    Paradise.

    Paradise. Very long and large beach, friendly local people, very calm and quite place. We loved it. Its very save even in the nightwalks on the beach. There are some restaurants, coffee places where you can drink fresh, cocktails or snacks.

    I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water.

    I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water. The sand was so soft and almost white. I didn't like the hassle on the beach though. It was easier to stay at the hotel to avoid it. But that's not why you visit another country!

    Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest.

    Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest. That meant fewer people and tranquility which was what I was looking for during that trip. The hotel was also exactly what I need. All the facilities (gym, massage, sports activities) + excellent food at a reasonable cost. And Fatma the day manager was great. A wonderful person and soul

    We went to the Zan View Beach Bar most nights for happy hour and dinner. The beach has much more of a relaxed feel than Nungwi, which seemed more like a place for young people to get drunk whereas Kiwengwa was more families and laid-back properties.

    The property is well kept and well managed. It felt like our home away from home during our first 5 nights in Zanzibar. Solomon was extremely efficient from check in till check out. Pendo the housekeeper was always attentive and caring to our needs. The Chef made our mornings even more special with a wonderful breakfast spread. It’s location on the beach made our stay even more amazing. Nothing beats waking up and falling asleep to the sound of the ocean. Plus, very close to beachfront restaurants and a local grocery store.

    They don’t smile at all. I’ve never seen that in any hotel here in Zanzibar. Food took 1h to come during lunch & dinner. I wasn’t feeling well to grab the breakfast, so my wife took me 2 croissants from there to bring to the room. And they started to fight with her because food cannot go out. Have you ever seen this ? During our checkout, the belarussian girl didn’t say us thank you for staying with us. I don’t advice to stay there ! There’s much better places to stay.

The food at the hotel was delisious, breakfast has a lot of varaties and there are plenty vegetarion options in the menu which was a good surprise to me :) The hotel has everything you need: good restaurant, a nice swimming pool and ofc view on the ocean. It is really a small paradise in Zanzibar, hope to come here again!)

    My stay was great, I had the peace and quiet I was looking for. I purposely choose an intimate hotel as I don’t like crowded places. Friendly staff, really good cleaning service, restaurant food is very good. Was really happy with the private beach access that brought a luxurious aspect to my stay in Zanzibar. As a solo traveler, I felt safe in the room and hotel itself. If I ever go back in Zanzibar, I would probably stay at Imara again.

    Almost private pool, there are just 2 or 3 rooms and you get to have a pool and a beautiful garden in which you can chill and enjoy nature. The restaurant offers one of the most genuine and tasty dishes we had in Zanzibar and everything is fresh (the owner gets the fish and the lobsters straight from the fisherman at the beach!). The rooms are spacious and clean and the staff is so friendly and kind.

    I stayed in la base for 5 and the experience has been great. The place is really clean and comfortable. The restaurant is located right in front of the beach so you'll definitely have a relaxing time while enjoying your meal and drinks. Thanks to the hosts Cris and Luca. They were really cool. This place is a must when you're in kiwengwa.

    The location is really nice. Even though the hotel itself is not really at the beach ( they have a beach bar and the hotel is like 100 m further), that beach is the best one we've seen in Zanzibar. The rooms were clean and food was decent. The ac was working fine and water in the shower was hot. Internet was good.

    Amazing location, the hotel was absolutely beautiful and the environment was incredible, so green and lush, with a clear view of the ocean. Kiwengwa in general is much quieter than other parts of Zanzibar, but that works for an even more relaxing experience. Overall 9.5/10 stay!

    Very beautiful hotel in a calm and less touristic area of Zanzibar! We had the top floor room with sea view for our honeymoon and we were amazed! The staff is also very helpful and caring, they even came to our room in the evenings to spay for mosquitos and fix the net of the bed!
