I wanted to express my heartfelt thanks for an incredible stay at The Mora in December and a second time in January. From the moment I arrived, every detail exceeded my expectations. The rooms are stunning, beautifully designed and immaculately maintained - making it a perfect retreat after a day of activities and enjoying the beach. Speaking of activities - I highly appreciated the wide range of activities available. There was never a dull moment, and the options ensured that there was something for everyone to enjoy. A special highlight for me were the fitness classes (held by Kanaan) and yoga classes (held by Sachin). Exactly what I was looking for when I screened the hotels available on Zanzibar because I love to move. Both instructors were exceptionally well-prepared, and their professionalism and passion created an inviting and energizing atmosphere. Kanaan and Sachin skillfully picked up individual needs and adapted their programs accordingly, which made the sessions enjoyable and impactful. The fitness sessions added so much value to my stay, and I left feeling rejuvenated and inspired at the same time. So if you are looking for being sportive during your stay as well, The Mora is a great fit. Thank you to both of them. The food was nothing short of amazing—each meal was beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. The variety and quality made dining a memorable experience every time. While it was excellent the first stay, I was thrilled to see that it improved even further during my second stay in January. Thank you to the attentive service staff as well - and a special thank you to Ayoub, who very attentively took care of providing drinks during my beach stays :-) Last but not least, I also booked a few SPA retreats and I need to say that the massages were outstanding and everything was very clean and comfortable.

We really liked the hotel. The room was clean, spacious, and nicely furnished. Everything was in place and worked perfectly – air conditioning, water, and Wi-Fi.The staff was really helpful - you can see that they care. The food in the restaurant was tasty, with portions just right. The beach is wide and clean – perfect for walks and relaxing. The area is quiet, ideal for unwinding. If you're looking for a nice place to relax, it's definitely worth coming here!

We had a great stay at Alladin Beach Hotel, the members of staff were always in such a good mood and really helpful to organise excursions! The room was very comfy, the bed particularly, slept like a baby for 3 nights. Breakfast was good, we enjoyed it every day! The best time was relaxing by the pool, which was the perfect temperature, with a drink in hand. Matemwe is less lively than other locations in Zanzibar, perfect for rest and for a family setting. However, you have easy access to Nungwi and Kendwa if you want to spend the day in a more crowded atmosphere (only 45 min away by taxi). The snorkelling in Mnemba is right next door, as is one of the island's dolphin spots.

It was a perfect place to start our 2 weeks holiday at Zanzibar. The property is beautiful with 4 bungalows ( 12 room ), so it’s quite familiar which we liked a lot. The dining area is fantastic, some evening with live music and even more important with great food. Last but not least the stuff is wonderful. Thank you for everything!

    It is a very cozy and wonderful place, full of nice spots to relax! my bungalow was super spacious, very clean and wonderfully decorated. I had yoga classes every day in an ideal place and really enjoyed it so much! The food was very good as well, try the zucchini pasta and the poke bowl! Everyone in salama was very kind, making you feel like home. Maria and Paco are the best hosts ever. I really hope you to come back one day

    We had a wonderful stay at Ocean views villas in north Matemwe. The villas are spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything you need. The private garden and pool are perfect for relaxing. The staff are friendly, helpful, and attentive to every detail. The breakfast is delicious and varied, and the location is ideal for exploring the beautiful Matemwe beach and the nearby attractions. We highly recommend Ocean views villas for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in Zanzibar.

    The owner is very nice, helpful and will give you all recommendations you need. She even allow me to use her phone to call the airline company and change a flight. The location is ideal, next to a very nice beach, diving centre and some bars and restaurants. The bungalow is big enough, very clean (it gets cleaned every day). The fans which help with the heat. Breakfast consists of fresh fruit, eggs, a small salad, and toasted bread. It’s simple but what you need. Thanks again
