Villa Lala, hotel in Kiwengwa

Villa Lala provides beachfront accommodations in Kiwengwa. Providing free Wifi, the property also has a private beach area, an outdoor swimming pool, and a garden.

We staid at Villa Lala that belongs to the same owner therefore, we end up spending most of our time at Poa Poa (restaurant) and pool Villa Lala - the room number 1 is superb! Initially we got to number 2 (smaller in size and different setup). We got transferred to the room 1 (due to some issue with toilet) but what we discovered - room N1 was for sure Superior. It worth 💯 to pay little more but get this room! Wardrobe is soooo specious, layout is perfect 🤩 and I love its interior design more. You will have shared kitchen - to fix tea or coffee for yourself or sometime we kept some fruits in the fridge ☺️ Next door to Villa Lala you will have Poa Poa restaurant with the best food! Sooo good and good value for money. I was having grilled octopus with grilled veggies every single day 😁 soooo good! Great spot for pics as well 📸🤳 Staff is cool and caring! Good place to chill and relax Big thanks to John 🫶🏻 Highly recommended! 🌟💯

Zanzibar House Boutique Hotel, hotel in Kiwengwa

Located on a private sand beach overlooking the Indian Ocean, Zanzibar House in Matemwe features a swimming pool and bar. Scuba diving and snorkeling opportunities are also available.

I have visited Zanzibar before and stayed at a few hotels (large and small) and this is by far my favorite hotel, my kids and I did not want to leave. It was a hidden gem! The staff were very friendly, the owners were always available and very sweet and kind, the food was the best in Zanzibar. It’s a very quiet and lovely getaway. The beach felt like a private beach away from the overbearing Masai and tourists. The hotel was very cozy, authentic and unique. The rooms were spacious, the balcony was stunning and watching the sunrise every day was beautiful, AC was working perfectly, rooms was always clean and they clean twice a day. If you want to relax.. this is the place to stay! The owners and staff quickly became our family. Thank you for the most beautiful stay, we will be back again! Thank you Milo, Max, Lena, Frank, Michael, Hamed, and Rahma.

A comfortable home along a coastline that's otherwise entirely hotels. Super generous and helpful staff. Amazing view. Nothing short of five stars for the cost. Would definitely stay again, and I eagerly recommend Bibi Mrembo Guesthouse to anyone.

The House of Royals, hotel in Kiwengwa

The House of Royals in Zanzibar City provides accommodations with an open-air bath, a garden, and a bar. This beachfront property offers access to free Wifi and free private parking.

The Villa is a jewel. it was saved and restored from a nature that was literally claiming and swallowing it back. The White Villa stands Out from its beautiful green garden but without being intrusive with nature. The garden and the Door Collection absolutely deserve a visit. the room was really well designed and furnished. you have really the feeling to be in a small bubble suspended out of time.

    Besides clean facility the design of the hotel was simple and clean. Tha A.C worked really well, it was crispy inside the room despite the extreme humidity and heat outside (Apparantly it's been an exceptionally warm year). Good, comparably busy area on the coast with good restaurants outside, next to Imara. I enjoyed being with, and seeing the locals outside, infront/behind the hotel. The view from the room towards the sea :)

    Fantastic spot on the beach and amazing hosts! The whole property is brand new, perfectly cozy and clean, and absolutely authentic. The attention to detail is astonishing and the breakfast is among the best we ever experienced! We enjoyed the comfortable pick-up service from the airport. The lovely hosts made us feel so welcome, as if we found our beach home, and the beach bar fully completed the perfect picture :) Restaurants around are great too! We'll definitely come back!

    Great resort to enjoy Zanzibar! The facility is amazing and the limited number of rooms makes it intimate and authentic. Carolina and Andrej are two great hosts and together with the rest of the staff they have done their best to satisfy our requests, organize different excursions and make our stay perfect. The resort hosts a kite school and that's a great plus if you're into it. Finally the cuisine is very good!
