Zuri Zanzibar, hotel in Kendwa

Situated in the Kendwa Beach district of Kendwa, Zuri Zanzibar offers accommodation with a private beach area and free WiFi. The property boasts an outdoor swimming pool, garden, terrace and a bar.

We stayed just for 3 nights but it was a good experience! very good location, very good food! The room was finely furnished (in style) and everyone always kind and smiling. At the beach and at the pool every now and then someone brings you complimentary fresh water and fruits, you feel pampered.

Gold Zanzibar Beach House & Spa, hotel in Kendwa

Located on Kendwa Beach, the oasis of luxury that is Gold Zanzibar Beach House & Spa offers guests stylish, individually decorated accommodation with a terrace overlooking the Indian Ocean or garden.

We had the pleasure of spending our Christmas holidays at Gold Zanzibar, and it was nothing short of spectacular. This hotel is a gem in a breathtaking location, set on what is arguably the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the functional management and the attentive, responsive staff. The team was both friendly and professional, always going above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay. Special thanks to Nicole, Salim, Khadidja, and the rest of the team for their exceptional hospitality! The food options were simply outstanding—high quality, diverse, and impeccably managed. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, every meal was a delight. The entertainment was perfectly balanced—enjoyable without being overbearing. One of the highlights of our stay was being upgraded to a villa. It was spacious, luxurious, and offered an unforgettable experience. The overall quality of the hotel is truly five-star, from the accommodations to the amenities. If you’re planning a trip to Zanzibar, look no further than Gold Zanzibar. It’s a paradise in every sense of the word. We can’t wait to return!

Nungwi Beach Resort by Turaco, hotel in Kendwa

Located on a sandy beach on the northern tip of Zanzibar, this Nungwi Beach Resort by Turaco offers luxurious rooms with views of tropical garden, pool and the Indian ocean.

The rooms were pleasant, the air conditioning worked well and the room card key actually worked every day of our stay which is a miracle because normally (in other hotels) you have to have them reprogrammed every second - day the housekeeping services were good. The pool area is pleasant, and the pool is well kept, but the music at the pool bar is intrusive. Have music by all means but turn the volume down.

Essque Zalu Zanzibar, hotel in Kendwa

Overlooking the Indian Ocean and located next to a lush forest, Essque Zalu Zanzibar- Life's Perfect Sometimes - Life's Perfect Sometimes in Nungwi features a large outdoor pool and a spa.

Our stay at Essque Zalu was amazing! The rooms are of good quality. The food was very delicious and prepared well. We really enjoyed the Spa treatments, especially the massage at the pool! And the absolute bonus was the kiddies club, kids were thoroughly entertained and loved every second.

Mnarani Beach Cottages overlooks the northern coastal beaches of Zanzibar, 1.5 km away from the quiet fishing village of Nungwi.

That it was quiet with no beach boys on the beach. And the staff.

    Located a stone's throw from the prestigious Kendwa Rocks & Gold Zanzibar hotels and the beach waterline SunSeaBar Beach Resort is a hidden value gem. Ample room space for a couple, hot water, cold aircon. I recommend the "USA" room with unobstructed view of the sunset over the beach from the balcony. Bonus review: Gold Hotel (10 minute walk along the beach) nightly (starts at 1930) H.U.G.E. multi-culinary cuisine buffet (with entertainment) is a must dine at 45USD/person.

    Great mid-size hotel at the end of Kendwa beach but close enough to be able to easily walk along to other areas/restaurants. The beach here is lovely to swim in nearly all the time as is safe from the extremes of tides that you see elsewhere. Lots of sunbeds as well. The staff were brilliant and as it was our honeymoon we were upgraded to all inclusive and the staff also organised a meal on the beach for us which was very kind. The rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable.

    We took the all inclusive deal. The place is beautiful and the staff are great. The food is a big buffet with seafood and on-the-spot cooked steaks, really high quality stuff. Yet we suffered from stomach issues. Though I’m not sure if it started there or just continued there. Ended up eating rice for the remainder of the stay. The massage was good

    The location is great and the beach / pool area is beautiful. We spent almost every evening in the lounge area watching the sunsets, overlooking the beach. Staff were very friendly and the food was really good. Nassor was amazing and helped organise all our trips and travel. Kendwa is definitely more of a resort hotel area in comparison to Nungwi.

    We had a brilliant stay at Sansi Kendwa Beach resort. All the staff were friendly and welcoming, and Joseph the manager was exceptional. Our room was clean and comfortable with all the facilities we needed. The food was fresh and of very good quality. The hotel has a stunning beach with plenty of sun loungers and beautiful clear water to swim in. A particular highlight was an amazing dinner on the beach at full moon, thank you to all the staff for arranging this.

    we really enjoyed our time at Sansi Kendwa beach resort. The staff were so friendly and made an amazing family and fun atmosphere - it was impossible to not be in a good mood around them. Mohammed from the reception went the extra mile to make our stay as smooth and enjoyable at possible. We really enjoyed the food and activities. We would love to come back and definitely recommend it if you visit Zanzibar! Thank you for everything!

    Kendwa beach resort was a big tick on location, ambience, cleanliness and facilities. Right on Kendwa beach, where the sunsets are gorgeous. Our room came with a great sea view, and was very clean and spacious. We had a lovely time here!
