The staff really want the extra mile in terms of organizing your activities for us, making sure that we feel comfortable and welcome. This is the best place on Zanzibar with magnificent views of the lush, tropical jungle overlooking baobab trees, and with amazing sounds of birds, monkeys, and other wildlife you will not find a better experience on Zanzibar

We had such a charming stay here. It's a very unique setting with just a few rooms overlooking Eden Rock, so you have almost exclusive access to the stunning Mtende beach in the mornings and evenings. The only sounds you hear are the sea, the birds and the local fishermen. Communication was good with David the host, staff were excellent and the highlight for me was how well the local cats and dogs are treated by the hotel. The rooms are gorgeous and beds super comfy - can't beat the views from the upper floors. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to those looking for a special setting (very much) off the beaten track. Food was good (especially the prawns). 2-3 nights recommended.

We were looking for an intimate, small hotel for a romantic stay away from other tourists. That's exactly what Clove Island is. It's a combination of peace, quiet and beautiful views. There is a hotel restaurant on site, where we had a chance to try some really delicious meals. The rooms have great design in a very original style. We would like to thank all the hotel staff for their warm welcome and help in our first, but not the last adventure in Zanzibar! We will certainly visit you again!

We arrived at Mama Ruth’s with a small group of friends, and from the very beginning, we were taken in by the peaceful surroundings. It’s a perfect place to relax and unwind. If you’re planning to explore other areas, you’ll definitely need to take a taxi, as it’s almost impossible to get anywhere on foot. That didn’t bother us at all – taxis were easy to find, and we were able to visit many beautiful spots nearby. The rooms are on the smaller side, especially if you’re traveling with large suitcases – there’s not a lot of space for luggage. However, everything else was truly wonderful. We added breakfast, lunch, and dinner to our stay, and every meal was delicious – freshly prepared and full of flavor. One of the best parts is that the villa is located right by the sea – there are no streets or obstacles between you and the water. Just step outside and you’re on the beach. The owners live on-site, are incredibly kind, and go out of their way to assist guests with anything they need. It’s a place full of warmth, hospitality, and genuine care – we would absolutely recommend staying here!

Featuring garden views, Miska Zanzibar features accommodation with balcony, around less than 1 km from Kizimkazi Mkunguni Beach. There is an in-house restaurant and free private parking.

*A Peaceful Paradise with Purpose* Palmera Zanzibar is a serene oasis just outside a charming village. I loved the peaceful garden, the spotless infinity pool, and the magical ocean views—especially at sunset. The food was creative, delicious, and all homemade (including fresh breads and cakes!). My room was beautifully decorated, with a comfy bed, sea view, and solar-powered AC—much appreciated in the heat! What makes Palmera truly special is its mission: it’s part of the More Than A Drop Hospitality College, training underprivileged girls for careers in hospitality. The staff and students were incredibly kind, attentive, and made me feel safe and welcome. Highly recommended—for both the experience and the amazing cause behind it.

Offering a garden and garden view, Msafiri House is situated in Kizimkazi, 500 metres from Kizimkazi Mkunguni Beach and 45 km from Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park.

The location is beautiful - it’s the last hotel on the road, there was almost nobody at the beach, and the hotel itself is also really nice (small houses with decent amount of space and privacy) The staff is extremely friendly, special shoutout to Kassim that made the great experience - from serving exceptional food and drinks to fully organising and guiding additional tours in reasonable prices and with great fun. Thank you Kassim!!!
