Off the beaten track , just 15 minutes from Nungwi and Kendwa’s party scene, lies Sazani Beach Lodge located above a secluded cove. Once our family beach house, Sazani Beach provides the hospitality of a private lodge. Our rooms with attached bathroom, with traditional four poster beds and reclaimed dhow wood furniture, are connected to our quiet beach with sandy paths through our tropical garden. In our Tidal Lounge with its unparalleled ocean vista, you can enjoy a set menu, hot and cold drinks,with complementary WI-FI for paying guests. Sazani Beach has a strong sustainability ethos, our power is solar, we limit our use of plastic to the absolute minimum, our water is boiled and filtered and served in glass bottles. Our food is sourced locally and responsibly and our meals combine Zanzibar spice island cuisine with inspiration from our family’s travels. Sazani Beach has been constructed using local materials and methods as much as possible, resulting in a rustic charm. Fresh water is becoming scarce on the island so we DO NOT have a pool. Instead we have the ocean and an award winning beach. Our power is solar so we DO NOT have AC, TV or fridges in rooms. Instead we have fans and a prevailing sea breeze. We are small independent and working towards a vision where tourism can coexist with our host community without depriving it of access to essential natural resources they depend upon.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.

    The staff is exceptional. The food and the location were perfect too. If you are looking for privacy and staying away from the noise that’s the spot. The beach is private and very beautiful.

    My stay at Sazani was great, it met my needs for my standards. The room was confortable and big enough for me, the "private" beach when high tide is great and as it's out of the village and the tourists crowds, you'll feel like on a private spot!...
