Located in Nungwi, 400 metres from Nungwi Beach, Kai Zanzibar Hotel and Spa provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. The property is non-smoking and is situated 43 km from Kichwele Forest Reserve. The perfect stay at Nungwi. I cannot explain how much i enjoyed my stay at kai zanzibar. The staff are extremely nice, they will insist to help you in every step, they wouldn’t even allow us to carry our small bags ourselves, they do. The owner is extremely nice he offered us a nice party with some friendly locals inside the hotel. The rooms and equipments are in perfect condition. I would not think twice if i come back to nungwi again. This is the most perfect place to stay at

Situated in Nungwi, 500 metres from Nungwi Beach, Oasis Blu Beach Resort-Adults Only features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. With free WiFi, this 4-star hotel offers a 24-hour front desk and a concierge service. Rooms have a balcony with a sea view. This resort sits in one of the most breathtaking and tranquil corners of Nungwi a place that feels made for a honeymoon. Honestly, you won’t find a better beach anywhere in Zanzibar. We explored Paje, Mtende, Kizimkazi, Kendwa and even the famous Nakupenda sandbank, and while each had its charm, nothing compared to the beauty right outside our resort. Our stretch of beach felt like our own private paradise, complete with its own natural sandbank and not a single crowd in sight. It was perfect. The staff and Maasai security around the hotel make the difference in your stay. This is a place we want our family and friends to experience over and over again. Our hearts are so full from the amazing experience we got to have for the 8 nights we stayed here. We are just simply blown away. Having travelled all over the world, this place now sits at the top of our best holiday experiences. Asante sana! tuonane hivi karibuni! We have managed to come away with some amazing moments and memories that will stay with us for the rest of our lives. The place is stunning, with the sunrise in the morning making you think, “Why can’t I have this all the time?” That thought just carries on throughout the day whilst having your breakfast as you look across the sea, quietly smiling inside about the experience and feeling. This continues in the afternoon when low tide arrives and the water recedes far from the shore, exposing the seabed and starfish. Our time here was not only enhanced by this experience, it was amplified by the quality of the people we met, and the joy they infused into our days. They were just wonderful. So to: Alice, Canny, Antony, Sulemani, Mina, Godfrey, Sagida, Rahema, Chen, Bashari,Ikram, Fatma, Esther! Thank you. Lastly, to Dheerendra, it was equally a joy to meet you. You have done an amazing job assembling a magnificent team of people, and we look forward to seeing you all again.
