5 star hotels in Mjini Magharibi Region

Already saving up to return. I LOVED everything, Rebecca at the buffet restaurant and the Indian manager were exceptionally good to me.

We LOVEDDDDDD (!!!!!!!) it here!! So much so that we decided to book twice in the same vacation. We hadn't booked anything for the last part of our honeymoon, and we decided to come back to end our honeymoon here. The service is amazing, the staff is extremely friendly (genuine, not the fake friendliness), the rooms are amazing and the beach is soo clean and beautiful. The food is also amazing!! Which...

Amazing hotel to stay. Being an avid traveller, I can say this is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed. The food is exceptional in quality and quantity. The staff are very friendly and cater to all needs. Such a lovely place to be to relax and enjoy the all-inclusive vibes. All staff are smiling and show so much care towards you. We were specially looked after by Abdallah who mostly works in...

We stayed in both Jumbo and Palace. We checked into the hotel at night, they gave us a room near the reception (the reception is more modest compared to Jumbo). Our room was 300 and was terribly far from the restaurant and activities, it was hard to walk up the hill. But you could ask to take you by buggy. In the first hours of our stay, I seemed to like Palace less, but then I realized its specialty...

It is a bit pricey but the service and food very good. It is an all inclusive resort and everything is free. They have a bar and service for 24 hours. They have multiple restaurants and one of their restaurant open three times a day and there is another restaurant that opens till late. You can use RIU Jambo resort facilities. There are about four or five restaurants open for dinner time but to get...

Friendly staff, hotel located on a beautiful beach but no restaurants, shops around. Often power cuts during the day.

An incredibly large hotel—at least 45 minutes from one side to the other, so it's convenient to use the golf carts. A wide variety of restaurants, several beaches, and pools. Very cozy, secluded pavilions, completely immersed in the jungle. The sand on the shoreline is stunning. The coastline itself is endless—over 10 km.

I believe that having booked in the premium level area, the car services should be more efficient.

Initially we had some issues with our villa and with the condition of its balcony, which was due for refurbishment as the neighbouring villa was being worked on - so it wasn’t a great start, however the staff were attentive and sorted us out by relocating us a brand new private villa which in one word was WOW! Everything else was excellent and would most certainly recommend.

Wonderful place , felt like heaven , we had a perfect experience, felt in love with the place and the team of the hotel were welcoming and helpful .

This is my second time staying at Meliá, and it won’t be my last. It’s not only because the hotel and grounds are beautiful. It’s the staff, they are exceptional, they’re the most friendly, smiley, professional and provide amazing service. Every room is cleaned twice a day and I’ve left valuables lying around and everything has always been safe. My only complaint this time was that there was no working...

1. The ambiance is fantastic! 2. The main restaurant's chef seems Indian, and we had a rather terrible dinner. Luckily, we switched to BBQ the next day, which was a bit better. Bookings at the other restaurants aren't easy. You have to book a full day in advance to be sure. 3. The beach party on our check-in night lasted until midnight and was incredibly loud. I made several complaints starting at...

Kiwengwa beach resort zanzibar Tanzania. Dreamy beach paradise. Stop searching and book this incredible hotel on the beach this place is a gem, rooms are spacious beautifully tiled and pristine. The food was excellent. We specially enjoyed breakfast

Excellent customer service from start to finish—friendly, attentive staff and quick problem resolution. Our original room had a stale smell, and washcloths were unavailable with toiletries not replenished unless requested. We had to switch rooms, after which room service became available, but we weren’t initially aware of it; a 24-hour room service or snack option would be appreciated. Areas for improvement...

Absolutely fantastic holiday, the hotel is amazing, right on the beach but with plenty of pools too. The restaurants were all great, such a good selection. Our room was fabulous with the comfiest bed. The staff could not do enough for you and always happy and smiling. We were chilled right from the minute we got there to the minute we left. Such a memorable holiday for us celebrating a big birthday...

Positives: The hotel area is huge, boasts very good facilities, has 3 separate pools and a beautiful beach area thus avoiding overcrowded areas. Negatives: Considering that this is a 5 star hotel, the rooms smelt of mould, electricity circuits had issues with lights flickering and lights not working. Room finishing was very poor. Having stayed at Tanzania mainland in Serengeti, I felt that accommodation...

Emmanuel The hotel manager & also all the staff at the restaurant 10/10 Going to miss this beautiful resort Love from Monica, Ibrahim & baby miracle

The hotel is next to the beach, the beach is beautiful with white sand, and the hotel is quite large. The environment is OK, there are two bedside restaurants, one buffet restaurant that I didn't try and it looked average, and the other a la carte restaurant. It was also average. The room was normal and not luxurious, and there was nothing to see near the hotel. Stay here to enjoy the beach, don't...

Luxurious hotel, deserving of its stars Beautiful grounds, pools and room. Very attentive service. Good and varied food. I really enjoyed my stay

The hotel grounds are beautiful but the staff especially the staff at reception didn’t seem too welcoming. I also explained that we were celebrating our honeymoon and was told the room would be decorated…it never happened. The food lacks flavor…for such a big resort it would nice if it were more dining options. The rooms are also dated could use some remodeling.

We had great time at this hotel. Good evening entertainment and food was great! This hotel was busier then the other three hotels we stayed in zanzibar. Nice little beach area and bars. Would stay again..

Good value for money, the room is big, can accommodate three people, suitable for a family of three. Two balconies, many large hotel swimming pools, and great views. It is said that the drinks are all-inclusive, but in fact the free drinks and drinks are relatively few. The buffet is quite satisfactory, not amazing. There are relatively few Chinese people, and I met one. The service attitude of the...

It was my first time staying at an all inclusive hotel and i loved it. The hotel is huge and there is a lot to do in the hotel. I stayed at the beachfront room so I had the best views and the best room in the hotel. The staff was amazing and the food was even better.

We stayed at the Zanzibar Royal for couple of nights in June . Beautiful hotel, top notch and friendly service. The food was excellent. Lunch and Dinner buffets were had different variety. Mr. Muru and his staff were very friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. The pool area and the beach were beautiful. The rooms were very spacious and clean. Highly recommend staying here. I wish we had...

The sea view is beautiful. Looking forward to next time.

The staff were lovely. A massive shout out to Innocent who served us during our romantic beach dinner and also went above and beyond the following night for beach buffet dinner. An honourable mention to Sufiyan or Sufiyani I cannot remember his name properly but really great service at Bar & Grill restaurant. Hotel amenities were great with good food at both buffet restaurants. Only downside was that...

The facilities are very good, the service staff is very friendly, and the beach is beautiful

The room was very clean and had a balcony, which was very convenient for drying swimwear. The hotel was very large. We stayed near the front desk, and it was a long walk to the restaurant and the beach. The staff were very friendly. The hotel included two meals, and we stayed for three nights, so we went to a restaurant for dinner every night. The food was generally good, and the barbecue and pasta...

Great hotel, complete facilities, good service, and the sea in front of the hotel is also beautiful. The breakfast and dinner package is very cost-effective, and there are three free restaurants to choose from. There are only hotels nearby, not many restaurants.

The three meals were very good, the pool was beautiful, the beach and the sea were perfect. The band performances by the pool at night were very high quality and the atmosphere was great. On Saturdays, we caught up with the beach dinner and the Masai show. The room was large, the waiters were friendly and the service was good

We stayed at this hotel for 11 days with my husband and 12year old daughter. The hotel and its grounds are lovely. Gardens beautiful, well maintained. We stayed in garden bungalow with partial sea view, it was up the hill. Rooms were spacious, nice and clean. The rooms were made up twice a day. We had minibar refilled with water and soft drinks every day. The food was Ok, sometimes repetitive. Slightly...

We cant forget the moment we had from this hotel lovely servise unique smile from Allen the best barman ever we got delicious cocktail from pool bar and at the barcat in evening goodentertainment machano salama and our dejay were nice rooms were well decorated and deliciousfood we loved african dinner

Very good experience at this hotel it’s had a great staff they are very friendly and we loved Allen very polite always smiling give us the best drink and told us history about the islands I’m giving 5 stars great time

It was a perfect Trip! The Hotel, the room, the buffet everything! Especially Allan, he works at the poolbar and in the evening at the dinner!!! Very friendly! Hakuna matata! We come back again!!!

My partner and I stayed here for 10 days in late September. On arrival we were greeted at reception with a drink and a much-needed hot towel after a very long flight. From the moment we arrived everyone we met was friendly and welcoming. Our luggage was taken to our room while we were checking in, during checking we were provided a map with all relevant information such as restaurant times and provided...

This is a very nice and beautiful beach resort along the east coast of Zanzibar. The staff was so friendly, the accommodations nice, beach was spectacular colors and chairs in the shade easy to find. All inclusive food was good, typical for a resort and drinks plentiful. Mosquito nets for the beds, bottled water for use in the room. Special thanks to the staff for their friendly and prompt service...

I can say it's the best hotel in Zanzibar

Zuri is not just a resort, it’s an experience that stays with you long after you leave! This was our third stay at this resort. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel like family, and that is entirely down to the incredible people who run this place. Hotel Manager Romano sets the tone for everything. His warmth, attention to detail, and the genuine care he puts into our stay is shown in...

It’s with a heavy heart that we leave tomorrow. Zuri Zanzibar is quite simply one of the most special places we have ever had the privilege of staying. The location is stunning — and the days here have a beautiful rhythm to them. Mornings begin with fantastic yoga, the perfect way to ease into the day, before the sundowners on the beach each evening bring everything full circle. The evening entertainment...

Beautiful hotel, all the facilities are very good, but the beach access is the best part—plenty of space. The staff is super friendly.

Pros - Beautiful bungalow room & pool & nice beach. Cons- customer service for the wait staff & room service extremely slow. We would ask for a simple thing for the room & it would never come or take a few hours to be delivered like water or an iron. Food at the only beach grill the Bahari Beach Grill pretty terrible. Lastly, they say it’s a private beach but they allow others to still sit and take...

We absolutely loved our stay at Zuri Zanzibar. The bungalows were a wonderful surprise — beautifully designed, set in the middle of lush greenery, and offering great privacy. The housekeeping was excellent, and everything was always spotless. The food was also fantastic; we dined at Maisha every night and the chef’s daily suggestions were consistently amazing. The staff were friendly, warm and...

Great stay service food and facilities Staff is very friendly and welcome Only bad thing is that if you come for the beach it’s not the best in the area due to the rocks

Amazing hotel ,great customer service 10/10 l highly recommend.

We had friends who were staying close by who wanted to come have lunch and drinks at the hotel. They were asked to pay $20 per head to access the hotel. We ended up going to thier hotel for dinner and drinks. Otherwise service was good.

Best birthday weekend ever! The staff were warm, welcoming, and full of joy 🤗. My beachfront room was breathtaking, waking up to the ocean was pure bliss. Huge thanks to the team on 31.08.25 for making my birthday so special with songs and a beautiful cake. Asanteni sana! 💜

Great place, I loved the staff

The beach at Nungwi Dreams is peaceful and quite. Ideal for a perfect getaway. High standard of leaving which I could recommend any day any hour. The breakfast buffet wow it's the best that I have ever experienced in Zanzibar.

Beautiful hotel, welcoming and helpful team

This hotel was fantastic; the ocean and pool alone were enough to make the stay fulfilling. I highly recommend it for a relaxing getaway!

Not a bad hotel for this location. Positive staff and service.

Beautiful hotel, very kind and helpful staff. Major drawbacks: the beach and low tide, lots of sea urchins, and the distance from Nungwi town center. The manager forced us to pay €90 per person for a Christmas meal even though we don't celebrate Christmas, but they refused to budge, and the meal was mediocre.

From the moment we stepped inside the reception to the time we checked out, we had the most memorable stay. The whole resort was beautifully presented, clean, luxurious and peaceful. We booked the partial sea view room and it was fabulous from all the little details inside to the private verandah outside, perfect for relaxing whilst reading a book or watching the boats go by on the sea. The infinity...

The hotel fell short of 5-star standards due to inconsistent service. Key issues: • Our booked seafront suite was unavailable on the first night due to overbooking (later cited as maintenance), and we were placed in a family house with unused amenities like a kitchen and extra rooms. • Service was lacking: staff were friendly but unhelpful. One left us at the buffet without seating us, and another...

We were looking for a getaway and the Diamond Mapenzi Beach Hotel in Zanzibar was exactly what we needed. Comprising of endless days in the sun, friendly staff and the most exquisite resort. The beaches were clean and easily accessible. The resort is spacious and can be as private as you want to be. This is a place that recharges your batteries and wants you to come back for more !!

Spent a lovely 9 days at this hotel. The place was spotless and so well run. The food was delicious and all of the staff exceptional. Id like to make a special mention of Waziri who was so attentive to our needs around the beach area. Would have given 5 stars but our towels were not changed the whole time we were there.

What is Diamonds mapenzi? Is the place where you can recharge after work hard and make your holiday unforgettable. Starting animation team to the all department staff are extremely unforgettable special animation team made our holiday went above and beyond. Everything was great beach room, pools, foood gardens and check in and check out Hopefully back again !

We were welcomed with such generosity from the friendliest staff. A special shout out to Omar who did our introductory walk through and by the time we left, we could sincerely call him a friend. The resort itself is absolutely breathtaking, our room was always made up beautifully and very clean. One of our favorite parts of the day was going to dinner, and walking into Herith - who went out of her...

The most incredible week with special school friends of over 50 years! Couldn’t have chosen a more beautiful resort to have our precious reunion. Staff were all exceptional! Nothing is ever too much for them. Treated like queens all week. The resort runs so smoothly. Could not recommend more highly.

Very nice hotel with good and professional staff since we arrived we received an amazing service from all departments. Special thank to the animation team Herieth, Kombo, Veronica, Alessia, Elisa, James, Miraji, Janette and the recreational manager Jamal. We played beach volley tournaments, we partecipated to the fashion show and we really enjoy during our honeymoon. Restaurant and food in general...

It was just a perfect stay for me. The Location,food,serenity and service. I will stay longer next time I visit Zanzibar

We spent a week in late November at Sea Cliff. We were a big group of participants from different countries around easter Africa and Sweden having a week-long workshop. What I really want to highlight with Sea Cliff is the extremely friendly and service minded staff working at Sea Cliff. Wherever you went around the facilities you were met with a smiling face and a friendly approach. Even the new staff...

I really enjoyed my stay at Sea Cliff Resort & Spa—many highlights. Having lunch while overlooking the ocean was amazing. The staff were super warm—especially Steve, the front office manager, who made sure we were comfortable throughout. I also enjoyed the mini golf and ping pong for relaxation in the evening. The turndown service was a nice touch, and the themed dinners were great, with the Indian...

Amazing amazing place from the beautiful scenery to the excellent service !! It runs like a well oiled machine , they pay attention to detail to everything!! Special shout out to Mbarouk, Mbonea , Pianeto , Ritha and Jonny they made the visit extra special

Certainly! Here's an exceptional review for Sea Cliff **A Slice of Paradise at Sea Cliff Resort** I recently had the privilege of staying at Sea Cliff Resort in Zanzibar, and it was an unforgettable experience that truly exceeded all my expectations. Nestled along the breathtaking coastline, this resort is a paradise that offers the perfect blend of luxury, relaxation, and adventure. **The Setting...

Some staff were amazing and some could have been friendlier. Lovely amenities and atmosphere. Really enjoyed my stay

We had a very good experience. Their food is so nice. We were warmly welcomed at the restaurant by Hafidh and he served us very well..

The hotel is great, very welcoming Cleaned and environmentally sound However it is located very far (about 1h30min) from what we call “pinterest” beaches. At the moment we came, the roads were in chaos due to roadworks and repairs. Overall, for those who just want to stay at the hotel, without really wanting to explore the city, it’s a great choice.

Greatest hospitality from the lounge from Suleiman…I’ll sureLu come back

Excellent service, the customer care is so friendly and the food is So delicious.I say Hotel Verde is the place for luxury and enjoyment

I was travelling with a group of 8 and we could not fly out of Zanzibar. The verde hotel was very gracious and provided a great buffet breakfast. Particularly service oriented were these people Hafidh Soud Bakari Anjelina

Visited the hotel with my family Some great positives: - The staff is so helpful, professional and friendly..it definitely felt like home.A special thanks to Asad who drove the golf cart(went the extra mile to make our experience perfect) -Rooms are big and spacious.They are well cleaned and good aur condition -Quick service whenever we needed Some negatives/points that might make you choose another...

I loved everything but to name a few: the stunning beach that even has a walkway into the ocean, the hotel staff’s attention to guest, the gym, the location, the spa and overall the smell of flowers/plants all over the resort. The resort has a charm that all those large hotels (that are so impersonal) miss out on. There was always plenty of food so even the pickiest eater can find something. There...

Leaving the Karafuu Hotel in Zanzibar after a week was incredibly emotional for us — words truly fall short. Our stay went far beyond anything we had imagined, and every aspect of it was exceptional. The stunning beach, the well-kept and comfortable rooms, and the outstanding food already made the experience unforgettable. However, what truly set this holiday apart was the genuine warmth, kindness...

Words cannot describe how we felt leaving the Karafuu Hotel in Zanzibar after one week. It exceeded all our expectations – everything was simply amazing. The beautiful beach, the comfortable and well-maintained accommodation, and the delicious food alone would have made our holiday unforgettable, but what truly made our stay special was the incredible kindness and cheerfulness of the hotel staff....

I had an absolutely amazing diving experience with the Karufuu Hotel Diving Center in Wimbi. The whole team is highly professional, well-organized, and truly passionate about what they do. My instructor Omar was exceptional — calm, attentive, and very knowledgeable. He made every dive feel safe, relaxed, and incredibly enjoyable. A big thank you as well to the captains, Siadi and Suma, who were always...

Wonderful accommodation, beautiful location, incredibly friendly staff. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone, and if we visit Zanzibar again, we will definitely choose this hotel. The food and activities were excellent every day, they have the best animation team, thank you to Nurdin, Jackson, and Khadija for everything. Asante sana🤍

The room was very cozy, and the staff were kind and friendly. Here, I could completely relax and lie down, enjoying three days of complete physical and mental rest. Wow!

It perfectly sits on the kiwengwa beach there is nothing better than that. The food the service the peaceful vibe of the whole resort is just addictive. I honestly didn’t felt like going back on my last day.

We loved absolutely everything about this resort. It was nice and quiet, there wasn’t many people, which was good because there was always free seats at the beach, and near the pool. The employees are extremely friendly. Every night, around 9, they came to spray our room against bugs, mostly mosquitoes, it helped a lot, our room was beautiful, and the pools were nice to cool off in

We arrived here on the 9th of march after our flights had been cancelled due to the war , we arrived at 10pm at night after sourcing emergancy accomodation and we were greeted by MIKE , he has been nothing but amazing thru out our stay , today the 16th of march again out flights were delayed and mike went out his way to accomodate our stay checking in on myself and my party , daily he found us made...

First visit to Zanzibar and the people here have made such an impact on our trip in a wonderful way. The hotel is very clean and presented so well with gorgeous floral and leaf decorations made by the staff. The staff are the friendliest and most conscientious, hardworking people I have met, with so much pride I their in their work and a genuine care to make your stay perfect, from concierge, reception...

We had an amazing vacation! The staff is very friendly, polite and welcoming. All the hotels territory is very quiet, nice and beautiful. Only best recommendations!

Excellent Customer Service, Meals, Environment is super beautiful. Special thanks to Mike Mengich, Pricillah, Jimmy & the entire bluebay family for the warm reception. I highly recommend Bluebay to anyone looking for a vacation destination in Zanzibar. May God Bless you & see you soon..We'll be right back

This resort had a wonderful staff and BEAUTIFUL VIEWS from our beach front elevated villa. Unbelievable place! My girlfriend and I care a lot about the food we eat at resorts we visit. Tulia was at a 4/10 when it came to the food.

From the moment you arrive to the final drive to the airport this place is true paradise! Service above and beyond, the property has 16 rooms in stunning bungalows. The maintenance and amenities are top notch. Walking distance from the Pongwe Beach. Staff are incredible and will do anything to make you happy. The hotel has their own little farm which provides the freshest ingredients for all the food...

We travel a lot and we must say that Tulia was by far one of the best choices where we have stayed. The staff, food, garden, services, spa, entertainment and the overall impression was absolutely perfect. The all inclusive meant truly everything from seafood to champagne. Also we got airport transfers and massages as complimentary package so it was great deal. ALL in all this was the best holiday...

Where to start? The Tulia is located on a beautiful private beach. The food and drink selection are amazing. Rooms are large and situated amongst the most beautiful greenery. The staff are warm and genuine, and seem to enjoy working there. The food is excellent. Our kids loved the water slides and the beach activities. It comes at a hefty price, but this level of hotel in other markets (Thailand or...

We travel a lot, and great service is rare — but Tulia gets it right. Lucas in the restaurant remembered our preferences after the first day, and it never felt forced or scripted. The team works seamlessly, and you can feel the pride they take in their work.

We chose this place because we were tired — not just physically, but mentally. And somehow, Tulia understood that without us ever saying it. There was no pressure to do anything. We ate when we were hungry, swam when we felt like it, and spent a surprising amount of time simply sitting and doing nothing. The food was consistently excellent, the surroundings beautiful, but more than that, the whole...

I came with friends to see the sea. It is in the center of Stone Town and has a good location. Overall it is good and I will choose it again if I have the chance.

Good, could be great with some changes.

The location is in Stone Town, which is convenient for sightseeing. It is a very good hotel in the area with good facilities, but it is a bit expensive

It's not new, but very beautiful. When we checked in, they said there were no sea view rooms, what a pity...; The hotel is on the west side of the island. Don't forget to find a sunset cruise to watch the sunset, which is the highlight of the hotel on the west side of the island.

Right in the heart of Stone Town, you can go downstairs to the beach. There are fresh coconuts for breakfast, but they are not sweet enough. Haha, maybe the African coconuts are not the right variety, they don't feel sweet enough. The overall service facilities are good and meet the standards of a 5-star hotel.

The hotel is beautiful. It is located at the heart of Stone town. If you like luxury than this hotel is for you. I’m definitely going to go back. The food and the friendly staff made my stay extra special.

The Madinat Al Bahr hotel is conveniently located at a beach near the airport (3km, 6-10min drive) and also not far from Zanzibar City (7km, around 10-15min drive) with its famous stone town and ferry terminal to Dar Es Salaam etc. The hotel's architecture is impressive. The breakfast buffet is nice, but lunch an dinner buffet happens only on weekends. The restaurant kitchen is strong on local Swaheli...

The beginning was a little bumpy yet after I addressed my concerns, the management in all departments including frontdesk and F&B went out of there way to make this visit for my mother and me even more memorable than expected. I have visit over 200 hotels world-wide in the last three years, and witnessed a combined effort to make things more than right for us. Since I was working as an F&B Manager...

This was a last minute stay since we had a missed flight. Very nice hotel though. Wish we could have enjoyed more. It was a beautiful place.

A very nice hotel complex for short stays. The free shuttle service to the city center and the airport was particularly convenient.

A little far from Kendwa Beach but close to airport. Clean, and extremely comfortable.

A little far from Kendwa Beach but close to airport. Clean, and extremely comfortable.

Great experience, stayed for 1 week - nothing to complain about. Definitely worth to visit

Overall the hotel was good. The beach and pool was very nice. Food was hit and miss as certain items were repeated. Our Butler Ramson was provided with our Jungle Villa was excellent and his service was impeccable. Th hotel is approximately 1.5 hours from Stone Town. Overall we enjoyed the hotel amenities and food.

We enjoyed the stay and the staff were very friendly. However, due to a flight cancellation we arrived a day after our check-in date. I did send the hotel a message advising them of this and asking if they could do anything about the (all inclusive) cost but received NO response. The day we checked out we were told that we would have to pay for any food and drink consumed after the 11:00 check-out...

Absolutely excellent Fantastic location, great staff, very friendly and efficient. Led by a brilliant General Manager. Good food and very pleasant thematic evenings with shows.

Loved the service and how the staff always paid attention to customers. This resort overfed me lol!! Highly recommended..

Great beach. Clean rooms and common areas. Good food. Friendly staff. Overall we had a wonderful time. Things to improve- 1. Access road to the hotel is really bad. 2. All dishes should be named and allergies taken seriously. 3. A table and chair would be useful in the rooms. 4. Gym is very basic. 5. Activities like exercise sessions in the pool, beach yoga, cooking demos will further enhance the value...

My stay at the Zanzibar White Sand Luxury Resort & Spa was incredible. The location is just perfect with direct beach access, and I really appreciated how safe it felt – there's security around so nobody bothers you, which makes such a difference. We stayed in one of the villas and honestly, it had everything. Private pool with loungers and hammocks, really good air conditioning, a kitchen with a...

The best of the best you can find on this island. Location - amazing (a huge white sand beach, a wonderfully curated garden); accomodation - superb (pristine clean, comfortable, spacious rooms); food - unbelievable (quality of ingredients, the way dishes are prepared and delivered, all is top); personnel - wonderful (Hamida we miss you, but also Janeth and all other waiters, Haji the driver, and every...

A fantastic place. The staff is incredibly nice, monkeys come and go in the trees, the spa is perfect and the food is excellent with some nice happenings : local artists are often invited to play music and dance. Thanks to Valerie, the general manager, to Ramadhan, the nicest buttler you'll ever meet, and all the staff : Beatrice, Doreen, Karoline, Moudric the guide, Evelyne and Moreen at the spa...

R&C’s White Sand Villas in Zanzibar was an exceptional venue for our family’s New Year getaway. We left another property in the northwest of Zanzibar when two rooms were available last minute for a stay here. The grounds are impeccable and blend in beautifully with the natural white sand surroundings. The allure of kite surfers is magnificent from the clean, not-busy beach. The villas are extremely...

"We had an incredible family holiday at Zanzibar White Sand Luxury villas. We had our stunning villa and the large private pool, which offered total seclusion and hours of fun for the kids and beyond, the food was exceptional, every meal was fresh, flavorful, and exceeded our expectations. It is the perfect blend of luxury, privacy, and top-tier dining. ​The staff treated our children like royalty...

A Slice of Paradise – With a French Twist! I’m staying at White Sand Luxury Villas right now, and honestly… it’s everything a Relais & Châteaux hotel should be — relaxed luxury with zero fuss and lots of “oh wow” moments. Valérie, the manager (a fabulous French lady), runs the place beautifully. You can feel her touch everywhere: stylish, calm, and just the right amount of chic. The staff are wonderful...

This hotel is paradise. Only 30 villas spread out over a large area with a stunning beach and gorgeous pool area. The staff are plentiful and attentive, all providing service with a smile. Yassine gets a particular mention for being the guy that goes above and beyond, and gets special requests sorted.

From the very first moment, we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. The villas are breathtaking — beautifully designed, spacious, and thoughtfully detailed, blending luxury with authentic Zanzibar style. The food was exceptional and truly unforgettable. What made the experience truly outstanding was the service. The staff provided warm, attentive, and highly personalized care, making us feel special...

Baraza is an exquisite property. Its quiet relaxed luxury and warm friendly staff are conducive to relaxation. It’s the sort of place you’ll never want to leave.

one of the best hotel i stayed during my holiday very good place considering each and everything 10/10 nice room nice pool nice food

Baraza was pure magic. Our room was a stunning, private haven. The food was delicious at every meal. The beach and gardens are breathtakingly beautiful. And the staff? The kindest, friendliest people who made us feel so special. Everything was simply wonderful. We can't wait to return
