Sunbathing by the pool was wonderful, and they provided the extra bed I requested immediately. I was really impressed by the staff’s attention, especially Khamisi at the bar, who was incredibly friendly, energetic, and kept us laughing the whole time. The overall atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and we enjoyed every moment.

I absolutely loved my stay here! From the moment I checked in, I felt welcomed and well cared for. The staff are genuinely kind, helpful, and always ready with a smile. My room was cozy, spotless, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. What really stood out were the little touches—thoughtful recommendations for things to do, quick help whenever I needed something, and a level of attention that made the whole experience feel personalized. Breakfast was delicious, the location was perfect, and the atmosphere throughout the hotel was warm and inviting. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

My family and I had the pleasure of staying at this incredible hotel during our trip to Zanzibar, and it turned out to be such an amazing experience that we couldn’t leave! We had originally booked for just 2 nights, but after the first night, we were so impressed that we decided to extend our stay by an additional 3 nights, staying until the end of our trip. That decision turned out to be one of the best we made during our entire vacation! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine care. The owner and staff went above and beyond to make sure every aspect of our stay was perfect. Their attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction made us feel completely at home and created a truly unforgettable experience. The property itself is stunning, with beautifully designed furniture made from local materials, adding an authentic and unique charm to every space. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with a balcony that gave us a beautiful view of the ocean. Sitting there in the morning, watching the ocean, was the perfect way to start each day. It was simple, peaceful, and exactly what we were looking for on a vacation. The housekeeping team did an amazing job, keeping everything spotless and ensuring we had everything we needed every single day. The hotel also has direct beach access, where we enjoyed the soft sand and stunning ocean views. The addition of private sun loungers reserved exclusively for guests made it easy to relax in comfort and enjoy the beautiful Nungwi beach. The cuisine at this hotel is absolutely world-class! We tried many other places around Zanzibar, but the food here was by far the best. Whether it was breakfast or dinner, every dish was crafted to perfection with a perfect balance of local flavors and international flair. The meals, paired with quick and friendly service, quickly became one of the highlights of our days.

Me and my partner have been to many different hotels on Zanzibar - Baladin is on our top 3 list. Reasons are the excellent location at a beautiful beach, the really nice rooms which is very well kept, the amazing food from the kitchen and the really friendly and caring staff. We will very certainly return again. Other plus points: Not many Massai on the beach, which can be a real hassle in other areas. Other food options nearby in case you do want to change things up - although this is one of the best spots to eat at. Rooms are pretty big so can very comfortably host a couple with 2 kids or a group of friends. Other than that the place is perfect for romantic getaways. The whole operation runs very smoothly - might be due to the steady hand of the Swiss Manager and her partner - in anyways you can see things are taken care of.

We loved our 10 nights stay. It is a really cosy hotel, not too big, so for our honeymoon stay was just perfect! We loved the food, the beach, all inclusive drinks, our cute bungalow with terrace facing the ocean! The whole place needs updating, sure - some maintenance, paiting or upgrating - but the first impression of the hotel and our room, was amazing. Hotel has great vibe, with beautiful flowers and plants all around. Open concept was just great! We liked the gym, it is very small but most of the times we were alone so we really, really enjoyed it! The whole team working in the hotel is amazing! They work really hard to provide excellent service for all the guests.

The property is sprawling with a gorgeous beach and plenty of lush gardens. We booked a junior suite which was really spacious with the most enormous comfortable bed. We had a few issues but they were quickly resolved and we had amazing meals at the a la carte restaurants. I have to mention ‘Wok’ which was faultless and I would go back just to dine there. We also had a romantic beach dinner which was lovely. The water-sports centre is well equipped and we learnt to paddle board, we played lots of pool and we also played tennis every day. The court does need resurfacing but it is fine for a knock about. We would definitely go back there.

Food was great, option to eat at the beach. The place offered various activities during the day/evening so you can't get bored. Tried the SPA (couple program) which was good value for money. Also booked the romantic dinner on tthe beach, which was outstanding. Staff was very helpful with organising it

The selection and quality of meals were exceptional. Leaving very early and got our breakfast at 4.30 AM - we appreciated it! The pool was clean, no complaints. The Zumba lecture with Lukman was great - should be announced more, we found the only announcement in the daily plan in our room. We liked the cocktail menu in the beach bar.

There are a lot of hidden costs when coming to Nungwi.

There are a lot of hidden costs when coming to Nungwi. If you book any excursions, be prepared to pay double what you book for as they add on conservancy and entry fees on top. The beaches are not the crystal clear blue that you think. The beaches are highly affected by the tides. When it is low tide the beach is covered with seaweed and the water is too far out for you to swim. You only get to swim for a few hours a day when it is in high tide. If I were booking to come back to Zanzibar, go to Paje!!

Paje Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Zanzibar.

Paje Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Zanzibar. Long, wide, and naturally wild, with white sand, turquoise water, and endless space to breathe. The tides create constantly changing scenery, and the beach never feels crowded. Perfect for long walks, swimming at the right tide, and watching kitesurfers. Relaxed, authentic, and unspoiled — a place you want to return to.

Jambiani Beach is one of the most beautiful and authentic beaches in Zanzibar. Long stretches of soft white sand, calm turquoise waters, and a peaceful rhythm shaped by the tides create a place that feels untouched and timeless. Life here moves slowly — fishermen at dawn, women collecting seaweed, gentle evenings painted by the sunset. It is quiet, spacious, and deeply relaxing, yet full of character and soul. Perfect for long walks, swimming at high tide, and simply being present. Jambiani is not about crowds or noise — it is about beauty, simplicity, and harmony with nature. A beach that stays with you long after you leave.

Kendwa beach was definitely the best beach compared to Nungwi, especially the south part. Even in low tide it was easy to take a swim. Also the beach here is wider and feel less crowded. As on the complete stretch there were many people trying to sell you stuff but on the south part not so many ”permanent” sales people other than the ones having sheds. The Maasai roaming around are friendly but just say no with a smile and most will not be persistent in their effort to sell you something..

Michamvi is located approximately 65 kilometers from...

Michamvi is located approximately 65 kilometers from Forodhani, and the journey can feel quite long—particularly if you have just arrived in Zanzibar. The drive is somewhat uncomfortable due to the condition of the road, which consists largely of worn, uneven tarmac. Additionally, the area lacks local street food options, leaving nearby hotels—most of which are high-end and expensive—as the primary dining choices. As someone who genuinely enjoys the rich and flavorful cuisine of Stone Town, I found the food in the area to be rather bland and not reflective of its price point.
