Marafiki Bungalows, hotel in Kiwengwa

Marafiki Bungalows is located on the beach in Kiwengwa,overlooking the ocean.Zanzibar International Airport is a 1 hour drive away.

Perfekt place to get away from the hustle & bustle of the city and relax in nature. The room was large and spacious (Family room) We loved the Aesthetic interior in the rooms and outside. Enjoyed a great time at the beach (at low tide). Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Amazing breakfast, very tasty food… we loved the Tuna steak.

Zanzibella Hotel & SPA, hotel in Kiwengwa

Located in Kiwengwa, 41 km from Peace Memorial Museum, Zanzibella Hotel & SPA provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

I stayed 6 nights in Zanzibella all alone and almost didn’t leave the hotel because that’s how good it was! I had a nice peaceful garden view out of my room. I had breakfast every morning and for me it was enough options not to get tired of it for 6 days ) the pool was just amazing , that’s where I spent most of the time tanning and swimming over to the bar to get a fresh coconut or virgin passion fruit mojito 🥥 the whole hotel area is really large and very instagrammable! I was taking pictures on every corner ! One day I booked a massage and it was one of the best I ever had in my life ☺️ after the massage they let me use the jacuzzi which was just amazing ☺️ in the evenings I also enjoyed laying in the hammock and reading my book 📖 Every evening I had dinner at the hotel , they had a nice variety of food, I mostly went for Italian cuisine and it was delicious (especially tortellini). And by the way, they delivered the food very quickly) The staff from the receptionist to waiters and housekeeping was all super friendly and helpful ☺️ I also really liked 24/7 security, made me sleep peacefully)) I’m really happy I chose to spend my vacation in this hotel and if you’re looking for a place to forget you have a job and just disconnect, this is the right one 🌴

    Kiwengwa is a perfect place to spend time with the family.

    Kiwengwa is a perfect place to spend time with the family. Exquisit nature, kind people and the best food. Boat trips, beach activities, village strolls, getting to know the culture of local people who are very knowlegeable about the natural agriculture and extreemly kind and nice. We loved every minute of our stay at Kiwengwa.

    I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water. The sand was so soft and almost white. I didn't like the hassle on the beach though. It was easier to stay at the hotel to avoid it. But that's not why you visit another country!

    Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest.

    Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest. That meant fewer people and tranquility which was what I was looking for during that trip. The hotel was also exactly what I need. All the facilities (gym, massage, sports activities) + excellent food at a reasonable cost. And Fatma the day manager was great. A wonderful person and soul

    The hotel is a true gem. It is on the southern part of Kiwengwa village, which is very calm and has a beautiful beach right in front. The property has a very nice beach area with hammocks, loungers and mattresses where you can hang out at the beach the whole day. The food was exceptional, portion size and taste wise. And not to forget the staff, who were all very kind, attentive and made sure we enjoyed our stay. We fully recommend staying at this hotel in this beautiful hidden gem part of the island.

    Our stay at Z-Lodge hotel was really great. The food and cocktails were delicious and satisfying, with each meal leaving us impressed. The ocean's colors during high tide were a sight to behold, adding to the overall experience. Our room was interesting, featuring old Zanzibarian antique furniture that gave it a unique feel. It was a fantastic choice for a relaxing retreat for my husband and me.

    Very cozy hotel with amazing and very friendly staff and hosts. The room was very spacious with clean linens and good pressure in the shower. Breakfasts were amazing and here they can make good espresso as well. The swimming pool and some shadows around it could really provide some rest from the hot weather conditions on Zanzibar.

    I liked that the beach was accessible and there is a large swimming pool. The breakfast included in the booking was buffet style and had a lot of variety. There were also activities such as aqua gym etc. The hotel also has turn down service which was great. The restaurant and chef at the beach restaurant were great.

    Staff was very welcoming and best choice in Kiwengwa. the restaurant manager prepared some local dishes based on request. The beach was nice and less touristy considering the nungwi. It is almost in the center of island very accessible to all others destinations. My family really enjoyed the stay in the hotel.

    Seashore is a lovely quiet boutique hotel made up of rustic beach bungalows a stone’s throw from the beach and a short walk to the main town. The main strip is plagued by sellers so it was so lovely to come back to the peace and tranquillity of Seashore.
