Set in the Kiwengwa Beach district of Kiwengwa, Kiwengwa Beach Resort is 10 km from Kichwele Forest Reserve and a 3-minute walk from Obama Beach Club Zanzibar. Offering a restaurant, the property also has an outdoor swimming pool. The resort has a garden and provides a terrace.

We had a fantastic 10-day family holiday. The hotel's location is right on the beach, which is cleaned every morning. At this time of year, there was some seaweed, but not too much. The hotel's territory is very green, featuring a few turtles and parrots in the yard and cages, as well as many large wild lizards (guru-guru) roaming around. The kids were amazed. We had two separate rooms. One was very large in a bungalow with two apartments next to the beach and the sea-water pool. The second was also well-sized, about 100 meters from the beach. We enjoyed all three restaurants. Each is worth trying, but the African one was a very pleasant surprise for everyone, including the kids. More than anything, I would praise the staff. They are all very kind and friendly, always trying to help and doing their best for the clients. Thank you all for the incredible memories: the reception team, client manager Angela, and Zabron, the big boss of the main restaurant! We celebrated our son's 7th birthday, and in addition to the famous "Jambo Bwana Hakuna Matata - Happy Birthday" song and the cake, which everyone gets from the restaurant team, we were allowed to use the romantic beach boat as a private venue. It was beautifully decorated and reserved just for us. This was the best child's birthday celebration out of all 40 attempts so far. Local people on the beach can generally be trusted, at least for booking reef excursions with a small booking fee. From our experience, the price should not exceed $10 per person or $30 per boat. I recommend bargaining for everything, as a price reduction of about 50% can usually be achieved. Every person on the beach will try to sell excursions and taxi services, which can be annoying, but also useful if you plan to travel somewhere. Usually, it is cheaper to book with one of them and then negotiate with the same person or driver for the rest.

It’s on the east side of the island, much quieter & secluded than Stone Town. the staff was wonderful & respected our privacy. The food was excellent—- Italian chef cooked great dishes ( I wish he wouldn’t have yelled at his staff so much!) They were helpful with taxis & excursions. We have no complaints at all & really enjoyed our time there, we also felt very safe!

    Kiwengwa beach resort has exceptional staff . We came hoping to spend just one night at the resort but we ended up stretching the stay to 4days . We were hosted like royals . The food ,the rooms- especially the family rooms we used to,the view - ooh my exceptional, and finally the stuff - ever smiling, helpful and very kind . Our employees from most of our branches will have to come for this experience or maybe we will have representatives and probably we will arrange for a short seminar with your consent on public relations and customer care
