Facing the beachfront, The Mora Zanzibar - Luxury All Inclusive offers 5-star accommodation in Matemwe and has a garden, private beach area and bar. Among the facilities at this property are room service and a business centre, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The resort features an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, evening entertainment and a kids' club. Our stay at the Mora Hotel in Zanzibar was perfect from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Special thanks to Fabian from Muyuni Beach Club and Ajay who manages the front desk, who truly stood out with their exceptional service. The hotel has beautiful pools and an amazing spa. Both Jikan and Horizon restaurants have delicious food, and the breakfast each morning was fantastic. We went on some paid water activities from the hotel such as snorkeling and dolphin watching, which were unique experiences. There are facilities and things to do for all kinds of visitors; families with kids, couples, and friend groups. The Pause Spa was another highlight of our stay, the couples massage there was incredibly relaxing. Overall, the Mora Hotel made our trip to Zanzibar an unforgettable one, and we can't wait to return.

With Paje Beach reachable in a few steps, Ananda Beach Hotel provides accommodation, a restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a private beach area. Complimentary WiFi is provided throughout the property. I’ll be honest, this was one of the best accommodations I stayed in Zanzibar (I changed 5 hotels). The vibe here is torally different and I really hope I will come back here again. Location is perfect, on the beach. There is kite-surf club, beach bar/ restaurant and many of them are around. Pool is clean and from 11:30 til 4:30 there is nobody, so I felt like all is just for me. And is very safe for solo travellers. I really enjoyed in this place.
