Zanzibella was a fantastic hotel. When you entered the gate you were greeted by a garden that was well-kept and with a fantastic flower display. The breakfast was incredibly good and after that breakfast you could get through the day with ease. The room was large and spacious and you had the toilet separate from the shower and washbasin. What a nice staff, always helpful and responsive, with such staff you make your guests feel comfortable. The room was always well-cleaned and the cleaning lady got to show her artistic ability every day when she made the bed. We really enjoyed our stay at Zanzibella!

Beautiful location. Property is new and neat. The staff are very hospitable. The hotel is very close to the beach, around 3 min walk. The breakfast was very varied and tasty (for each day of a week you will have different breakfast) it also includes fruits and eggs prepared on your choice. Wi-fi connection is stable, hairdryer, fridge are available. Nice area near the pool. You can enjoy drinks on the bar.

The staff was the best part of the hotel, everyone was very friendly and always helpful. Aida at the front desk was amazing throughout the whole stay, from check in to check out! Always friendly and ready to help, whatever issues or questions we've had, everything was resolved quickly. The facilities at the hotel are also very nice: two pools, tons of options to entertain yourselves - ping pong, game of pool, darts, etc. There's also a spa and a person who can help organize different tours and transfers on site.

The seafood in the restaurant was absolutely amazing — truly some of the best we’ve had. The staff was always smiling and ready to help, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The private city tour they arranged showed us some beautiful spots, and overall the hotel offered a very pleasant experience.

Beautiful beach with a decent selection of restaurants and bars. I loved the Fish Market restaurant and kept going back. Amazing blue sea, powder soft sand and great location for sunset. As a female solo traveller I didn’t like constant hassle from men dressed as Masai.

The place very unique like you are in a movie, refreshing to see how they lived in the 1800 and 1900, the environment is clean, the only thing I didn't like is that the hotel on the beach, released all the dirty water into the sea

Paje Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Zanzibar.

Paje Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Zanzibar. Long, wide, and naturally wild, with white sand, turquoise water, and endless space to breathe. The tides create constantly changing scenery, and the beach never feels crowded. Perfect for long walks, swimming at the right tide, and watching kitesurfers. Relaxed, authentic, and unspoiled — a place you want to return to.

Jambiani Beach is one of the most beautiful and authentic beaches in Zanzibar. Long stretches of soft white sand, calm turquoise waters, and a peaceful rhythm shaped by the tides create a place that feels untouched and timeless. Life here moves slowly — fishermen at dawn, women collecting seaweed, gentle evenings painted by the sunset. It is quiet, spacious, and deeply relaxing, yet full of character and soul. Perfect for long walks, swimming at high tide, and simply being present. Jambiani is not about crowds or noise — it is about beauty, simplicity, and harmony with nature. A beach that stays with you long after you leave.

Kiwengwa is an amazing place , only annoying this is the amount of African people that hassle you on the beach - men dressed as masi that are not from the the masi Maru tribe ( pretending they are ) and annoying you when you trying to enjoy a peaceful walk it is over bearing and no one wants that on their holiday - was most beaches in Zanzibar !!

Kendwa beach was definitely the best beach compared to Nungwi, especially the south part. Even in low tide it was easy to take a swim. Also the beach here is wider and feel less crowded. As on the complete stretch there were many people trying to sell you stuff but on the south part not so many ”permanent” sales people other than the ones having sheds. The Maasai roaming around are friendly but just say no with a smile and most will not be persistent in their effort to sell you something..

This is not a touristy location... it is off the beaten track... a village, by the sea, with an increasing number of resorts being added. I hope it does not lose its charm to the crowds. This is a quiet, special place.
