staff took good care of it. Every bed is equipped with a mosquito net, which the housekeeping staff diligently rolls up and rolls down every day. But we didn't saw not even one mosquito.The facility including the pool is also very nice. The gardeners and co try very hard to make sure everything looks great. We have been to many hotels but have rarely had such a good hotel staff that makes the greatest effort with every request. The consistently friendly and courteous staff alone is one reason why this certainly won't be our last visit. Many thanks to Nickson, Abdully, Charles, Samson and the many others who made our stay so special. Hakuna matata Zanbluu Beach !

With sea views, MONKEY MOUNTAIN LODGE is situated in Mtende and has a restaurant, luggage storage space, bar, garden and terrace. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge.

If you would like to discover the area, hiking, snorkelling and cycling are possible in the surroundings and MONKEY MOUNTAIN LODGE can arrange a car rental service. I have been to many accommodations in Zanzibar, but this one was truly the most special experience for me. The peace and positive vibes I experienced there brought back 5 years of my life. The house is in a wonderful location, surrounded by dense vegetation, so you will feel a healing peace there during your entire stay. The bungalows are spacious and perfectly clean, the beds are large and comfortable, the view is stunning. The food deserves a Michelin star, the offer is varied, the ingredients are fresh every day, the portions are very generous, certainly above the price. The owner and all the staff are very accommodating, kind and ready to dedicate themselves to each guest to make them feel at home. My special thanks go to the hostess Suzy , whose helpfulness and kindness go beyond the limit and who made our stay even more beautiful. If you are planning to visit Zanzibar, do not make the mistake of not visiting this special piece of paradise. Thank you all, even though we left, a piece of my heart remained there 💓
