Hotels in Michamvi

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

Excellent hotel, the room is clean, far from civilization, and that's a plus

Food selection is limited. No wifi in the rooms and the activity program was limited. Great scenery and wildlife though, and friendly staff.

It was Amazing everyone is very nice and Amani and Nassee Are Amazing workers!!!! Hassan is awesome too, the massais Are very respektful! 10/10

Room was smaller than we expected but it has what you need.Staff very friendly and attentive Hassan has been extremely helpful and always greets us with a hello and smile.Could do with music around the pool and beach bar as very quiet.A bit isolated for us as we like be able to walk into town to see the local culture.

Great experience and value for money

Such a charming little hotel , we’re already planning to return next year! It’s simple and relaxed, with an authentic African vibe, so don’t come expecting luxury, but come for the warm atmosphere and the people. The staff are some of the kindest and friendliest you could meet, always ready to help with a smile. The pool offers a breathtaking view of the ocean, and there are two beautiful beaches...

Fantastic boutique hotel Menu was changed each day Far too much to eat 3 coarses for breakfast 4 coarses for lunch 5 coarses for dinner Chef will almost cook you what you like Service impeccable Rooms are huge with great views Gym was small but had enough to combat the 36 coarses of food Snorkling trip was great lots of corals and fish Only negative was the sewage slick that came into the ocean...

What a special place this was for our visit to Zanzibar. Zawadi brought us joy and comfort each and every moment. The meals served were creative yet authentic to the local and seasonal sources. Every bite was blissful especially their decadent desserts. Most of all, the staff made you feel so welcomed and at home. Every single interaction with them was personal. Personal for us and personal for them...

The whole experience was wonderful - property was immaculate and well kept, room was very comfortable. The food was excellent in quality and variety with freshness from onsite garden. . Staff and management were very professional and friendly and service was top notch. The atmosphere made it a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.

The place is amazing and in my opinion almost incomparable on the island. Super quite, super clean, great service, great food, I won’t expect nothing more then this.

My wife and I stayed at Zawadi for 5 nights from the 25th-30th November this year and it was nothing short of spectacular. The villa was amazing, everything looked and felt new and it was always kept immaculately clean. The staff are amazing, eveyone knew our names and impressively quickly knew our preferences for food and drinks - Bernard, innocent, Ally, Raza and everyone else we met really made...

From the moment you walk in until your tearful departure, it's the experience of a lifetime. We had an incredible honeymoon. 7 nights of total bliss, relaxation, food, drink, smiles, laughs, swims, naps and cocktails. Definitely the best holiday experience we've ever had. We will be back. Special shout out to Alli, Innocent, Peter, Bernard, Hamad, Raza, Mabula, Isaac, Dez and all the fantastic chefs...

Qambani is a lovely, quiet resort with a wonderful atmosphere. The food is excellent, the staff are friendly and helpful, the rooms are comfortable and lovingly decorated. I especially appreciate the overall aesthetic of the decor looking like it was cobbled together from shipwrecks and driftwood. It adds a vibe that I have not experienced before but very much enjoyed! It's a unique and wonderful...

We stayed at Qambani for 7 days and it was absolutely wonderful. The staff provided amazing service and went above and beyond in everything they did. When I made a special dinner request that wasn't on the menu, they accommodated graciously without hesitation. The spacious room and hotel are beautiful, with great views and a peaceful, secluded atmosphere that made our honeymoon perfect. The facilities...

Everything about Qambani Luxury Resort was perfect-we loved it. The hotel is a beautiful oasis overlooking the Indian Ocean. The decor in the main area and in the villa is gorgeous: relaxed elegance. The infinity pool is lovely as is the surrounding pool area. The food is top quality and delicious, and if something on the menu doesn’t suit you they will gladly amend things for you. We did some day...

After 6 days on safari we wanted to rest in Zanzibar and chose to stay at the Qambani resort for 4 days. We wished we had stayed longer! The place is magical! The lounge area, the pools, our house (Plantation), everything was gorgeous and spacious! You're never in other people's bubbles. And what can I say about the extremely relaxing atmosphere. Except for a little music from time to time, no noise...

What a spoiling!! A beautifully appointed chalet with such attention to detail to make for a perfect stay. Excellent communication from our hosts. To top it all was the most delicious 5 course dinner and breakfast the next morning. Such accommodating, friendly service from everyone. We will be back! Thank you.

We had the pleasure of staying 5 nights at Qambani and already on the first day we felt at home here. The resort is stunningly beautiful but it is the team that makes the stay unforgettable. The service is nothing but the best and everyone is SO friendly. We simply did not want to leave. Many thanks to the entire Qambani team. We will be back!

Had an amazing stay at Hekaya for 3 nights. The rooms, property, service, staff were amazing. The view from the room was the big reason to book this stay, and I was not disappointed at all. The people running this property are so helpful and always are there with a smile, makes your stay memorable. The best thing of stying here was going for my morning walk on the beach early morning during the sunrise...

This was our second stay at Hekaya this year. Jackline gave us a very warm welcome and took excellent care of us throughout our 17-day stay. Her honest and genuine personality makes you feel like you are truly part of the Hekaya family. We would also like to say a big thank you to the entire staff, including John the gardener and Mr. Pool Man 😂 — and especially for supplying us with hundreds of papayas...

Everything about Hekaya Zanzibar is charming. The rooms and bathrooms are very clean and big. Thank you Jennifer for such a great job! The views of the Indian Ocean spectacular! The staff could not be friendlier and accomodating. I wondered if they have okra and I got it! Fresh salads, seafood, meats. Every dinner different. Tariq, Dennis and Mohammed were always friendly and we had some good conversations...

Great location right on the beach, good service and friendly staff. Not many rooms so quiet, but has everything you'd need. Food especially is very good, all fresh produce with a different menu each evening, usually featuring the catch of the day. Recommended!

A wonderful beach experience on the east coast of Zanzibar. The villa itself is set in a small but gorgeous garden, beautifully maintained by John, the gardener. It fronts onto a long, beautiful beach, safe for swimming and with plenty of boats that will take you snorkelling etc. There are several seafront eateries where pole pole is embraced. Small, with only 5 rooms, its perfect for a relaxing...

Here is the English translation: ⸻ It was the holiday of a lifetime, all thanks to the fact that we could spend it at Hekaya. Everything was amazing! The hotel was beautiful and very well-maintained! The entire staff was lovely, extremely helpful and attentive. The view from the window — a dream come true! The beach was like something out of a fairy tale! And the food — incredible! Our taste buds...

This place is amazing and so relaxing. Staff are very friendly, helpful and kind (especially Veronica and iddie) they made me feel at home. The overall vibe and ambiance was incredible. I didn’t want to leave. Unforgettable experience. Thank you

We only went to eat in the restaurant and it was fantastic! In addition to the very nice place, we ate very well! 2 giant lobsters with chips and vegetables at a more than fair price! Furthermore, the staff was very kind and welcomed us, making us feel at home surrounded by friends!

Very tasty cuisine, tastier than here in Zanzibar, I have not tried anything) and the prices are affordable, polite staff, I highly recommend !!! We tried all the menus in a week)))

I won't tell you about the numbers. But the cuisine is very tasty with very low prices. We, as regular customers, even got a discount a couple of times.

Great value for money! The rooms are comfortable and the place is nice. Only downside is the beach (not so nice) and not right next to the hotel as it might look like in pictures ( 5 minutes walk)

Be prepared to listen to some reggae.The food is awesome!

Everything was perfect. The hotel is very well located and very close to the beach. The staff is extremely friendly, always smiling and helpful, and the manager is also very kind. The breakfast is delicious, and the swimming pool is absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an excellent stay.

The mpole bungalows, is a quiet charming place to stay, it has a small swimming pool, set within a garden with fruit trees and swinging day beds. It has a small restaurant, and bar. The bungalows are 30 seconds from the beach, where you can see the sunset, there is an all-night bar from midday to 7am, at sunset a fire is lit, we did not hear any noise from our bungalow. You can do activities and get...

Very nice location, well integrated into the surrounding nature, well maintained and above all managers attentive to sustainability which is very important. Not recommended for those looking for luxury and perfection, it is a simple place and as such you need to know how to appreciate it. There are continuous voltage drops and lack of electricity even for prolonged periods - obviously they do not depend...

I can not rate this place high enough !!. Amazing location , beautiful beach , beautiful food , rooms are perfect , the pool/chill area is amazing too and every member of staff are beautiful people with amazing service we even had a day trip sorted for us by mohammed who made it feel so easy and stress free !! Will 100% come back next time i am visiting zanzibar island

Went to lounge by the pool and have their prawn curry, which was excellent. Friendly staff and a great view of the ocean!

This place was like a dream. Very quiet, right on the beach. You can see the sunrise from your bed. The rooms were clean and the staff is friendly. The food is also very good, they make the best curry. Tasty breakfast and super delicious fresh juice ❤ best place if you would like a relaxed vacation.

This hotel is about a 90 minute drive from the airport. I couldn’t find much feedback on it in my research but decided to take a chance on it anyway. WOW, it’s so beautiful. The setup is more of a bed and breakfast type accommodation. The property is a lot bigger than I anticipated and it’s very quiet. Very few people walking the beach/sellers bothering you. There are 2 buildings to choose from. I...

The Hotel Matlai was an incredible experience. The staff were amongst the best I have ever met. The owner (Inge) was a truly special lady and we felt like family. The manager Yemen and the rest of the team are a credit Zanzibar. The food and drinks were as good as the best places I've ever eaten. To be honest, this is the type of place that exceeds expectations. The room and grounds were immaculately...

Boutique Hotel Matlai, is a hidden gem on Zanzibar. The warm welcome of not only the amazing caring staff, but also of the beautifull surrounding with palms & tropical plants greets you. And the warm ocean wind: Matlai. Which blows away all your stress & worries 2 fully let you enjoy your stay @Matlai. The perfect design & food & butler service, 10 out of 10!! Just a perfect place to celebrate...

Finished up our trip to Tanzania with four days on Zanzibar. The Matlai Boutique Hotel was such a wonderful place to unwind and prepare for the trip back home. They have six villas right on the ocean in a beautiful tropical setting. The accommodations were beyond anything I expected with spacious villas, swimming pool right outside the door and just steps from the beach. The thing that made Matlai...

We chose Hotel Matlai as a place to relax and unwind after a 2 week safari and it was absolutely perfect. It was unexpectedly luxurious with a beautifully appointed large bedroom with a huge comfortable bed, lots of wardrobe space for unpacking, comfortable seating and a private terrace where our breakfast was served each day. The bathroom had twin basins, a free standing bathtub and an excellent shower...

We throughly enjoyed staying at Upendo. It is cozy with suites as well as multi-bedroom house, right in front of the beach and the famous "The Rock" restaurant. It has privacy, coziness, good and attentive service by staffs, as well as good restaurant, cafe and bar. Needless to say, it enjoyed beautiful view of Indian Ocean right in front. Highly recommended for cosy, private, relaxing getaway, with...

Well- what a delightful piece of heaven we discovered. Our family booked Villa Shiva to spend Christmas together after our safari. From the welcome at the property we immediately knew we were somewhere special. Francesca and her staff took such great care of us from start to finish. It's nearly impossible to explain how relaxed we were. Our view of The Rock restaurant and the stunning blue waters made...

For my birthday enjoyed cocktails at the deck. Service and cocktails are impeccable. We were enchanted by one of the employees who told us about herself and has a beautiful smile. The view of The Rock restaurant in the water in front of Upendo Beach Hotel is very nice. I recommend the view of The Rock restaurant while dining at Upendo Beach. As cuisine and quality of cocktails at The Rocks are in no...

Pure magic, caring, excellent personal service. Highly recommended. Wonderful creative cuisine. Location right on the ocean's edge is quite stunning with its beautiful colours. A photographer's dream.

Hello Francesca and team, What a wonderful experience we had at your excellent boutique hotel with my family. Our staff members Geof and Theo were amazing — congratulations to all the other team members as well! The private dinner was truly special; your Italian chef pleasantly surprised us with everything he created. This is not a goodbye — we’ll definitely be back! Highly recommended to everyone...

Incredible position, with mesmerising sea views/reefs and of the Rock restaurant. The hotel was not busy when we were there, which was a shame. The lounge needed, we felt, more relaxing seating if you just wanted tea/coffee, it would have made it more inviting. Our room was spotless and brilliant (all day crisps in a jar...) views, plenty of lounging areas around the two pools. Everywhere was well...

We are so happy we found this place. Michamvi has come to be our favorite place in Zanzibar and Milele Lodge our favorite stay. The vibe is so chill and relaxing. The staff is wonderful, there is nothing they won't do for you. The rooms are good and the area has lots of chillplaces outside with good wifi and charging avaliable. :) The food is great. Their tourguide Hassan offers really nice tours...

Its one of the best chilling area with your family. Their services are good and wonderful

The OASIS between all the resorts, bungalow to yourself. Talib the owner was just amazing, huge breakfast every morning with our incredible Fahad and company. We spent time with them at night on the chill out area, music, little puppies and also Red colobus monkey comes to have breakfast with you if youre lucky. Out of all our Airbnb amd accomodations this one is the best and we are very sad to leave...

Clean, friendly, cozy athmosphere, comfortable, nice food, very near to the beach, good WiFi, they have a lovely dog who likes to join you for a walk to the beach

Located off the beaten track in Michamvi. Knocking off 1 star for the wifi quality and the fact that the rain leaked into the room where I was staying. Rooms are Old fashioned cottages which are quite charming. Good breakfast included in the booking price. Very friendly staff - they even took me to the nearby mangrove forests when they realised I was alone. Thank you Agnes and Margaret !

Definitely one of my favorite lodges to stay in Zanzibar, steps away from the most beautiful long & quiet white sandy beach. The lodge is quiet & spacious with comfortable private & shared rooms. Amazing hot showers with good pressure & everything is well maintained & clean. Beautiful garden with palm trees & flowers. Very good local Swahili food, coconut curry & excellent spicy pilau rice, seafood...
