1st review: I stayed at Zanzibella with my friends and it was absolutely wonderful. The friendly and welcoming staff, the food in the restaurant was fresh and had a big variety. My favourite part of the hotel was the big infinity pool! I will come back definetely next year! Thanks Zanzibella!

Beautiful location. Property is new and neat. The staff are very hospitable. The hotel is very close to the beach, around 3 min walk. The breakfast was very varied and tasty (for each day of a week you will have different breakfast) it also includes fruits and eggs prepared on your choice. Wi-fi connection is stable, hairdryer, fridge are available. Nice area near the pool. You can enjoy drinks on the bar.

The most welcoming hotel I’ve ever been to. Khalid must be the most hands on and facilitating manager I’ve ever met. Start to finish, the staff did everything they could to make us happy and booking trips was so easy and way cheaper than online. They know the island so well and are happy to answer any question. The hotel itself is beautiful. Very comfy beds and can walk from the room out to the pool. The scenery is outstanding and the value for money is insane! If you’ve any doubt about booking, just book, you won’t regret it! Would defo stay here again. Ps; massages are great too!

It was calm comfy and nice mix of beach with nature (for couples and families it’s amazing). They prepared a little detail on the bed to welcoming our honeymoon (our first impression was top) The buffet was changing a little bit per day so good (the juice, crepes, Spanish egg, fresh fruit and avocados…) the staff are so kind and helpful they help to get tuk tuk if you want to go around paje Have the beach just in front and have beds to tan , there’s a security guy there always + they offer clean towels all the time to use in the beach. There’s a little store too if you want to buy some necklaces,clothe or souvenirs to Daniel (he is the kindest) You can walk by the beach and go to other restaurants around( we did our night walks around the beach with the moonlight) We definitely will comeback!!

BOOK BOOK BOOK I don’t know where to start as we are still mesmerised as everything was 10/10. Location: Perfecto If you want a central place but not directly on the busy main however a 10-15 mins walk to the main nwngwi beach then look no more ! Amazing views from the balcony and the sound of the soothing waves at night ♥️🌊 Facility: 100/10 Clean , organized, authentic , everything you need is there with the best quality Kettle , fridge , toiletries,safe, everything you think you need Food: Breakfast was 💯💯 full of variety and tasty Beautiful fresh and cool fresh plate of fruits before your food And a different layout for the breakfast plate every morning full of fresh and tasty food Did not feel bored as we were surprised everyday with something different Big portion I was normally full till the evening for dinner ! Amazing restaurant Staff: 100000/10 Having been to many hotels in different countries I can confidently say .. this feels like home, they feel like family and I felt like ROYALTY 👸 Attentive to you at all times, they are there before you ask, literally a thought away 💭 Always smiling and cheerful We stayed there for our honeymoon and my oh my were we pampered. We had daily special fresh juice mock tails, snacks when ever we were chilling in the sun beds They would come with towels when we return after a swim before we ask We were spoiled rotten, no other hotel will ever live up to this Thanks Beatrice, Nancy , and each and every one for making us feel like home And last but not least Ahmet 💯 He is the owner and ALWAYS around physically and even when we bug him at 10pm asking about recommendations for places and activities.

Me and my partner have been to many different hotels on Zanzibar - Baladin is on our top 3 list. Reasons are the excellent location at a beautiful beach, the really nice rooms which is very well kept, the amazing food from the kitchen and the really friendly and caring staff. We will very certainly return again. Other plus points: Not many Massai on the beach, which can be a real hassle in other areas. Other food options nearby in case you do want to change things up - although this is one of the best spots to eat at. Rooms are pretty big so can very comfortably host a couple with 2 kids or a group of friends. Other than that the place is perfect for romantic getaways. The whole operation runs very smoothly - might be due to the steady hand of the Swiss Manager and her partner - in anyways you can see things are taken care of.

Food was great, option to eat at the beach. The place offered various activities during the day/evening so you can't get bored. Tried the SPA (couple program) which was good value for money. Also booked the romantic dinner on tthe beach, which was outstanding. Staff was very helpful with organising it

Tulia was an absolute beauty- luxurious. The staff service was top, the details on the building, the place is soo serene. I can’t praise it enough… it was calming. Michaelle treats you like you are her only guest- with much care and attention. They do fine dining so there is two options to pick on for main course each day- which might be limiting for some. It was not the case for us. We loved Tulia and hope to be back again next time in Zanzibar!

There are a lot of hidden costs when coming to Nungwi.

There are a lot of hidden costs when coming to Nungwi. If you book any excursions, be prepared to pay double what you book for as they add on conservancy and entry fees on top. The beaches are not the crystal clear blue that you think. The beaches are highly affected by the tides. When it is low tide the beach is covered with seaweed and the water is too far out for you to swim. You only get to swim for a few hours a day when it is in high tide. If I were booking to come back to Zanzibar, go to Paje!!

Paje Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Zanzibar.

Paje Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Zanzibar. Long, wide, and naturally wild, with white sand, turquoise water, and endless space to breathe. The tides create constantly changing scenery, and the beach never feels crowded. Perfect for long walks, swimming at the right tide, and watching kitesurfers. Relaxed, authentic, and unspoiled — a place you want to return to.

Jambiani Beach is one of the most beautiful and authentic beaches in Zanzibar. Long stretches of soft white sand, calm turquoise waters, and a peaceful rhythm shaped by the tides create a place that feels untouched and timeless. Life here moves slowly — fishermen at dawn, women collecting seaweed, gentle evenings painted by the sunset. It is quiet, spacious, and deeply relaxing, yet full of character and soul. Perfect for long walks, swimming at high tide, and simply being present. Jambiani is not about crowds or noise — it is about beauty, simplicity, and harmony with nature. A beach that stays with you long after you leave.

Kiwengwa is an amazing place , only annoying this is the amount of African people that hassle you on the beach - men dressed as masi that are not from the the masi Maru tribe ( pretending they are ) and annoying you when you trying to enjoy a peaceful walk it is over bearing and no one wants that on their holiday - was most beaches in Zanzibar !!

Kendwa beach was definitely the best beach compared to Nungwi, especially the south part. Even in low tide it was easy to take a swim. Also the beach here is wider and feel less crowded. As on the complete stretch there were many people trying to sell you stuff but on the south part not so many ”permanent” sales people other than the ones having sheds. The Maasai roaming around are friendly but just say no with a smile and most will not be persistent in their effort to sell you something..

Michamvi is located approximately 65 kilometers from...

Michamvi is located approximately 65 kilometers from Forodhani, and the journey can feel quite long—particularly if you have just arrived in Zanzibar. The drive is somewhat uncomfortable due to the condition of the road, which consists largely of worn, uneven tarmac. Additionally, the area lacks local street food options, leaving nearby hotels—most of which are high-end and expensive—as the primary dining choices. As someone who genuinely enjoys the rich and flavorful cuisine of Stone Town, I found the food in the area to be rather bland and not reflective of its price point.
