4 star hotels in Mjini Magharibi Region

View over Indian Ocean was magnificent, but no beach was disappointing.

The value and experience per price paid is unmatched. Our room as facing the ocean. We were sleeping with the sound of waves and it was fantastic. In one of the evenings the electricity was cutting off - the restaurant had us placed on the artificial beach, with live music, eating under the stars. I think that the hotel can do better buy giving written offers for the spa to the groups. I really...

I went with my family of 12 people to Azao Resort, the hotel was abserloutly beautiful, clean, and well maintained. The hotel had a lot of entertainment stuff, and the pools are huge. The staff was abserloutly amazing - so friendly , so helpful and very polite. The food (from breakfast, lunch & dinner) was so tasty, and food was plentiful. They even had a barbeque evening over looking the beach...

Location is at the more quiet part of Zanzibar. We didn't stay here, we just came for dinner. Good was good, service was ok, ambience was ok. We enjoyed our dinner. Few veg options but they were really good. Paid with a card at reception, subject to the extra 3% I assume to cover their bank charges. The menu is in dollars

Honestly the most amazing and beautiful resort. Everything was perfect. The room.. Staff.. Food and resort were beyond our expectations. Staff were extremely friendly and efficient. I would very highly recommend this resort to anyone. Peaceful and views to die for. Definitely go again They made my birthday incredible with a home made cake.. So much extra care

Azao is a lovely resort and great place to relax. The rooms were lovely, spacious and comfortable. The bathrooms were also quite spacious but the cleanliness needs some attention (nothing major) This resort does not have any swimming beach access, the beach that you can access is hard clay like sand with a very low tide some days and not suitable for average beach use The pool is super deep with...

Had an amazing stay at Nest Style Resort. Truly one for the books! 🌴🙌🏽 The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming at all times. Special shoutout to Salu for always making sure everything was perfect and that we were well taken care of. Made unforgettable memories and met some wonderful people. Ramadan, Juma, Joyce, and many more who made the experience even more special. I’ll definitely be...

We didn’t stay there but went for lunch twice! We liked that it had a good range of food options, both local and international, good prices and friendly service. The mango juice is very good!

Beautiful resort, a piece of paradise❤️ thank you for making our holiday so memorable. Had the best time with our kids, Fun in the sun, swimming all day long in the pool and beach…. Endless cocktails and delicious food. Loved everything especially our ocean terrace balcony family suite. So beautiful and romantic. Loved the dhow boats was such an awesome experience. Thank you to every employee who was...

I highly recommend the hotel to people that are looking for a bit of peace and quiet time. Who appreciate the peaceful and dreamy atmosphere. And great dinners and lovely coffee in the morning🙂 The hotel staff is supportive and helpful. Ocean is beautiful in every time of the day. I spent lovely 10 days there and would definitely go back

Highly recommended!! Beautiful hotel with clean facilities, great staff and a stunning location right by the sea. Special thanks to Mario, the hotel director, for his kindness and for helping us with a flight change issue. Made us feel at home.

Was really good and great service and very quiet and respectful to everyone. But … suddenly the big family came to celebrate maybe around 20 people and was feeling like we were in someone’s party who rented all hotel . Probably they were family of the owner or manager but it was very disrespectful to other visitors 😡 they were very loud and annoying ( not kids ) and they ate on the swimming pool just...

Pizzas were amazing, pool was tricky, I almost drawn, yet saved and enjoyed alot. Very nice and thoughful, purely the touch of zanzibar.

Kenna Beach Resort offers an amazing experience from start to finish. The location right on the beach is perfect, and the atmosphere is calm and relaxing. Rooms are clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the food is consistently fresh and flavorful. Great value for the quality provided. The play area is well-maintained and kid-friendly, and overall cleanliness throughout the resort is impressive. The...

It's a excellent experience with my friends Staff is good and friendly Food is also awesome I recommend to enjoy your vacation

If you want to spend quality time this is a very good option. You can come with your friends and family , staff are very cooperative

Kena Resort is a beautifully maintained, peaceful, and welcoming place that offers exceptional comfort and outstanding hospitality.

Kena beach hotel is excellent, The staff is very friendly and professional The rooms are very clean I also enjoyed the faod and their fresh fruits I can’t forget that they surprised me with a birthday cake on my birthday I will definitely go back The seven days I stayed there were awesome

A wonderful place, very cozy and in a great location. A fantastic atmosphere and a wonderful team who made my stay unforgettable. A special plus goes to the resident cats who made our evenings on the terrace even more enjoyable. Asante sana :)

I’dve rated this place 5/5 if it wasn’t for the terrible sound of a constant PNEUMATIC HAMMER, from a next door construction, that starts at 8:35-45 am (everyday! but Sunday) and finished after 3pm (we always left at 3 pm to the beach so I’m not sure of the exact hour). It is extremely inconvenient because it wakes you up in the morning and then you can’t peacefully spend your time by the pool when...

it was a nice place especially the bar and restaurants where we had fun and met new local friends.Big screen for football games darts and pool table kept connecting us and making new memories. In Nungwi Baobao visit the place to prove me wrong

Beautiful little place to stay with ever-present owners. Lovely breakfasts, smoothies, and dinners. Staff is incredibly friendly, happy, and there. Will be back!

It's an amazing place!! The greenery, the homey-like feel and environment. So, serene!! Best place to rewind and relax. The owners, Albert and Britta are so welcoming, kind and very involved with the running of the place. We super enjoyed our stay and have recommended to all our friends and family!

The service is friendly and nice. The hotel rooms are clean and reasonable (corresponding to the description). You can walk to the beach and the center of the village in 8-9 minutes, but the road is very dusty and broken.

I spent the last two weeks at the Kivuli Beach Resort and I already miss the incredibly beautiful time I had there. I was welcomed like a friend and felt very much at home. The resort has a very natural feel; the old trees have been preserved, providing shade, and the sound of the wind blowing through the branches creates a soothing rustle.  The rooms are spacious and kept very clean, and the bathroom...

What a wonderful experience! Everything was perfect, from the magnificent private villa to the butler and his team. We truly enjoyed the tranquility, the exquisite breakfast with the sea view, and the kindness of the entire crew.

We stayed in the 2 bedroom family villa. Such a comfortable and private stay. Our private butler (Kayphas) was always available to supported our every request with precision. The villa is huge with full kitchen, private pool and the most amazing outside shower in each bedroom.

This property was absolutely magical. If you’re looking for a low key off the grid vibe, this is the place. There’s no Wi-Fi in the room but it’s available in the common area overlooking the beach. However, the level of privacy you’ll receive in your individual room is worth it.

Quieter and less expensive than others in the area but with easy access to other properties down the beach for food, etc. Able to book us transportation to other activities on request.

We stayed here for month in June and July and had the most wonderful time. The rooms are really large with a very big comfortable bed- all the furnishings are high quality. There is a safe, fridge and tea making facilities. The bathrooms are big and everything works really well. Due to some reviews suggesting there aren't safe's we didn't bring too much cash, which was challenging, or laptops- this...

Sunsets, pole pole, perfect beach, chill vibes, fresh food from the trees and the sea. Everything you need or want to be happy is right in front of you here. Look no further. Grab a kayak and spend the day in the mangroves. Explore the village, people here are friendly and chill. Low tide? Go on a walk or swim in the pool. High tide? Swim and kayak. Happy hour for sunset and drinks. It’s really easy...

The view, the service and the location are absolutely exquisite. The staff was great, from the start , to the end and a kind of people you will miss after you leave. The absolutely great manager helped us very well, after our bagage was stuck at the airport, everything went fine, thanks to her. She called at the airport and managed the transport of our stuff to our location wich went very well. The...

We are staying in Paje and came here to watch the sunset and discovered this amazing resort right on the beach so we decided to have diner and stay for the night and enjoy all the facilities. All the staff is so nice they even went out in the village to get us some personal items since we didn’t plan to stay. The restaurant, the bar and the pool are right in front of the beach. Rooms are very clean...

Excellent service and food. Everything is at the resort. Really good arragement during christmas eve with a full buffé.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Great stay!** Wonderful hotel with friendly staff, clean rooms and a relaxing atmosphere. Everything was well organized and we felt very comfortable throughout our stay. Would happily come back!

It’s a home away from home so welcoming and friendly, staff are so welcoming and humble, rooms top notch clean and comfortable, food and drinks

Good breakfast, excellent emplacement and good food

Location is by the sea. Facilities and services are average.

Even the room with no sea view from the balcony (see video) was sold as a sea view room; the check-out time was set before 10 am, which was unheard of; there were a lot of complaints...

Very ok, I will carry your luggage for you throughout the trip

The price/performance ratio is good for an all-inclusive hotel in Zanzibar. The beach outside the hotel is very beautiful. The sunset is super beautiful. I spent three nights happily.

If you like the local style, this hotel is the best among the hotels and is highly recommended. Because it is right by the sea, there will be crows as your companions during the open breakfast. If you are afraid, just sit under the eaves!

The place is clean and great staff however the food at the restaurant is not nice

The hotel is located almost 12 mins from the beach by walking,it has a nice pool surronded by garden. The room is spacious but lacks basic amenities like shower gel or shampoo. The breakfast is horrible, very poor, no varities and not eatable. The owner is a lovely guy though

Well keeped spacious rooms. Wii-Fi service is unreliable.

Fairly decent hotel rooms were bog with balcony. Aircon and pool onsite. Not far from the beach. Breakfast was ok. Although meals at the hotel seem expensive for the area. $7 for chips yet elsewhere wers charging $3-4 for chips.

Affordable hotel with good breakfast options.Loved the croissants .

Arrived at the hotel to find there was no running water or air conditioning which is understandable given Zanzibars intermittent electricity - particularly given it was new years. Except service was terrible - had to ask several times for water when our room was delayed. Front staff never once smiled or interacted at us, scoffed at our requests for transportation booking. Showers didn’t get hot, poor...

This is Maria, from Spain! I recently stayed at this hotel and it was an absolutely flawless experience from start to finish. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with such warmth and kindness by the guys on the reception (Maxymilian and Shafi). The facilities were perfect, and I particularly appreciated there's no television in the room! It made the stay so much more peaceful and allowed for...

Aluna Paje is very good, good food, beautiful location, very kind staff. We will definitely be back!

This little hotel is a gem in Paje. It's super clean, beautifully decorated, has a breakfast area overlooking the pool, fresh juices in the morning, and very friendly staff. 100% recommended. The only downside is that the Sansibar authorities don't do anything to keep the streets clean; there's dirt everywhere, which detracts a bit from the magic of the place.

Our stay at Aluna was very relaxing and beautiful! from the moment we walked into the reception Khalil was attentive to me and my partner and made us feel very welcome. The pool area is really nice also, we didn’t leave the hotel so much because we enjoyed the relaxation so much. The room was very clean and put together also. The only thing I would say is the bed was very loud and a tad uncomfortable...

The atmosphere was amazing. It was a relaxing experience. Good cleanliness overall. Very cozy rooms. Easy to find my way to the hotel. The staff was very respectful and fun. There was no noise. I got my money's worth. The staff were very helpful in whatever I needed. Check in and check out was okay.

Very beautiful. Very friendly staff. Very nice area, almost central in Paje. Close to many restaurants and shops. Great amenities. Clean rooms.

We recently celebrated our anniversary at Zanzi Resort, and the experience exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel genuinely welcome and well taken care of. We stayed in an ocean front villa with a private pool, which offered excellent privacy and seclusion—something we particularly appreciated as a Muslim couple. The setting allowed us to fully relax...

I stayed for three nights as a solo traveler in one of the garden suites. Overall, I think this is an excellent resort that is affordable, clean, with a gorgeous beach very friendly staff I did not do full board but was able to order off the lunch menu for dinner and overall the food was good. I saw snakes, huge centipedes, lots of different species of fish, hermit crabs bush babies, and other types...

I have been in many resorts around the world, but the best one, so far is Zanzi Resort in Zanzibar. Excellent is the word for everything in this amazing resort: exceptional staff, cleanliness, great location, delicious food, comfortable rooms. We were greeted by the Assistant General Manager, Mr.Elias Soka, a very professional and competent manager. His hospitality management skills and his whole...

The food was incredible and the service was amazing. Everyone took the time to learn our names and even helped us expand our Swahili vocabulary. The chef changed the dinner menu every night, which made every meal feel special. They offer many add ons to enhance your trip as well and many in-house activities organised for you.

Secluded confortable with private pool villas in tropical gardens on the sea . Perfect for a relaxed chill holidays inn Zanzibar !

Everything about this hotel is 5*!! The property is extremely well maintained! The food was absolutely delicious, every single member of staff was so lovely, attentive and welcoming! We sat out on the jetty every day to view sunset - breathtaking views and we also managed to see some dolphins! Thank you for looking after us so well and giving our family some wonderful memories :)

My husband and I have travelled extensively and stayed in lots of different hotels, but The Sands has to be among the loveliest that we have encountered. Situated right on the edge of a long pristine white beach (with its own private beach) on the turquoise waters of the Indian ocean, the setting could not be more idyllic. The accommodation is extremely spacious (the villa that we stayed in was over...

With a transfer of just over an hour from the airport the location was perfect for us. Overlooking the Indian Ocean the sun rise is beautiful. The bungalows are huge, with large seating area, kitchen, walk in wardrobe, bathroom with in and outside showers. We decided to go half board to cut back on cost which did suit us overall. The rooms are spotless cleaned in the morning generally fresh towels...

for the price charged the stay was considered okay as far as F&B was concerned. Food menu was fixed and basic with no nothing remarkable for both breakfast and dinner. rooms were decent and resort was nice otherwise. staff were also polite but language understanding needs more training.

We have just finished our journey at The Sand and we already have nostalgia, an amazing location, few people, super "pampered" by a truly professional staff, a place for those looking for peace and relaxation, with unique cuisine, immersed in palm trees with a very white beach. The rooms are comfortable and are cleaned twice a day! Highly recommended place, we will definitely be back. Don't miss the...

This IS Paradise Paradise on Earth does Exist at the The Sands Beach Resort on Dongwe Beach...I know from experience as me and my partner just returned as guests of this amazing resort hotel for 8 glorious nights and 9 amazing days. We began each day at 7 am: sipping on fresh brewed African coffee and watching the sunrise from our villa balcony viewing amongst one of the most dramatically beautiful...

we truly enjoyed our stay here, Shafi and the hotel team were very helpful and privided an excellent service. We would definitely recommend.

Exemplary beauty. Tranquility at best. Lovely beachfront, sugar white sand. Delicious food and pleasant staff. Highly recommend this place.

Hakuna Majiwe is a safe, clean, and well-maintained location, offering a pleasant living environment. It is advisable to prepare a well-structured budget, as there may be unexpected costs, such as the Zanzibar government tourism taxes. While prices are somewhat higher than average, which is typical for similar destinations, the quality of services provided is excellent and meets expectations.

After a week of safari in mainland, we were dleighted to rest in such a great place. The team had been very welcoming and always available. The Chef has developped a tasty menu - always fresh products for good value. Our kids were taught how to play local games while we had a relaxing time enjoying Julia’s massage or discussing with the team. We all enjoyed walking along the peaceful and beautiful...

Our stay at Hakuna Majiwe was amazing. The location is great, close to Paje center, yet far enough to have a quiet time, surounded by beautiful nature. The crown jewel of this hotel are it`s employees. They made sure that we had everything we needed and they made us fall in love with the kindness of swahili people. Chef Chedrak and David`s food was amazing and they made sure that we love the dishes...

A little house on a very white beach and lots of good food , we were very satisfied especially for the beautiful excursions of Raoul , the sound of the sea , no windows, just the Africa we were looking for,clean room with mosquito nets every day towels, perfett!!! A dream

Hors Piste arranged for our extended family to stay at Jambiani Villas at the end of our safari--what a great plan! Our beachfront villa had a pool, was immaculately clean, and was well maintained with air conditioned bed rooms. The staff served with efficient kindness, and the food was wonderful. The younger members of our family found fun excursions from beach front vendors. One of our two top favorites...

Quiet, Clean and Very Spacious.

The property was exactly as described, on the beach, clean, peaceful and with amazing staff. We were greeted by Temayani who looked after us from when we arrived ( early) to getting our room ready as soon as possible and then arranging a generous late check out. Other staff included Shemsha, Grace and Guidion who made the whole vacation beyond amazing. Thank you so much

Jambiani villa ( Kusini) is a beautiful 3 bed villa on the jambiani beach , which is situtated on the southeren side of Zanzibar , its calm and oeacful there ideal for families .

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was phenomenal and the shows spectacular. It was a very pleasant experience and I would definitely recommend Jambiani Villas to all.

Quality besed place for peace. Great peaceful clean basec quality based place with customer focus people actiocal location for away from noise and directly to the ocean. Lovely people good technical standard that's quite important. Healthy food and safety environment

Smiles was lovely. Comfortable rooms, ok breakfast, very nice dinners. Always fishing boats to watch when the tide is in. Great swimming beach when the tide was coming and going. I would recommend this small non alcoholic Beach Hotel. Lots of shopping and restaurants just outside their gate. Security was very good.

Very nice hotel, staff is super friendly and sunset view is fantastic

Great place to stay for a holiday! - Nice and clean room with an amazing view - Friendly staff - Great housekeeping - Perfect location - Breakfast is good, fresh fruit/juice, omelette and all kinds of other warm and cold options. Would definitely recommend to visit.

My experience was excellent; the hotel staff were very friendly and attentive to anything we needed. The food was very good.

Great value for money! Fantastic 3 star hotel in Nungwi! Great location in a quiet part of Nungwi. Private beach area with no salesmen. BEAUTIFUL outdoor area! Very kind employees from Reception to Spa, cleaning and Restaurant. Rooms are spacious with sufficient room for 3 big single/queen beds and luggage without it feeling crammed. Simple interior but we were only in the room for sleeping and it...

Staff was attentive, friendly and polite , love the cleanliness of the room.

Good hotel with verry friendly staff! Especially Omar, iddi, Happyniss, Simo! Thank you for everything

It was a nice and quiet hotel, exactly what we needed for our first few days on Zanzibar. Staff were good and food was lovely.

A very good hotel. The food was not extraordinary, but it was good, the rooms were clean, close to the beach, I recommend this hotel, we liked it, it is very quiet, perfect for relaxation. The water in the pool is clean. There are a few locals on the beach, they don't bother.

My wife and I had an exceptional stay at AHG Dream's Bay Boutique Hotel, and we are delighted to share our wonderful experience. The hotel is located about an hour's drive from the airport, and while the journey may seem long, it is absolutely worth it. This adults-only boutique hotel is intimate, with a limited number of rooms arranged around a central pool area, offering a peaceful and private atmosphere...

“Great stay! The service was excellent, and the manager Daniele was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious (vegetarian options) and of high quality, with prices that offered great value. Highly recommend for a comfortable and enjoyable experience!”

This cozy smaller hotel surprised me with phenomenal staff and amazing cuisine. My friends and I had a great time. Special thanks to Victoria Paolo, Malidi, Rose Abel, Lydia, Amiri, Sarah Peter, from the heart thank you Paul, Daniela, Marsy, Ivet

Traditional hotel right in centre of town. Great location and charming roof top dining area. Comfortable cool and highly recommended.

The shower could use updating and amenities in the bedrooms (bar soap, face tissues)

It was in line with expectations. The hotel is in a good location, but it is not convenient to drive in. You need to walk a stone road to get in. The room space is a bit cramped. Because of the spacing between old buildings, the windows are basically directly next to the building opposite. I booked late and there were no other room types to choose from. I was mentally prepared in advance. There is...

The hotel is in Stone Town, close to the road outside. The breakfast is good. The restaurant is on the rooftop with a nice view of the sea. The room is clean and sanitary. It is very close to the beach and very convenient. There is also a night market nearby, but it is not recommended as it will cheat tourists. Overall, it is recommended.

Realy LOVE this hotel. Super location, beautiful old building with great views from the rooftop restaurant. comfy big rooms, nice pool, and superfriendly en helpful staff. Would defenitely come back if I have the chance.

It's good, but there is no parking space. It cost 20 dollars to park on the street.

Xanadu, saved our first vacation to Zanzibar. We had booked 11 nights elsewhere on the Island and checked out after 7 (see Mora report). Xanadu was a completely different experience and one which we hope to repeat. The arrival sets the scene, a broken road leads to a hidden gate house, then slightly beyond a mysterious gate opens to a memorable welcome from Leigh (GM) and Jessica (Private Butler)....

We had the most beautiful stay at this stunning, hidden gem in Zanzibar. The photos do not do this resort justice; it's serene, extremely private and ultra luxurious with your every need met by your own personal and a very dedicated staff that appear to always be available. Each villa has an oversized luxurious bedroom with either an upstairs or downstairs indoor/outdoor living room and plunge pool...

We have just returned from an amazing stay at Xanadu villas where we were lucky enough to stay in the presidential villa. The staff are incredible nothing is too much trouble and you are always greeted with a smile. The food was exceptional with a different menu every day. Your meals could be taken at your villa or different locations around the resort all secluded and private. We had very few times...

We had an amazing stay this September with friends. The villas were beautiful, spacious, and perfectly designed for comfort and relaxation. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. The views, especially at sunset, were breathtaking, and the peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect escape. Everything about our stay felt effortless and memorable, we can’t wait to come back!

Xanadu delivers the fairytale. The design, setting, food, and service were truly exceptional, and the experience far exceeded our expectations. We had a fantastic family holiday filled with unforgettable moments, and we simply cannot wait to come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a magical escape in Zanzibar!

Xanadu in Zanzibar is pure paradise! The staff are warm and attentive, the food is exceptional, and the entire experience feels magical from start to finish. Highly recommended!

Here we go. This is Africa and this is an African hotel. Not everything is going to be perfect…..but this is our third time in Zanzibar and it is a great place to relax. Check in was odd as couldn’t find our booking but the hotel Director made light of it an we had breakfast and then to our rooms and the beach. Beach has sellers on it that can be annoying but firm for two days and that stopped any...

We stayed at this hotel during the first week of October. The hotel is older, but nicely furnished in the local style and very clean. All the staff are helpful and accommodating. We booked all-inclusive through a travel agency. There was a large selection of food for everyone, from meat, vegetables, and soup to fruit and desserts... I consider it a major shortcoming that bottled water was only available...

As a solo traveller, I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect retreat. The peaceful surroundings, gentle ocean breeze, and quiet beaches made it an ideal place to relax. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, always making sure I felt comfortable without being intrusive. I’m already dreaming of my next visit.

This might not be a 5 star establishment but one gets a 5 star value for money. The rooms are spotless clean. The staff and I mean all the staff whether at the reception, restaurant, bar, pool, beach, spa, housekeeping or maintenance are very polite, friendly, cheerful and very helpful. The food is freshly prepared and delicious. The animation team are great with their ideas. I can only highly recommend...

Relaxed environment and smiling faces! Good choice of food with many vegetarian options (yummy pastries). Special thanks to Daniele, the hotel manager, always kind and helpful.He knows how to create a great customer experience! We also appreciated the entertainment (acrobatic shows) See you again soon! Only negative point the road to get to the 'hotel should be paved.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Stay at Isla Bonita Zanzibar Beach Resort 🌴 I had one of the best stays ever at Isla Bonita Zanzibar in the peaceful village of Matemwe on Zanzibar’s northeastern coast. The beachfront location offers stunning white sand and crystal-clear water – absolute paradise (). From day one, I felt right at home thanks to the kindness and professionalism of General Manager Mostafa,...

I had a wonderful experience during my stay at the hotel. The management was outstanding, and the cleanliness of the entire place was truly impressive. The team was incredibly helpful and welcoming throughout my visit. A special thanks to Mr. Metwally, the owner, for his exceptional hospitality and kindness. I’m definitely looking forward to coming back again very soon

Fantastic stay with excellent staff. The hotel offers an amazing view and ample privacy on the beach. The manager, Moustafa, is very friendly and helpful. He has extensive experience managing 5-star hotels in Dubai and Egypt. He is very kind; he took me along to Stone Town when he was shopping and helped me get all the spices I needed. The food was excellent, especially the coconut curry pasta. I...

Small room with a bathroom of 1m2. The shower hangs above the toilet. Renovation is needed, especially since the power goes out a lot, the water pressure drops and the room doors cannot be locked. The employees seem friendly, but they are mainly concerned with blaming others.

Beautiful and quiet place. The staff was very personal and friendly, and they all made us feel welcome. Highly recommended!

Lewis was phenomenal in making my stay a great one. The sunrises are breathtaking. Highly recommend as an alternative to the loud beach areas on the island.

Our trip was a fantastic journey into wilderness and pure nature. We had spend a wonderful week with great outdoor activities and exploring the whole island. The staff was very welcoming and warmhearted. We enjoyed snorkeling, tidal walks, forest trails, crab walks and a lot more while learning more about ecological subjects. The cabins were very comfortable and the food was also absolutely delicous

We took the tour around Chumbe Island and had a truly lovely time — the scenery and overall experience were well worth it. The island is beautiful, the wildlife is fascinating, and it’s clear the guides care about sharing their enthusiasm with visitors. One small issue: during the guided walk, the guide mentioned that some baobab trees can live 15,000–20,000 years. From what I understand, that’s not...

Tropical paradise with awesome snorkeling, monstrous crabs, and beautiful birds. Staff were warm and lovely. A day trip is possible, but definitely stay overnight, if only for the Coconut Crab walking tour. They’re nocturnal.

Chombe is a little bit of heaven! I don't know where to begin in my praise for the charming staff, delicious food, interesting activities (Thankyou so much J2) and idyllic setting. A really magical experience.

Best authentic experience! Great snorkling. Eco tourism at its finest. 1 night is not enough. So glad we spent 3 nights there.

Amazing place. You are one with nature. Such ecological lodges, minimal guests, it's as if you are alone on the island. We spotted sting rays, sharks, star fishes and many many more. The variety of corals is great. Perfect for snorkeling or just a swim. Recommended staying 2 nights. The forest accompanying the island is great as well.
