Set in Dikoni, less than 1 km from Uroa Public Beach, Ycona Eco-Luxury Resort, Zanzibar offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. 37 km from Peace Memorial Museum and 17 km from Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, the property features a private beach area, as well as a bar. The resort features a hot tub, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. Everything was perfect, from planning the birthday surprise in advance to our departure. And above all, everything was amazing during our stay. The entire staff is world class. The room was perfect. On the day of departure, we were even able to leave our suitcases at the reception without any problems and were able to use the hotel area/pool area until our departure in the afternoon and continue to enjoy the great service. A huge thank you also to Omar, who is super attentive and fulfills every wish. See you again!🙂

Set in Matemwe, 60 metres from Matemwe Beach, Boutique Villa Unaweza offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. Featuring a restaurant, the 4-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom. The hotel also provides free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. This was our second stay at Boutique Villa Unaweza, and it was just as wonderful as the first! The entire property is beautifully designed and stylish, with every detail thoughtfully planned. The staff, from the restaurant team to the cleaning ladies, were all incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful, making us feel truly welcome. One of the special touches we loved was the yoga classes, which are a perfect way to unwind, and the occasional live music nights in the restaurant, adding a delightful atmosphere to the evenings. The rooms are spacious, impeccably clean, and designed for ultimate relaxation. The hotel is just a few steps from a stunning beach, ideal for peaceful morning walks. This time, we traveled with a rental car, and the secure parking made everything very convenient. The hotel itself feels incredibly safe, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. For instance, our flight was in the evening, and they kindly allowed us to keep our room a little longer, which was such a thoughtful gesture. This is without a doubt one of the best places to stay when visiting this beautiful island!
