This property offers access to a balcony, darts, free private parking and free WiFi. The bed and breakfast features garden views, a sun terrace and a 24-hour front desk.

We loved our stay in Kendwa Carletto Style. The bungalow was clean and spacious with a nice patio for relaxing with a book. The staff are really helpful and added little details to make our stay extra special. It was nice to get a feel for the locality on the short walk to the beach. At low tide you can walk over and back between Kendwa and Nungwi. If the tide comes in you can take a short taxi ride or water taxi. There is a really nice Italian restaurant with delicious cocktails on Nungwi beach. Can't remember the name but it's up some wooden steps, right beside the Mama Mia ice cream parlour(not the one at Kendwa Rocks)

Kendwa Beach is 300 metres from the accommodation, while Royal Beach is 2.5 km from the property. The nearest airport is Abeid Amani Karume International, 59 km from Natural Kendwa Villa, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.

One of the best hotels in the area of Kendwa and Nungwi! Our first impression at the reception was marvellous - everyone was smiley, attentive and considerate. Sally made sure we feel like home and provided everything we needed to enjoy our time in Kendwa. All the facilities, the room, pool, communal areas etc were always clean and tidy. The pool and plants inside the main area of the hotel are very beautiful and the restaurant offers many different options suitable for all tastes. Finally, the massage therapies we had with Queen (she IS the Queen) were unforgettable. Thank you all, we already miss you!

    The accommodation is right on the beach, perfect for a relaxing beach holiday. The staff were also kind enough to provide us with takeaway items for breakfast as we had an early start on the day of our departure.

    perfect location on the best beach in zanzibar. Beautiful:) loads of activities like boat trips, hair braiding, spa treatments, and all the water sports. not to mention the incredible sunset. We got the bungalow, right next to the beach with a plunge pool, and enjoyed it throughly. If we come back to zanzibar, will definitely book that kind of room again.

    We loved the location of this hotel! Kendwa beach is very nearby and it's easy to walk there. La Fontana has a great deal with Kendwa Rocks hotel for the guests to use their sunbeds on the beach. And the beach is amazing!! Far better than Nungwi and maybe the best beach in whole Zanzibar. Futhermore the staff in La Fontana was very friendly and helpful. We also loved our room, which was spaceous, clean and had ocean view. We stayed here one week, but could have stayed longer!

    the room was very spacious and comfortable, with a nice balcony and partial view of the beach. The position is good, right on the beach and not too busy. The staff was nice and flexible. Loved that they do happy hour and you can enjoy your drink watching the sunset on the loungers.

    We had an amazing stay at Lazy Beach hotel, directly at the beach (front row). Great value for money: very friendly staff and owner, reception lady speaks English and French, breakfast is served on the rooth top terrasse with a beautiful ocean view. Delicious breakfast (fresh fruits, fresh juice, egg/omlett etc, bread, ect). Barbeque beach restaurant next door. Evening entertainment (artists) on the beach. Other beach hotels and reataurants in walking distance. Very good water pressure.

    The hotel is at the biggest part of Kendwa beach where the sand is extremely white and the ocean is always great to swim in. you can snorkel in the ocean as the coral is very close. The hotel has a great restaurant and a bar right on the beach
