What makes Palmera so special is its inspiring mission. The hotel and restaurant operate as a hospitality school for local young women, and the exceptional service they provide is a direct reflection of their training. From their warm smiles to their impeccable attention to detail, you can feel the genuine pride they take in their work. The hotel's setting is pure paradise. The infinity pool overlooking the turquoise sea is mesmerizing, and the lush, immaculately kept gardens create a perfect oasis for relaxation. It was wonderful to be able to walk barefoot through the fine sand and simply enjoy the tranquility. For anyone, but especially for vegans, the restaurant is a must-visit. The creative and delicious vegan dishes, all beautifully prepared and presented by the talented students, were a true highlight. It's a testament to the high-quality training they are receiving. The breakfast, in particular, was the best I had during my three-week stay in Tanzania, the homemade warm bread and homemade chocolate spread were unforgettable. For lunch and dinner, with main courses priced between $11 and $13, it offers exceptional value. This 15-room hotel is a quiet retreat. I stayed when it was almost empty and had no issues with noise, but even when full, the large garden and pool area should provide plenty of space for guests. The price range for double rooms in the 2025 high season was 70-100 USD. All rooms face the sea, though the view can be a bit limited from some of the downstairs rooms. While the large windows are beautiful, the curtains don’t fully cover them, which could be a privacy concern for some. I prefer a firm mattress, and the bed was perfect for me, but it might be a bit too hard for others. The solar-powered hot water worked flawlessly. The road to the hotel is a little bumpy on the last kilometer, but there are plans to improve it. In the bathrooms, I would have appreciated a bit more space to dry towels, or a drying rack on the terrace.

Fantastic place, vey airy, gigantic room, lots of space in common areas, super nice swimming pool, electricity 24/7 (thanks to solar panel), owner/manager is on site and a very nice fellow. Food at the restaurant is very tasty at excellent price. In my opinion this is the best place around (and excellent value for money)

Kizikula is nothing short of magical. The design throughout the entire property is intentional and beautifully thought-out, from the elegant rooms to the stunning pool. Every detail has been carefully considered, creating a space that feels both luxurious and inviting. The food is delicious—every meal felt like a treat. The size of the property makes it feel personal, and it’s so well looked after. The team made our stay unforgettable. Shaib is the best barman and barista, making every drink and coffee with such care. Norice gave us the warmest welcome and made us feel at home right away. Enoch always greeted us with a big smile, and Mary took such good care of us the whole time. The entire place is impeccably maintained, showcasing the care and pride that goes into every corner of Kizikula. This is more than a stay—it’s an experience, and I can’t wait to return!

It’s a really nice off the grid place. The Maasai Warriors work to serve food for breakfast and other meals which is very authentic. it’s a very nice location with walking distance to other beaches where you can do scuba diving and just enjoy the local vibe. The local food is very nice and breakfast is good.

Promised Land Lodge

Kizimkazi (Near Dimbani)

Located on the South Coast and 1 km away from the village of Kizimkazi Mtendeni, Promised Land Lodge faces the sea and is surrounded by a tropical garden.

- the hotel is located outside the village, so you can enjoy the birdsong and peace (you can walk to the village in 15 minutes by road, or 10 minutes by the beach when the tide is low. Nearby you can find unique restaurant Stonne Village). - there are countless sunbeds, hammocks, swings on the hotel territory, so everyone will find their perfect place. - reggae vibes everywhere. A real paradise for Instagrammers. - absolutely delicious breakfast (especially fruit and pancakes). - some of the comments I read before I booked stated that the hotel has no beach and swimming area. Nonsense. When the tide is high, you can take the steps down into the water, just wear water shoes because there are rocks at the bottom. The water is calm, warm and extremely clear (unlike the Kiwengwa I visited later). - pool! - friendly staff. To recap: I spent a week at Promised Land Lodge, then stayed at another hotel in Kiwengwa village. And I must admit that the week in Kizimkazi was incomparably more impressive. The views are breathtaking, everything here is like a work of art. Moreover, Kizimkazi has fewer tourists than, for example, Kiwengwa. And people here are much more nicer with wider smiles. I will definitely come back here!

The staff and manager were incredibly helpful, nice and tried their hardest to make us feel welcome. Restaurant has a pretty decent selection of multiple cuisines and everything is tasty, especially their cake! The hotel is located on first line with direct exit to beach. Perfect for watching sunset with a nice cocktail! We had a special reason for our trip, and they went on extra lengths to make our stay special. Definitely would stay here again!
