Zanzibella Hotel & SPA 5 stars

Hotel in Kiwengwa

Located in Kiwengwa, 41 km from Peace Memorial Museum, Zanzibella Hotel & SPA provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. I loved the beach and the surroundings lots of trees so atleast that brought a lot of fresh air and wasn’t very humid. Loved the good food only wish they had more traditional Swahili food like ugali otherwise it was good.

Featuring a private beach area, a year-round outdoor pool and free Wi-Fi, Mahali Zanzibar is set in Paje, Zanzibar. The hotel features a sun terrace and views of the sea. We loved our stay at Mahali. The setting is absolutely stunning with the beach on your doorstep. Our room was very spacious and bright and the view from our balcony out onto the sea was stunning. The staff were so friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The breakfast and lunch food were very good with a great choice. The hotel is in walking distance to all restaurants. The whole place brings an aura of calm which allowed us to have a very relaxing stay.

Located in Matemwe, a few steps from Matemwe Beach, Infinity Beach Boutique Hotel & SPA provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a private beach area. I recently had the pleasure of staying at the stunning Infinity Boutique Hotel in Matemwe, Zanzibar, with my best friends, and I can't say enough wonderful things about this incredible new property. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by its beauty and charm. The hotel itself is a testament to impeccable design and attention to detail, all thanks to the owner, Maggie, who is truly top-tier in hospitality.

Sensations Eco-Chic Hotel 5 stars

Hotel in Pwani Mchangani Mdogo

Facing the beachfront, Sensations Eco-Chic Hotel offers 5-star accommodation in Pwani Mchangani Mdogo and features an outdoor swimming pool, garden and private beach area. We re-located to this hotel from another in the area as we were looking for a more private / luxurious experience for our honeymoon. Given the recent age of the hotel and lack of review online we were admittedly a bit hesitant but were immediately put at ease upon arrival, where we were warmly greeted, had our feet washed / massaged and were introduced to our personal butler ! The service is simply unparalleled, the level of care and attention to detail is unlike anything we had previously experienced. The limited number of rooms certainly helps with this as often times it felt like there was more staff than guests. The room was immaculate, modern and spacious (we booked the deluxe room). There is also a WiFi extender inside the room providing the fastest internet we encountered on the trip. The food was top notch, with plenty of variety each day from an a la carte menu. There is also a tepynaki restaurant available for an additional fee.
