Set in Dikoni, less than 1 km from Uroa Public Beach, Ycona Eco-Luxury Resort, Zanzibar offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. 37 km from Peace Memorial Museum and 17 km from Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, the property features a private beach area, as well as a bar. The resort features a hot tub, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. The Best Hotel in Zanzibar! We only stayed for one night but wished we had booked it for our entire stay in Zanzibar. From the moment we arrived, the welcome was incredible. My husband had been bitten by a monkey at another hotel, and the staff immediately called their in-house doctor, ensuring he received the best care. Their kindness and attentiveness truly stood out. The entire team makes you feel right at home, and the hospitality is unmatched. The resort itself is stunning, the food is exceptional, and every detail is thoughtfully taken care of. We’re so sad to leave this amazing place and can’t wait to return!

Located in Jambiani and only 200 metres from Paje Beach, Baobab Bungalows provides accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. With pool views, this accommodation features a balcony and a swimming pool. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. Baobab Bungalows in Jambiani is a true gem! Located at the beginning of Jambiani village, it’s just a short 4-minute walk to the beach and conveniently close to Paje. Despite its proximity to the main road, the bungalows are far enough to ensure a peaceful stay without any noise disturbance. The property offers cozy bungalows and spacious apartments, all well-equipped with a kitchen and necessary amenities. Our large bed was incredibly comfortable, and we had no issues with the WiFi, fan, or AC. Every bed also comes with a perfectly suitable mosquito net, ensuring a good night's sleep. One of the standout features of our stay was the exceptional staff, especially Barbara. She is Dutch, with excellent communication skills and a proactive attitude. Barbara was always willing to help, offering great tips on places to visit and ensuring any problem we faced was promptly resolved. Originally, we planned to stay for just two days, but the relaxing and calm atmosphere made us extend our stay for a week. This place quickly became our number one choice in the Paje/Jambiani area. The property also features a beautifully maintained pool, which is always clean and inviting. Additionally, we appreciated the presence of three lovely dogs on the property. They were not intrusive at all; rather, they were friendly and happy to receive some petting from guests. Thank you, Baobab Bungalows, for an unforgettable stay!

Great water pressure (which is not always the case in the island). Delicious breakfast (I loved the avocado toasts). Only 1 minute away from the beach with nice bars / restaurants around. Also a lot of delicious local restaurants in the village only 10 minutes away by walk. The staff is really friendly and welcoming and helpful. I highly recommend this gem ❤️ (On the pictures: Room with pool view / the bar on the beach near the hotel)
