Light of Zanzibar Hotel is located just a 2-5 minutes walk from the stunning Nungwi Beach (depending if you go through the town or straight to the beach). It has everything you might need, comfortable beds, hot water, mosquito nets and AC. There is a fridge outside your room which you share with the two other rooms on your floor to keep your water nice and cold. Paul and all the other staff are absolutely wonderful, kind and very helpful, just ask if you need anything, they will definitely do all they can to help you out. The served breakfast is always delicious, it varies a little every day so you never eat the same thing. Once we had to take our breakfast an hour early and everyone was so nice that we left with satisfied stomachs. If were ever back to Zanzibar, we’ll stay here again!

Featuring a private beach area and views of sea, RoRi Private Luxury Villas is a recently renovated villa located in Bwejuu, a few steps from Bwejuu Beach. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The restaurant serves African and Caribbean dishes, as well as Catalan and Chinese cuisine. We had a very pleasant experience in the RoRi Private Luxury Villas. The villa offers a calm and private atmosphere, which made for a relaxing stay. The staff were always helpful and attentive, ensuring I had everything I needed throughout my time there. It’s also in a great location, with a lot of restaurants in a 5-10 minute walk away. The area is really peaceful, and there aren’t many people around, so our stay was incredibly private. There is a village where you can buy fresh mangos, bananas, and pineapples (about 10 minutes walk). The villa itself is well-equipped, featuring two bathrooms, air conditioners, a water cooler, Nespresso coffee machine, big selection of tea bags and soft drinks in the fridge, which was a nice touch. It's also well equipped for cooking if needed. Our villa had electrical outlets that fit both European and British standards (and USB as well) so we could charge our phones without adapters. Overall, we had a comfortable stay and would recommend the place.

It is set 27 km from Jozani Forest and offers full-day security. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. I love everything about the property, very close to the village where you can find supermarket, restaurants, and any other kind of tour that I was looking for. 1min walking to the beach , not packed beach and with very chilled vibes, perfect for couples and families. The rooms are beautiful and comfortables, details oriented. Pool just for us anytime we wanted , and the fact that they don’t do the cleaning everyday for the climate impact we found it very ecological and nice, something that we appreciate.
