Mayai Ocean Resort

Bwejuu Beach, Bwejuu

Situated in Bwejuu, a few steps from Bwejuu Beach, Mayai Ocean Resort features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. Featuring a bar, the property is located within 16 km of Jozani Forest. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. We had a fabulous stay at Mayai. The resort was beautiful, right by a calm and serene beach, the staff were super kind and friendly, facilities were great and food was delicious. We loved hanging at the restaurant and looking out into the beach. Would recommend 10/10 to anyone visiting Zanzibar. Special mention to the owner Mr Tord and our guide Mr Seif who made the trip extra special for us. I cannot be thankful enough to Mr Tord for his thoughtful recommendations, for preparing the staff ahead of our trip, and helping me curate the tours suited to my child. Mr Seif took us around, made sure we experienced the local culture and food, and he personally took us snorkeling as my daughter and I cannot swim. It was my daughter’s first snorkeling experience and I’m grateful to him for swimming with us and ensuring our safety. He speaks excellent English so communication was very easy, do ask for him when you’re in Zanzibar. Overall a wonderful trip and we’ll definitely be going back!

Among the various facilities of this property are a shared lounge, a terrace and a bar. The accommodation offers nightclub and a concierge service. We loved Zen Boutique so much! We felt extremely welcome and the staff were all wonderful. We were given a lot of information and offered support in organising activities. Our suitcase was lost and the staff took care of the communication with the airport, making sure our luggage arrived at destination. The Resort is beautiful and located on the edge of the forest. It was very special, especially during sunset. The food and cocktails were also very good and breakfast amazing. It all feels very new and is decorated with taste. The outside bathroom was also a very cool experience. Best place we stayed in Zanzibar, and there were quite a few. We’ll definitely be back!
