Nice hotel with a big territory and good location The hotel has a large, beautiful territory with a lovely palm garden. There are rooms located both closer to the ocean and farther away — we stayed in room 97, which was close to the restaurant. A big advantage was that we still had Wi-Fi in our room, but please note that not all rooms have internet access — it only works well in the public areas (reception, restaurant, and pool). The pool is open until 7 PM. Breakfasts are standard — nothing special. Fruits are served separately (you can’t take them yourself), and there’s no meat or bacon, only sausages. Security guards are always on the beach, so local sellers can’t enter the hotel area, which makes it peaceful to relax by the sunbeds. Shops and an ATM are conveniently located within a 5-minute walk, which is very practical. The only downside was a musty smell in our room when we checked in — it didn’t really go away, you just get used to it after a while. Overall, it’s a pleasant place with a nice atmosphere, especially if you get a room near the restaurant and ocean. 🌴

We stayed at Sand and Sunset and had such a wonderful experience. First of all, a huge thank you to the staff – they made us feel welcome and cared for from the very beginning. A young bartender and the lovely girl working at the bar were always kind, friendly, and full of positive energy. I also want to give special thanks to the pregnant woman at reception – she was incredibly caring and helpful when I had a wound and needed assistance. Her kindness truly meant a lot. The food was absolutely delicious and fresh, and everything in the restaurant was served with great attention to quality. The rooms were cleaned very thoroughly, and we really appreciated how tidy and well-maintained everything was. One small detail that could be improved was the toilet with a window facing another property, which felt like it lacked a bit of privacy. But honestly, this was a minor detail compared to everything else. I truly recommend Sand and Sunset, especially because of the amazing staff – their warmth and hospitality made our stay memorable. Thank you for everything! 🌴

We stayed here for 10 days and it was extraordinary. If you are looking for a quiet romantic place with a great garden this is the location for you. The rooms have authentic furniture and with a great comfortable queen size bed. AC in the room as well. The bathroom is basic but very clean. The personnel is very friendly and welcoming ... Amina from the reception is an angel. We fully recommend the African massage with Queen .. she will wake up all your muscles in your body 🥰. Special thanks to Ali from the restaurant very friendly and funny guy ... the food is amazing so "chapeau to the chef" . As a guest of Natural Villa you make use of all facilities from Kendwa Rocks Hotel (only 3 to 5 min walk) with the best beach in Zanzibar ... you can swim all day long, plenty of sun beds, soft sand and tuquoise water of course. Natural Villa alos offers beach towels everyday so no need to carry those with you. The parties at Kendwa Rocks are also a must. For the divers we fully recommend Zanzibar Watersports. All in all Natural Villa Kendwa is the best location for couples who want to enjoy romantic and quiet evenings with great food and surrounded by amazing people. 👏 you made our vacation unforgatable.

If you are looking for white sand beach with the best ocean...

If you are looking for white sand beach with the best ocean waters and minimal tides, Kendwa is the best place in Zanzibar. The beach is the most spacious and greatest on the island and the village provides all the necessities you would need. With many tours and water activities offered on the beach you would hardly need to move anywhere else. It is also a walkable distance to Nungwi during low tide if anyone is interested in a more bustily environment.

The sea and beach with super soft and white sand are absolutely fabulous and relatively clean. I got bitten by sand fleas on my legs because I spend a lot of time in the sea and walked barefoot. There is a lot of informal trade on the beach by locals trying to sell something. Maybe even more so if you are a woman walking alone.

The location is great, just a minute from the ocean, there are a lot restaurants both expensive and very local ones, no issues with electricity, hot shower and air-con and the safe box. Card and cash payment is acceptable. Very safe to stay and walk around even at night, the owner is very kind and trustworthy. Very basic breakfast but it OK, no TV and fridge in the room, internet is breaking so often especially in the room, but it works perfectly at the balcony. It is very budget friendly and highly recommend it.

Long walks on the beach, swimming even during low tide.

Long walks on the beach, swimming even during low tide. Some attractions are quite far and transport is expensive. Safari Blue Tour, Swimming with dolphins and turtles, Stonetown and the Serenity Spa were awesome. The trip advisor at the hotel assisted with bookings.

Great location on the beach, very nice and friendly staff, large rooms, beautiful grounds with many coconut palms Unfortunately, there is a lot of small plastic waste and cigarette butts on the beach near the beach chairs. Noise, pollution and danger from reckless jet ski drivers. DANGEROUS & Pollution

Kendwa being on the north side of the island and close to Nungwi is great for travellers who enjoy a festive party vibe ,there are many pubs and resorts that are always having fun functions, there are many water activerties to enjoy eg: sailing, fishing, diving, kayaking,snorkling and many more, Kendwa also bosts a sky diving club and horse riding,for those who enjoy self driving the roads are in good condition from Stone Town I would however sadjest using the back route via Tunguu excellent roads and sceanic forestation.

Perfect location, certainly the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar and not affected by tides! Beautiful place for holiday! Cleanliness of the room, cleaned every day. Very good wifi and coverage even on the beach. Very good price-quality ratio compared to other hotels in Kendwa. Good quality of food on the beach, served also on the sunbeds. Very cute local acrobatic dancers, Maasai and souvenir and excursion sellers on the beach, not to much intrusive. You can always have a little chat and joke with them. We enjoyed our holiday very much!

Everything. Right after we came we felt like we’re in paradise. We got welcome juice :) We were here on our Honeymoon, so we had our room decorated 🫶 Servis of hotel was the best. Everyday room cleaning, everyone was helpful and always smiling. Staff is still working on something so hotel can be even better. The beach was probably the best in the Kendwa area. Yes, and the food was delicious. Always so many options! First time a did not even want to leave to go home 🩷
