I recently had the pleasure of visiting Caribbea Bay Resort, and let me tell you, it was an experience like no other! Situated right on the edge of Lake Kariba, this luxurious lakeside retreat offers breathtaking views, world-class amenities, and a unique Mediterranean vibe that completely swept me away.
The highlight for me was the stunning view of Lake Kariba. Waking up to the serene waters and witnessing the spectacular sunsets every evening was magical. The resort’s location is perfect for anyone looking to relax while immersing themselves in nature’s beauty.
The two large swimming pools were a definite plus — perfect for lounging with a drink in hand, and the kids’ pool ensured families had their share of fun too. The poolside ambiance, combined with the lush surroundings, created an ideal spot for unwinding.
One of my favorite moments was dining at the terrace restaurant. The blend of local flavors and international cuisine, paired with panoramic views of the lake, was simply unforgettable. Every meal felt like a celebration of taste and scenery.
Beyond the relaxation, the resort offers so much to do! I loved the beach volleyball and the supertube waterslide, which added a playful energy to the otherwise tranquil atmosphere. For the history buff in me, learning about the local Tonga culture and the legend of Nyaminyami during the Kariba Dam tour was fascinating.
The Mediterranean-inspired architecture gave the resort a distinct charm, making me feel like I’d stepped into another world. The attention to detail in the rooms and public spaces showcased the resort’s commitment to luxury and comfort.
Getting to the resort was easy and stress-free. It’s just a 3.5-hour drive from Harare or a short trip from Kariba Airport, making it incredibly accessible for both local and international travelers.
Caribbea Bay Resort is a perfect blend of adventure, luxury, and natural beauty. Whether you're traveling with family, your significant other, or even solo, this lakeside gem has something for everyone. My stay here was nothing short of exceptional, and I can’t wait to return!
