Our 3-star Villa Vanilla Kendwa hotel is located 300 meters from the most beautiful and largest beach in Zanzibar, Kendwa Beach.

It offers a variety of amenities, balconies with a great view of the ocean, WiFi, a garden where you can relax on a deck chair, and a restaurant on the terrace with a stunning view of the city and the ocean. Our restaurant offers local and European cuisine, our chefs cook exclusively from fresh products. Each hotel room is air-conditioned, has a private bathroom, a wardrobe and a large double bed. Some rooms can accommodate three people.

The hotel is conveniently situated on a road lined with various restaurants and food shops adjacent to the property. There is a direct road from the hotel to the main beach, which is only a 4-5 minute walk away. The hotel is small and comprises of nine cozy-modern rooms and a top-floor dining area boasting a splendid view of the entire Kendwa area. I was impressed by the team's exceptional hospitality and willingness to assist with anything I required during my stay. As a working traveler, reliable internet is a must, and I'm pleased to say that this hotel delivered on that front.

    The location is excellent , right next to the best beach in Zanzibar . There are several cheap local restaurants and a liquor store next to the hotel. Spacious rooms with a fridge. European style bathroom. Very clean. Nice helpful service. It's very safe here. Breakfast served on the top floor in the hotel restaurant is sufficient (fruit, tea, coffee, juice, eggs). The owner is friendly and communicative. You can pay by credit card. Wifi works flawlessly.
