    Paradise.

    Paradise. Very long and large beach, friendly local people, very calm and quite place. We loved it. Its very save even in the nightwalks on the beach. There are some restaurants, coffee places where you can drink fresh, cocktails or snacks.

    I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water.

    I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water. The sand was so soft and almost white. I didn't like the hassle on the beach though. It was easier to stay at the hotel to avoid it. But that's not why you visit another country!

    Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest.

    Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest. That meant fewer people and tranquility which was what I was looking for during that trip. The hotel was also exactly what I need. All the facilities (gym, massage, sports activities) + excellent food at a reasonable cost. And Fatma the day manager was great. A wonderful person and soul

    We went to the Zan View Beach Bar most nights for happy hour and dinner. The beach has much more of a relaxed feel than Nungwi, which seemed more like a place for young people to get drunk whereas Kiwengwa was more families and laid-back properties.

    The property is well kept and well managed. It felt like our home away from home during our first 5 nights in Zanzibar. Solomon was extremely efficient from check in till check out. Pendo the housekeeper was always attentive and caring to our needs. The Chef made our mornings even more special with a wonderful breakfast spread. It’s location on the beach made our stay even more amazing. Nothing beats waking up and falling asleep to the sound of the ocean. Plus, very close to beachfront restaurants and a local grocery store.

    The staff was very attentive and friendly. The employees at the reception take excellent care to organize all excursions, which has always worked flawlessly. Also special requests have been no problem. We especially liked the pool area with the beautiful sea view. The room was above our expectations. Overall we are very satisfied and would recommend the accommodation to everyone. When we visit Zanzibar again, we will book here again! Thanks again guys for these beatiful days here in Kiwengwa!

    I loved my stay at Zan View Hotel. The staff was very helpful throughout our journey, always ready to accommodate us and very friendly. The location is perfect for someone looking for a quiet and calm area. I was happy to go through the village to get to the beach, it allowed me to meet wonderful people and to get in touch with the local culture. I booked most of my activities through the hotel and it went very well. I would gladly stay there again if I ever go back to Zanzibar!

    Front staff in the hotel was really welcoming and helped with all questions we had. The food was on top of the world. Breakfast buffet amazing and more then we expected. The chicken mango sushi was the best one I tried in Zanzibar. Also biriani was good. We had the seafood platter and its was so much food and the enjoyment was on top. We were possible to enjoy food both in the restaurant and also room service in the room. 10/10 Hotel highly recommended. Would love to come back

    We are an American couple who have been living in Tanzania for years. We booked confidently in this corner of paradise which is Kiwengwa, for us the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar. The villa was really good and it’s decor is lovely. The bed is comfortable (superb having the duvet) and the bathroom/shower is quite spacious. Although there were other villas nearby, ours was slightly secluded and private. The hosts really went out of their way to make our stay comfortable.

    Unlike most other resorts this one is right on the beach, there is no barrier between you and the ocean. And since it’s a small place the beach vendors (who are everywhere on every beach in Zanzibar) tend to focus on the beach stretches of the bigger resorts. This is a huge advantage. Food is great, staff is friendly and welcoming. Walking up and down the beach it was super evident that this is the best place for kilometers both up and down the beach.

    We loved everything about this place! The place is new, the rooms are lovely, very clean and comfy. It has a pool to cool off in and a nice roof terrace for breakfast or just sitting up there in the evening looking out over the pool and to the beach and sea. We stayed in Zanzibar for 2 weeks and this was the best place we stayed and the best beach. The owners and staff are very nice. Can get good seafood and other food at restaurants nearby.

    Excellent hotel with a super nice view of the ocean. It has only 5-6 rooms so, it is very calm and relaxing. Staff is extremely welcoming and helpful. They made us feel at home. Breakfast & dinner were delicious! Pool adds to the view and, although not very big, nice to chill around and relax. Overall an amazing place and our favourite in Zanzibar, highly recommended and cannot wait to come back!

    Value for money. Loved the beachy vibes; stepping out our door, feet in the sand, straight to the beach. The food was delicous and we enjoyed reading a book in the hammocks. Chantal also helped us out with information about activities and provided tips for our further trip in Zanzibar. Truly recommend this place and restaurant when staying in the Kiwengwa area.

    I stayed in la base for 5 and the experience has been great. The place is really clean and comfortable. The restaurant is located right in front of the beach so you'll definitely have a relaxing time while enjoying your meal and drinks. Thanks to the hosts Cris and Luca. They were really cool. This place is a must when you're in kiwengwa.

    Amazing location, the hotel was absolutely beautiful and the environment was incredible, so green and lush, with a clear view of the ocean. Kiwengwa in general is much quieter than other parts of Zanzibar, but that works for an even more relaxing experience. Overall 9.5/10 stay!
