A Slice of Paradise at Zanzibella Hotel We had the most wonderful stay at Zanzibella Hotel and can’t recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and genuine kindness. A special shoutout to Eggla, Ramadan, Josef, Richard and Maureen—along with the rest of the amazing staff—who truly made our days unforgettable with their friendliness and care. Our room was perfect: spacious, clean and the bed—massive and incredibly comfortable. We slept like babies every night. The location is a dream. Right on the beach, in a peaceful and calm setting. The garden is breathtaking, full of colorful flowers and birds singing in the trees—it truly felt like a little paradise. The hotel restaurant was another highlight. Every dish we tried was delicious, but we especially loved the daily “catch of the day” featuring different fresh fish, and the grilled octopus was just mouthwatering. Zanzibella has stolen our hearts, and we already hope to return soon!

Sunbathing by the pool was wonderful, and they provided the extra bed I requested immediately. I was really impressed by the staff’s attention, especially Khamisi at the bar, who was incredibly friendly, energetic, and kept us laughing the whole time. The overall atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and we enjoyed every moment.

Valerie

From

We spent nearly a week at the newly opened KAI Zanzibar Hotel & Spa in Nungwi as the final stop of our honeymoon — and what a perfect ending it was! From the moment we arrived, the KAI team went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. They personalized so many details for us, including a beautiful floating breakfast to celebrate our honeymoon. We stayed in a villa with a private pool, which was absolutely stunning — and yet we still found ourselves admiring the gorgeous common pool area too. When we arrived after a long safari tour, I wasn’t feeling well, and the team immediately made me a fresh ginger tea. They even arranged a dinner takeout and brought it to our room so I could rest — it’s these thoughtful gestures that really stood out to us. The entire facility is peaceful, relaxing, and beautifully maintained. Our villa and pool were cleaned daily, and it was such a joy to come back to a fresh, welcoming space every day. Mounir and the whole team were so warm and attentive — they truly made sure we were looked after from start to finish. The location is great too — close to the beach and nightlife, yet tucked away enough for some serenity. We’re so happy we chose KAI for the final part of our honeymoon and we’d absolutely come back again. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a boutique luxury experience with exceptional, personalised service! Thanks again for this memorable stay 💗

Daniela

From

Italy

The Oasis Residence was a wonderful surprise. Located in the village of Jambiani, just a hundred meters from the sea, it is a blend of modern architecture and African spirit. I stayed for two days with my family in the Deluxe Villa, a villa equipped with every comfort, including free satellite TV. The staff was fantastic, the food was exceptional, and the free shuttle service, which you can book in the morning, takes you to other stunning resorts owned by the same group as The Oasis Residence, allowing you to spend the entire day at the beach. Returning in the evening to dine on your private veranda taking advantage of the restaurant service, enjoying the view of the tropical garden and the pools, was priceless. Highly recommended!

Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 363 reviews

From the time we stepped into the property, we knew we were in the perfect place. Calm, peaceful with the sound of birds to greet you as soon as you walk into the reception. The staff are absolutely out of this world- their kindness was remarkable. I find it hard to mention all the names here, as each and every single member of staff was exceptionally warm and helpful- to find this is extremely rare. Benjamin helped us out in literally almost everything- including arranging for some medication and testaments for our baby girl. Nitin, the bar manager helped arrange a custom baby chair for her as well and checked on us everyday. The general manager himself lent us the baby chair from his house- it was a truly heartwarming gesture.The property itself is green, lush, luxurious and absolutely opulent. Going for bike rides was something we looked forward to as the beautiful Zanzibar breeze lifted us away into a magical world of nature and its bliss. The backyard pool only steps away from the sea was something we absolutely loved as well. Now coming to the food- the food was magnificent and the service in both restaurants more than perfect. Service with a smile all the way! We looked forward to the meals while we walked down or biked down to the restaurant- anticipating what would be on offer that day :) Grill station was OMG ! The dinner entertainment was also carefully selected- not too loud, just right and very very enjoyable! We will miss this stay for a long long time, no matter where we go, there was something uniquely beautiful about the place.

This was bigger than my expectations since I've red really exaggerated and false comments previous to my arrival. First of all, the room is absolutely perfect with a staff that find very creative way everyday to make you feel good in your room. Perfectly clean and spacious room and bathroom, no problems ever ( that was written) of shower or anything. Not a SINGLE mosquito or insect in the room because of the air conditioning and the cleaning, fridge full of drinks everyday, champagne brought and special attention for my birthday without even telling them ! Incredible staff, kind, smiling, I've never seen such professional and nice people ( Fatima, Paulina, Abu, Cristina, Brenda and so many more), one of the main reason among all others, that our stay was very good ! Pool is incredible, the place is incredible ( beautiful gardens well maintained with flowers and trees), beach is incredible. Yes people come talk to you on the beach, it is a poor country, they try to make money, we are in their country spending our best holidays so instead of complaining, by them something :) Food was good, the main restaurant Promenade was good, lot of choice, quality, creativity, and never boring. You have other restaurants you need to book in advanced. Once you arrive, do so immediately otherwise you won't be able to go as they are only few spots. Krystal restaurant was really really good ! Perfect service at the bar to opened 24/24 h

The property is sprawling with a gorgeous beach and plenty of lush gardens. We booked a junior suite which was really spacious with the most enormous comfortable bed. We had a few issues but they were quickly resolved and we had amazing meals at the a la carte restaurants. I have to mention ‘Wok’ which was faultless and I would go back just to dine there. We also had a romantic beach dinner which was lovely. The water-sports centre is well equipped and we learnt to paddle board, we played lots of pool and we also played tennis every day. The court does need resurfacing but it is fine for a knock about. We would definitely go back there.
