Zanzi Resort Private Paradise

Very good place. Very good food and service. Private beach and pears. Best place on the island

Zanzi Resort is the best hotel experience. Love the late breakfast until 12 in the room in front of our private pool. The breakfast is super awesome and I would argue that it is better than most top breakfasts in the Nordics - even the ones that win breakfast awards. Love the fact that they don't have a room service fee and you can buy stuff for the villa at any time. Private place and very few people. So this is a place to chill. Close to Stone Town, so if you want to combine with Zafari and stuff then this is one of the better locations compared to the north and east sides. Zanzi is perfect for couples and families wanting to hang out together. If you want to see some of the long Zanzibar beaches - then I might combine with another hotel (if you have not seen the long beaches before). Some will likely be disappointed with low tide beach play. High tide is awesome for swimming at Zanzi from the beach. During low tide, you need beach-footware or use the pier. Important remark; all of Zanzibar beaches will have challenges to swim during low tide (some parts of Nungwi might be OK, but that is a busy place compared to Zanzi Resort). At Zanzi you wake up - look out into the jungle or the ocean, jump in the pool, and wait for breakfast to be brought to your room. Then you hang out and relax - perhaps explore the pier or go on an excursion, and then get an awesome 5-course dinner at night - either at the beach, on the pier, in their restaurant, or in your own villa.

This place is a Paradise in Paradise. We were accommodated in the Superior Garden Villa which was perfectly decorated for its setting and came with its own plunge pool . The resort is set in a lush forest bordered by the warm Indian Ocean . The amazing jetty takes you well into the sea for amazing sunset views and cocktails. The daily changing lunch and dinner menus ensured that no meals were repeated. The spa on the beach with its amazing treatments made for a fantastic experience. Anna and her team ensured superior service and made my stay all the more memorable and enjoyable. The dinner on the jetty was simply sublime . The spice jungle on the property made for tranquil walks and reflection . I simply loved the Zanzi Resort experience…
