Zanzibar Clove Island Villas & Apartments, hotel in Makunduchi

Situated in Makunduchi, 37 km from Jozani Forest, Zanzibar Clove Island Villas & Apartments features accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, an outdoor swimming pool and a garden.

I couldn't imagine a better place for a getaway than Clove Island hotel in Zanzibar. Situated on the frontline of the coast, it offers an incredible view of the blue Indian Ocean that takes your breath away at any time of the day. Upon arrival, I immediately felt the atmosphere of relaxation and luxury. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel at home from the very beginning of my stay. The rooms were spacious, elegant, and tastefully decorated, providing a comfortable sleep and a moment of relaxation after a day full of adventures. One of the biggest assets of Clove Island hotel is its restaurant, where exquisite dishes made from local ingredients are served. These dishes not only tempt the taste buds but also the sense of smell and creative presentation. The opportunity to enjoy meals with the sound of the ocean in the background makes the experience even more magical. Overall, Clove Island hotel met all my expectations and even exceeded them. It is the perfect place for those seeking relaxation in a paradise setting, enjoying luxury, the beauty of nature, and the warm hospitality of the staff. I will definitely return here many times.

Nest Style Beach Hotel Zanzibar, hotel in Makunduchi

Set on the tropical Makunduchi Coast, East of Zanzibar, Nest Style Beach Hotel Zanzibar offers luxurious beachfront accommodation.

The hotel is amazing. Situated directly on the beach, amazing sea views, amazing service. We loved everything about it. The food, the staff, everything. Spending our days under the coconut trees was the best thing we could have dreamed off with the best cocktails the bartender did for us. What an amazing place. What an amazing stay. Highly recommended. We also loved the attention Mario, the director, provided us every time we asked for places to visit or things to do. He provided us with the best trips and information about surroundings. Definitely will come back

Blue Moon Resort, hotel in Makunduchi

Set in Jambiani, Blue Moon Resort offers its guests free WiFi, private beach access and an outdoor swimming pool with a solarium.

Place is wonderfull, hotel is not big - it has about 12 rooms, which was probably the best part for me, there aren't any annoying beach boys on the beach (unlike other tourist spots in Zanzibar) or close to hotel. Place is quiet and you can just enjoy amazing viewes of the blue sea on the pier or even inside the pool on the pier. Paddle boat and kayaks were available for free, and the snorkeling around reef (about 500m from the hotel) was amazing, a lot of corals, anemones, sea stars, urchins and fishes. Food was also great, but not all meals were available every day (especially fishes and sea food - I guess it depends on the catch of the day). Staff was the uniqie thing for me, which made the stay even more memorable - Diana and her collegue (sadly I can't remember his name), who even offered us to show us local village of Makunduchi. I really appreciate their services. We originally booked standard room and we were upgraded for 2 nights to room with private pool, so we had a chance to compare both variants - I really liked the room itself at pool-variant, because it was much bigger and bit more modern with alexa music, pool itself was a nice addition, well lit during night-time, but in the same time it attracted a lot of insect, bugs and other tiny creatures, they gatherted there every evening, there are other 2 pools in public area of hotel, so I wouldn't fully agree with other reviews that private pool is a must-do and is way better, but definately it is not worse. Both types of rooms were nice though.

Coral Rocks Hotel & Restaurant, hotel in Makunduchi

Located on an ancient coral rock on a sandy beach with views of the ocean, Coral Rocks Hotel & Restaurant offers comfortable and furnished accommodation.

The view of the ocean from the room was great. It truly is a place you can go to get away and unwind.We liked the manager, Francisco's immediate response to rectify our concerns after the power outage due to a generator issue. He immediately was able to rectify the issue and comped our first night dinner and gave us a room upgrade for the trouble. The restaurant where very friendly and pleased.

    I've been in Makunduchi before and if you don't want to be in the tourist hotspot it is great! The beach is fantastic (but be aware of the low and high tides). I would recommend arranging for a driver to get around as there are many great places to visit and you shouldn't stay put in just one place.

    Due to tide no chance to enjoy the sea.

    Due to tide no chance to enjoy the sea. Beaches are long, white and quiet. Very less tourist traffic. However far away from all the attractions. Nmemba island 2 hours drive, stone town 1.5 hours drive etc

    We stayed at The One Zanzibar Resort in Makunduchi. It was a lovely stay. Away from the hustle and bustle of Stone Town. The staff, facilities, and entertainment were all good. All the staff made sure that we were looked after.

    Going to VFDL requires some consideration as to what you are looking for. If you are looking for nightlife and great culinary experience close to shops/city this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a relaxing experience in a beautiful remote location where the staff is trying to make your stay the best, this is the place to go. For lunch/dinner we choose the eco resort next-door, which had a fabulous kitchen and a pickup service although only 900 meters away. Take your own nibbles and snacks before setting off for VFDL since these are limited available. Internet is reasonably fast and allows for Netflix streaming if you are a TV addict (there is no TV in the rooms). All in all we were very happy during our stay even-though seen the 100$ fee to go and get back plus the limited food possibilities makes it a little expensive. All in all we will certainly come back to the new and improved version after the renovation !!!!

    I have stayed in other resorts on the island and as far as value for money goes, La Madrugada is in my top three. It is located in an area that doesn't get too much traffic or foul weather during high season which makes it ideal as a family getaway. It is an absolute pleasure to sit on the white sandy beach and only have to walk a few feet to return to your room. Comfortable surroundings, good food and a relaxed atmosphere are its distinguishing features. The Hakuna Matata lifestyle might initially be a bit frustrating for those used to a more fast-paced existence, but after a few days the island becomes bliss and you fall into its easy, slow pace.

    Ther is not so many palces on Zanzibar like Makunduchi, there is no typical turistic place full of travelling people, so you have a great opportunity to meet a local people with their natural environment, visit beautifull houses made with red clay
