Located on the coast of Kiwengwa, Zanbluu Beach Hotel offers ocean and garden views. The property offers an infinity pool with views of the ocean, as well as a pool bar. Some rooms have a private swimming pool. Zanbluu beach resort exceeded all our expectations during our 7-night stay! The room was nothing short of luxurious, with every detail meticulously attended to. Waking up to the breathtaking view of the ocean from our bed was like a dream come true. Our stay was a gastronomic journey with every meal presenting a delightful surprise. From tantalizing seafood dishes to local vegetarian delights, the culinary experience at Zanbluu surpassed all expectations.

Evergreen Bungalows offers beachfront accommodation in Bwejuu. The property has a private beach area and bike hire and car hire are available. Zanzibar City is 37 km away. Free WiFi is offered and free private parking is available on site. Absolutely everything about this place exceeded our expectations! It's an absolute must-visit. We were particularly impressed by the owner's commitment to sustainability, evident in their refusal to use single-use plastics. Instead, they offer fresh water in glass bottles and provide stainless steel straws with each drink. The staff's kindness extends beyond humans, too - their furry friends, the dogs and cats, are clearly well-loved and cared for. Another thoughtful touch is the daily visit from staff around 6 pm to spray the room with bug repellent - a lovely added convenience. Overall, we can't recommend this place highly enough!
