Zanbluu Beach Hotel 4 stars

Kiwengwa

Located on the coast of Kiwengwa, Zanbluu Beach Hotel offers ocean and garden views. The property offers an infinity pool with views of the ocean, as well as a pool bar. Some rooms have a private swimming pool. The hotel looks better in person than in photos. The decoration is great, rooms have a lot of light and are clean. They clean in the morning and pass by in the evening to collect any trash or change cups. I’m very picky with the food and also Gluten-free. They were always very accommodating and they even baked gluten-free bread for me! We had dinner and breakfast included and there was always a wide selection of food. The staff was super attentive and happy. Good vibes only! They were always willing to help and organise trips for us.

Sabali Lodge, Zanzibar

Jambiani Beach, Jambiani

Featuring a swimming pool, a garden, a terrace and views of the city, Sabali Lodge, Zanzibar is set in Jambiani and offers accommodation with free WiFi.

Jambiani Beach is 400 metres from the lodge, while Jozani Forest is 26 km away. My friends and I had a wonderful time at Sabali. First we stayed in another accommodation next to the beach which we didn't like that much but then we found Sabali. Very safe. Great rooms with AC and nice bathroom. Lots of sockets. Nice kitchen with big fridge. Wonderful pool right in front of my room. Beautiful garden. Quiet surroundings. Very relaxed and peaceful. On the upper floor you can find lots of space to relax but also to work remotely with a nice view over the village. 5min walk to the beach Most amazing team and puppy Marley. Great communication with the owner Tomas. Special thanks to Saleh who was always there to help me with anything. We became friends :) I will definitely come back to this wonderful place. Thank you
