    The owners of the accommodation are very kind, as are all the staff. We had a small problem during our stay (not due to them) and they intervened promptly. The structure is small but very cosy.

    I had the best time in Kendwa Breeze Bungalows. The staff is incredible, so helpful, kind and willing. The place is very well built, peaceful and silent. Also, if needed, I recommend asking them for Jumbe to drive you around the town. The man is...

    I absolutely love this place, what a little piece of paradise it’s situated on a local street but through the door it’s a tranquil oasis. Not far to the beach, the owners Elisabeth & Alex are so kind and accommodating along with their dog...

The first time Elisabeth visited the beautiful island of Zanzibar as a student over 16 years ago, she not only fell in love with the natural beauty, white sand beaches and crystal clear water, but with its vibrant culture and its lovely people. She has travelled all over the world, but Zanzibar is where she feels the most at home. In June 2023 she decide to move here permanently and take over this small bungalow. In 2024 she married Alex, a local Zanzibar and together we are the hosts of Kendwa Breeze Bungalows. Elisabeth has been working in hospitality for over 15 years, from small restaurants to running a famous Micheline guide hotel in Northern Norway. We put our heart and pride in making are guest feel welcome and experience the best possible stay here at Kendwa Breeze.
Kendwa Breeze Bungalows is located just five minutes walk from the pristine Kendwa Beach, voted the worlds 4th most beautiful beach in 2024 by The Daily Mail. The surrounding area offers an enticing array of experiences for travellers seeking both adventure and relaxation. Kendwa Beach with its white sands and azure waters is perfect for swimming, just soaking up some sun or thrilling water sports like jet skiing and parasailing. For those eager to explore beneath the waves, snorkeling and scuba diving excursions reveal the vibrant marine life and colorful coral reefs that flourish in the surrounding waters. A trip to Mnemba atoll where you can swim with dolphins and visit sandbanks is one of our favourite activities. On land there is also plenty of exciting activities offered, like horseback riding on the beach, a quad trip or a bike ride around the local villages. As the sun sets, the area comes alive with a vibrant nightlife scene, where beachfront bars and restaurants pulsate with music, fire shows, and dancing under the stars. Whether you're sipping cocktails or joining in the rhythm of the local beats, the evenings promise unforgettable moments and lasting memories.
