We had the pleasure of experiencing Zanziblue for seven days as a couple in September 2025. We deliberately chose the east coast with its beautiful vegetation and rather wild beaches. ||The small boutique hotel is located on a beautiful stretch of beach with many coconut palms, creating a tropical island feeling. The white sand is extremely powdery, inviting you to take long walks on the endless beach. The hotel grounds are slightly separated from the public beach and guarded, ensuring absolute peace and quiet from the sometimes intrusive beach boys. The hotel grounds feature an enchanting freshwater pool, a beach restaurant under a tent roof, several hammocks, and very comfortable loungers. ||The few rooms are spread across four beautiful two-story houses built in the local architectural style. Each house has a communal kitchen with a drinking water dispenser, which can be filled free of charge in glass bottles provided by the hotel. ||The rooms (we were allowed to stay in a huge attic room on the second floor with a large private terrace and a perfect sea view) are functionally furnished and have beautiful bathrooms. The only “criticism” one could mention is the rather weak Wi-Fi.||The best thing about the hideaway is its culinary concept. The Swedish chef, who has been living in Zanzibar for over 20 years, conjures up fantastic fusion cuisine dishes. As a food lover, I must admit that I have rarely eaten better in a holiday hotel – it's amazing!|There is also a small but finely curated wine list, mainly from South Africa. Breakfast is served as a buffet. Cereals, homemade breads (some sourdough), various pastries and croissants, fresh tropical fruits, smoked tuna or chicken, egg dishes and juices, as well as tea and coffee leave nothing to be desired.|Lunch and dinner can be enjoyed in the restaurant, on the rooftop terrace, or on the beach.||Everything is tailored to the individual needs of each guest. The warmth and friendliness with which the hotel staff treats guests is impressive. Everything is simple, every wish is fulfilled. You feel like you are part of a family from the first to the last moment of your stay. Perfection!||Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
