Maharaja Boutique Hotel Zanzibar, hotel in Zanzibar City

Located in Uroa, a 9-minute walk from Uroa Public Beach, Maharaja Boutique Hotel Zanzibar has accommodations with free bikes, free private parking, a garden and a private beach area.

We came to Maharaja for our honeymoon and spent the most lovely 11 days there. It was honestly the best vacation for us. The place is gorgeous, truly feels like 5 star hotel. It’s very intimate and quiet which we greatly appreciated. The staff is beyond words kind, everyone is so friendly and helpful and careful. They constantly went an extra step for us which made our experience even more wonderful. The Villa at which we stayed was sparkling cleaned every day, had everything that we needed. The food was next level!🥰 Special thanks goes to Anita who was the most wonderful host, so helpful, energy ball and a true sunshine of the place ❤️

Zanzi Resort, hotel in Zanzibar City

Zanzi Resort is nestled along the shores of the Indian Ocean, just 9.3 mi from the historic town of Stone Town and a convenient 30-minute drive from Zanzibar International Airport.

A-ma-zing, that is the best word to describe our stay at this hotel. Although I can write a whole essay on our stay I will try to keep it as compact as possible. You know that feeling which you get when scrolling through social media looking at all those perfect holiday spots? Well this hotel completely lives up to that expectation. This "resort" is very small and private. It consists of approx. 12 villa's, of which several are currently being renovated and a few build new, which all are separated very well to guarantee their privacy. Several of the villa's are located at the seaside, with direct access to the sea. Definitely recommended to choose one of those. Each villa is quite spacious, with a great bathroom and big doors with windows to the garden area with a (bigger than expected) pool. The main area of the resort includes a restaurant (for breakfast, lunch and dinner), a large common pool, a common sand beach (with dartboard), a jeux-de-boules area, a fitness area (with basic equipment, but functional) and a massage house overlooking the ocean. The restaurant offers a very wide range of both common and local dishes for breakfast, which you can choose a-la-carte. For lunch there is very nice and tasty range of options as well. And for dinner there is a 5-course menu with options for the starter, main and dessert. Each meal is an absolute treat, amazingly tasteful, well portioned and presented beautifully. Last but not least, the staff... Just wow, amazingly friendly, very helpful, making everyone feel very welcome, almost as if you are staying with your family. We were here for our honeymoon and to be honest we could not have picked a better place. Highly recommended!

    The convenience of having golf facilities just steps away from my accommodation, combined with the service and amenities of the hotel, made for a truly good stay. I would highly recommend this hotel to any golfer looking for a golfing experience paired with the comforts of a luxury retreat in Zanzibar. After all the hotel has the only Golf Course in Zanzibar.

    Mizingani is situated so perfectly if staying in Stone Town, we walked 150m to meet our stone town tour guide at the Old Fort. The night market is 100m away and worth seeing. Perfect for a short stay in stone town before heading to the beach resorts.

    We booked for a short stay in stone town having been at a beach resort for the majority of our holiday in Zanzibar. Location was ok but down an alleyway which I wouldn't want to walk down at night.

    The view from this hotel is excellent. The bed was comfortable. One could walk down to the beach easily. If you are on a very tight budget, this is an ideal place to stay, do not expect the usual luxuries associated with beach resorts. If you like a rustic feel of an old inn, with weathered walkways, steps and exteriors of the buildings, then you will be at home.

    We spent 2 nights in this place. our goal was to play golf in there. what can I say - it’s a big resort hotel, there are a lot of activities you can do. they have tennis, golf, billiard and mini-golf there are several swimming pools a lot of plans, ocean view is really nice about the room - it’s a big old-fashioned and maybe need to fresh a bit, but clean and comfortable to problem with water pressure (what is normal in Africa) we had all-inclusive, they have enough variety of food you can choose

    Close to Zanzibar airport. Just 15-20 minutes to walk. Check-in from 12.00 - very convenient, if you are traveling from beach resort. Caffe-bar close to reception, opened all 24 hours. Fridge and TV set in the room - not common for the hotels in Zanzibar.

    The staff were very helpful and friendly. The bar and restaurant are amazing and the pool is wonderful. It's also on a beautiful quiet beach. The rooms are comfortable and the staff put in a lot of effort to make your stay memorable. The gardens are also stunning. I would recommend it to anyone who prefers a quiet beach resort. I would definitely go back.
