Next Paradise Boutique Resort in Pwani Mchangani

We absolutely loved staying at Next paradise after our safari! The very quiet and very private setting was a perfect place to relax. The grounds were meticulously maintained, as were the rooms. The staff were friendly, professional, and attentive. The food was delicious and plentiful, and meals could be accommodated to fit any diet. Anna was incredibly helpful; she gave us great advice for exploring the beach area and even gave us water shoes to use for our walks. We would not hesitate for a moment to recommend this place for pure relaxation and enjoyment.

Excellent food, where quality and attention to detail can be felt in every bite. The surroundings are beautifully maintained, clean and aesthetic, while also offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere. This place truly feels like peace on earth – the perfect spot to relax, disconnect from everyday life and fully enjoy a carefree holiday. Highly recommended for anyone seeking tranquility, comfort and indulgence.

The hotel is located directly on the beach. The interior of the resort is very well maintained – every morning they sweep and tidy the paths and the surroundings. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a cold coconut, which was very refreshing after the long journey to our vacation. The staff is very friendly. The rooms were spacious; I was especially impressed by the clean, large, and modern bathroom. All the beds were equipped with mosquito nets.The cuisine is mainly seafood – I recommend trusting their selection, as you will experience authentic African culinary flavors.

We had a wonderful stay at Next Paradise Resort. The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable, with the ocean breeze and sound of the waves making it feel truly special. The food was consistently great, fresh and full of flavor, with a nice mix of local and international dishes. What really stood out was the hospitality. Marina’s warmth and care are felt throughout the resort — you’re made to feel genuinely welcome, not just like a guest. The beachfront location is beautiful and peaceful, yet perfect for exploring Zanzibar. Highly recommended, and we’d happily return.

Our stay at this resort in Zanzibar was absolutely exceptional. What impressed us most was the truly personal approach from the entire team. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like family—welcoming us, anticipating our needs, and offering thoughtful touches throughout our stay. The team always checked in to make sure we were comfortable and happy. Every interaction felt warm, genuine, and full of positive energy. The beautiful setting, stunning beach, and delicious food made the stay unforgettable, but it was the personal attention and sincere hospitality that set this resort apart from any other place we’ve visited. We recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone traveling to Zanzibar.

Just a great location with a great team that look after you from the moment you arrive. Food is amazing particularly if you like fish!!

We spent the most relaxing 4 nights here after our safari. From the moment we arrived, Ana, and the rest of her staff were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. Our Beach Bungalow was spacious, extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. And so quiet - it was just the end to our holiday that we needed. The food was delicious and plentiful. The dinner menu each evening was a set four courses (set menu's seemed to be the norm in most of the hotels we stayed in on our trip), but you could change any part of that if it wasn't to your liking with no problem. Will we be recommending this hotel to our friends? Absolutely! Thank you to Ana the the team for a wonderful stay.

This is the resort that we chose to relax at after a week of safari and I am so glad that we did! This resort has everything--a heated pool, a beautiful beach, air conditioned rooms (a plus after not having any at the safari lodges), comfy bed, four course delicious dinners, tasty cocktails, on-site massage and of course, a lovely staff of people. Anna, the Front Desk Manager, is as helpful as she is friendly! She booked me a massage and helped us make change for our large bills. We booked the oceanfront deluxe room and if your budget allows it, I highly recommend it! Steps from the beach and a lovely wrap-around porch with two sitting areas and only a few more steps to the pool. The only downside is that the wifi is spotty but I don't think this is a fault of the resort. I also purchased a Holafly eSim and the wifi from this was also spotty so I think it is Zanzibar issue and no fault of the hotel. We had a fabulous time here and if ever in Zanzibar again, we will definitely be staying at this resort again!

From the moment we arrived at this gorgeous resort, we were treated with the utmost kindness and every single staff member we encountered went above and beyond to make our stay one of the best we have had anywhere. The property manager, Ana, showed a kindness and desire to make our stay the best it could be more than anywhere else we have traveled. I cannot say enough kind things about her and the staff at this resort. The rooms are beautiful, the grounds are clean and well-kept, and the food is outstanding! We had the 4-course dinner every night of our stay and I will never forget how great our entire experience was.

This is a small but wonderful hotel. The staff are very attentive. The menu is very fishy but for guests like me that do not eat fish this can be substituted. The rooms are all facing the ocean, spacious and clean.
