A Slice of Paradise at Zanzibella Hotel We had the most wonderful stay at Zanzibella Hotel and can’t recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and genuine kindness. A special shoutout to Eggla, Ramadan, Josef, Richard and Maureen—along with the rest of the amazing staff—who truly made our days unforgettable with their friendliness and care. Our room was perfect: spacious, clean and the bed—massive and incredibly comfortable. We slept like babies every night. The location is a dream. Right on the beach, in a peaceful and calm setting. The garden is breathtaking, full of colorful flowers and birds singing in the trees—it truly felt like a little paradise. The hotel restaurant was another highlight. Every dish we tried was delicious, but we especially loved the daily “catch of the day” featuring different fresh fish, and the grilled octopus was just mouthwatering. Zanzibella has stolen our hearts, and we already hope to return soon!

The hotel is beautifully located, cozy, intimate - for those who like their peace and quiet, not a mass-tourist approach, like many other hotels in Zanzibar. It's definitely a place with a soul and one-of-a-kind. :) Laura, the owner, is very helpful and provided us with a lot of recommendations on what to see and do in Zanzibar. The breakfast in the restaurant was plenty - fresh fruit, local donuts, freshly squeezed juice, great coffee, tea, plus menu a la carte - I recommend avocado toast, also pancakes were delicious, sausages, eggs... You name it. Every day we tried something different :) Generally, the restaurant and food in Poa Poa have always been totally delicious!! We ate lunch and dinner there (accommodation includes just breakfast) because the menu is rich, and they have an excellent chef that we've met, compliments :) As for their food quality and menu, the price is very, very good, cheap even. We've tried other restaurants in Kiwengwa and Poa Poa has been our number one choice. Plus we've always been treated so nicely (great service). Generally, the staff is very nice and helpful, especially waiters. We really enjoyed the live music evening :))) Sadly, we've managed to see just one (but was so much fun! Also special Swahili food, so you could really get the feel of Zanzibar!), but apparently they do live music twice a week (we've been there for just 3 days). You can also get a massage in the hotel, and they offer different kinds. Generally, we've been really happy with the place and would recommend it for people looking for an intimate romantic getaway or a family holiday with great food, location, clean beach, and ocean views. Authentic place!

Marafiki Bungalows

Hotel in Kiwengwa

Marafiki Bungalows is located on the beach in Kiwengwa,overlooking the ocean.Zanzibar International Airport is a 1 hour drive away.

"Where travelers meet their ultimate experience" What I, my family, and friends loved the most about Marafiki was the hospitality. It was absolutely more than what we expected. The establishment is located right on the beachfront with an incredible view as you gaze from the bar over the pool with a cocktail in your hand. The rooms were clean and stylish, decorated with island-style fixtures,- charming and refreshing. At night you can hear the lemurs and if you are lucky even spot one. Many days were spent beside the pool with music softly in the background, you ooze into your beach chair as the sun gently strokes over your skin. It's monsoon season during the month of April and some would say not the best season to visit, but I disagree. It's actually the best time with not many tourists and you experience more scenery, culture, and food. Marafiki Bungalows provides a great setup,- catering for couples, friends, and families. With a menu for every day and an exciting lineup with live music and entertainment, we had no choice, but to stay in and be part of the fun. We had our children with us, and they couldn't get enough of the pool( baby pool too), and also the toys Marafiki provides that helped a lot. The resort also provides kayak boats, life jackets, and water shoes for exploring alongside the beach. My brother-in-law proposed in the spa which overlooks the ocean with small sea shells that hang from the arch, and to top things off, -we had our friend's wedding at Marafiki! Lanterns, shells, and little stones create a pathway to the altar. Just imagine it...These special events were made all possible by the incredible staff, Ester, Michal, and Justina. And let's not forget the rest of the team. The kitchen, the gardeners that cheerfully greet you every morning" Jambo!" The waiters and a special thank you to Sunshine- Who keeps smiling. A huge thank you to everyone at Marafiki Bungalows! Asante sana. May the magic continues!

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful. The rooms are exceptionally spacious offering plenty of comfort and freedom to relax.

If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with space, comfort, and unforgettable views, this is the perfect choice.

Lovely beach on the Indian Ocean.

Lovely beach on the Indian Ocean. Lots of restaurants, bars and snack shops from higher end and usual fare to local pubs and dining. Beautiful views, jet ski, kite surfing and dhow or outrigger hires for snorkeling. beautiful clear water and you can walk the sandbars at low tide or swim there at high tide. An hour or so from Stone Town hustle and bustle, but still close enough for a day excursion.

The beach is arguably one of the best on the island—long, swimmable, and vibrant. While it has more energy and amenities than a secluded spot, we still found it peaceful and relaxing, especially during the mornings. It's the perfect base for anyone who wants both stunning beach life and easy access to restaurants and activities.

Kiwengwa is a perfect place to spend time with the family. Exquisit nature, kind people and the best food. Boat trips, beach activities, village strolls, getting to know the culture of local people who are very knowlegeable about the natural agriculture and extreemly kind and nice. We loved every minute of our stay at Kiwengwa.

I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water. The sand was so soft and almost white. I didn't like the hassle on the beach though. It was easier to stay at the hotel to avoid it. But that's not why you visit another country!

They don’t smile at all. I’ve never seen that in any hotel here in Zanzibar. Food took 1h to come during lunch & dinner. I wasn’t feeling well to grab the breakfast, so my wife took me 2 croissants from there to bring to the room. And they started to fight with her because food cannot go out. Have you ever seen this ? During our checkout, the belarussian girl didn’t say us thank you for staying with us. I don’t advice to stay there ! There’s much better places to stay.

I think it is the first time that I give a hotel 10/10 and full in every category. This little boutique beach hotel is a hidden paradise in Kiwenga on the east coast of Sansibar. The owners are very friendly, make everything possible and created their own little home. There are only a few rooms, so it is very exclusive. Breakfast was a selection of different elements and it was delicious. So, if you want to leave the stress behind and simply relax: go for Boho Boutique.

Almost private pool, there are just 2 or 3 rooms and you get to have a pool and a beautiful garden in which you can chill and enjoy nature. The restaurant offers one of the most genuine and tasty dishes we had in Zanzibar and everything is fresh (the owner gets the fish and the lobsters straight from the fisherman at the beach!). The rooms are spacious and clean and the staff is so friendly and kind.
