With Nungwi Beach reachable in 1.3 km, Nungwi Roses provides accommodation, a restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a shared lounge. Complimentary WiFi is provided.

The lodge features a terrace. We had a great stay at Nungwi Roses, the hotel itself is wonderful on the eyes, very well decorated, a lot of plants all around to really give it a tropical feel. It’s right off the main road as well. Room was clean, had really cool design features, comfortable and a strong aircon. It felt like being in a quiet private villa (that’s pink). Owners are very nice, welcoming and helpful. Great for pictures by the pool as well!

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.
