Offering pool views, Safaya Luxury Villas - Adults only in Nungwi offers accommodation, free bikes, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a terrace and water sports facilities. Both WiFi and private parking are available at the lodge free of charge. My wife and I have traveled to many places around the world, but our stay at Safaya was truly one of a kind. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by incredibly helpful staff who went above and beyond to make our experience special. The food was excellent, offering great variety and quality that kept us looking forward to each meal. The villa we stayed in was spacious, immaculately clean, and beautifully designed. The outdoor areas were equally stunning—the beach, flowers, and the private little pool made for a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Safety was never a concern; we felt secure throughout our entire stay. Any requests we had were handled quickly and efficiently by the staff. Overall, it was a perfect stay, and we would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a unique and luxurious getaway.

Located in Michamvi, Shanuo Beach Bungalows provides free WiFi, and guests can enjoy a garden, a private beach area and a terrace.

There is a fully equipped private bathroom with shower and free toiletries.

Guests at the lodge can enjoy a continental breakfast. Thank you Gillian for having us. From the very first minute we felt like special guests. Upon arrival we're greeted with a smile and offered a glass of juice which was a nice touch. Room was super comfy, kids also enjoyed it. We were supposed to have a garden view bungalow, but to be honest it had the nicest ocean view of all :) Quality of the accommodation is very good. Bathroom is spacious. Each bungalow is cleaned on a daily basis. Breakfasts were very good. Each of the staff member was super friendly. Special thanks to our driver, Abdul, for taking care of us on each and every trip. If you want to go snorkeling - find Mudi at the beach towards the Baladin hotel. He's great as well. The Rock restaurant is OK but to be honest Baladin restaurant is so much better. All in all we enjoyed it very much and would definitely return there again. Thank you for having us!

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 beach resort exceeded all our expectations during our 7-night stay! The room was nothing short of luxurious, with every detail meticulously attended to. Waking up to the breathtaking view of the ocean from our bed was like a dream come true. Our stay was a gastronomic journey with every meal presenting a delightful surprise. From tantalizing seafood dishes to local vegetarian delights, the culinary experience at Zanbluu surpassed all expectations.

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 💓
