Mahali Zanzibar

Hotel in Paje Beach, Paje

Featuring a private beach area, a year-round outdoor pool and free Wi-Fi, Mahali Zanzibar is set in Paje, Zanzibar. The hotel features a sun terrace and views of the sea. Staying at Mahali Zanzibar was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and a genuine sense of hospitality. My room was stunning, with a breathtaking sea view that perfectly captured the beauty of Zanzibar. The cleanliness and comfort were impeccable, and each day felt like a piece of paradise. One highlight I’ll never forget was their signature Mahali cocktail—the best I’ve ever had! I find myself already missing its unique taste, a true testament to the thought and care that goes into every detail here. A special mention goes to Mr. Wifi Abdula, whose exceptional customer service made my stay extraordinary. From day one, he was attentive, genuinely friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure I was always comfortable. He truly understands what it means to make guests feel at home, and his kindness left a lasting impression. Situated right in the heart of Paje Beach, Mahali Zanzibar offers a perfect balance of relaxation and local vibrance. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable escape. Mahali Zanzibar, thank you for the wonderful memories—I can’t wait to return!

Infinity Beach Boutique Hotel & SPA

Hotel in Matemwe

Located in Matemwe, a few steps from Matemwe Beach, Infinity Beach Boutique Hotel & SPA provides accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a private beach area. The experience was idyllic both for location and facilities. It is truly a bespoke boutique hotel, run with great attention to detail by Malgo and Tomek. From the moment of arrival you are made very welcome and special. The accommodation is spacious and well designed for privacy from the other rooms, yet looking out towards the Ocean. The breakfast includes fresh juicy local fruit, as well as a substantial main selection guaranteed to set you up for the day. Meals are available throughout the day, individually prepared with an awesome selection of locally caught fish - the seared spiced Tuna was a delight. The staff from the nearby village were lovely, incredibly helpful and cheerful. The proprietors were very helpful in arranging airport transfers and proposed trips to Stone Town, fishing trips, spice farm visits - with all costs transparent when settling up at the end. I made full use of the scuba diving school 100 metres away along the beach, who arranged snorkelling/dive trips to Mnemba island with its reefs shoaling with diverse species of fish. The infinity beach is a special place with a family feel - and a refreshingly pleasant swimming pool.

Baobab Africa Lodge Zanzibar

Hotel in Mtende

Located in Mtende, 22 miles from Zanzibar Butterfly Centre, Baobab Africa Lodge Zanzibar has accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. I travelled with my kids and to be honest this place did not feel like a lodge or hotel, it felt like home away from home. Everyone from the owners Eric and Sophie to all the staff were so warm, friendly and welcoming. They made it so hard for us to leave. We really enjoyed our vacation and we will for sure go back there. Thank you to all of the Lodges staff and a big thank you to Eric and Sophie for make our trip a memorable one. We will always remember this holiday.

TIANDE Boutique Hotel

Hotel in Pwani Mchangani

Located in Pwani Mchangani, a 3-minute walk from Pwani Mchangani Beach, TIANDE Boutique Hotel provides accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. The property is so pretty- the gardens are beautiful and it’s a quick walk to the beach. Although TianDe isn’t directly on the beach, Mariola (the owner) has a friendly relationship with a neighboring hotel that is first row, so guests can spend time there during the day. The bar and restaurant area are lovely and the food is yummy and fresh- we tried breakfast, lunch and dinner. The pool is sparkling, and the staff is warm and hard-working. Our room was clean and comfortable, with A/C, tea/coffee, good shower, nice decor. Mariola and her boyfriend live on site- they are doing a fantastic job running TianDe with a lot of hard work and love. We wish them success and will recommend to TianDe to anyone traveling to Zanzibar.
