Zanziblue Boutique Villas

A beautiful oasis. We could not fault this lovely charming little hotel. The staff were amazing and so friendly and helpful, the food was good, and the setting and ambience was so peaceful. Just what we needed for a bit of R&R. We wouldn’t hesitate recommending and would definitely come back if we can

This was an amazing hotel right on the beach! It was perfect. The staff was wonderful and the restaurant staff friendly. Excursions were arranged for a fair price and included transportation. Food was great. Cold drinks in the fridge and rooms clean. Had amazing time and hope to visit again.

We had a beautiful room with a view of the ocean, which made our stay truly special. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant was terrific—we enjoyed every meal. We’d highly recommend the private snorkeling trips they arrange, especially if you want to avoid big crowds.||A couple of things to note for other travelers: the rooms aren’t overly spacious, which made it tricky to keep two suitcases open at the same time, and there were noticeably more mosquitos here than on the mainland, so bring good repellent. The only potential improvement would be if staff could take drink orders by the pool, so you don’t always have to walk to the bar.||Overall, though, a wonderful stay in Zanzibar with great hospitality and stunning surroundings.

Zanziblue Boutique Villas live the spirit of “hakuna matata”… From the very first step layed on this property to the departure it felt like being back at home away from home. Only the incredible kind, heartwarming, always smiling staff, in whatever position, makes you feel calm, safe and positive. It is an extraordinary place where sustainability and tidiness is written in big letters. This place made an extra spot in my heart and I will for sure come back! Can’t even find words to describe not only the beauty of this place, but also the feeling it gives you! Extra point to the breakfast and dinner and drinks and so on… delicious through and through! You can book trips directly from the hotel, so well organized and everything is possible “hakuna matata”. You just have to be there and enjoy. Give yourself the Zanziblue-Boutique-Villas-Tread, you deserve it!

Beautiful location with most rooms having sea view balconies. An amazing morning spectacle at sunrise. Breakfast is superb; plenty of lovely food including fresh fruit, cheese and sourdough bread. Room includes use of a shared kitchen with free tea and coffee making facilities including cafetiere and ground coffee. Highly recommended

We loved this hotel so much that after checking into our next place in Kendwa, we couldn’t stop thinking about it… so we came back! Staying in the beach huts right on the sand was a dream. Perfect location for our honeymoon.

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)

Everything was great! The rooms are very comfortable and extremely clean with great facilities including a tiny pool to wash sand off of your feet. The staff is the most kindest, helpful and attentive we had in many years - perfect service and great attitude. The food was always tasty and fresh, with lots of options for dinner and breakfast. The hotel is fairly small but everyone can find their own place. The only tiny drawback that we could think of was the location that might be too remote long-term, but we made a conscious decision while booking this place.
