We loved our time at Villa Vanilla. The room was clean, the bed comfortable and the balcony…I mean it’s something else to see the sunset directly from your room! The food was great - breakfast changed everyday, always served with fresh fruits and juices. The restaurant is also great, the best lobster I had in Zanzibar! Thanks to Alex, Dula and the great staff who took extra care of us, you made us feel very welcomed!

Kendwa beach was definitely the best beach compared to...

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..

If you are looking for white sand beach with the best ocean waters and minimal tides, Kendwa is the best place in Zanzibar. The beach is the most spacious and greatest on the island and the village provides all the necessities you would need. With many tours and water activities offered on the beach you would hardly need to move anywhere else. It is also a walkable distance to Nungwi during low tide if anyone is interested in a more bustily environment.

The sea and beach with super soft and white sand are absolutely fabulous and relatively clean. I got bitten by sand fleas on my legs because I spend a lot of time in the sea and walked barefoot. There is a lot of informal trade on the beach by locals trying to sell something. Maybe even more so if you are a woman walking alone.

The location is great, just a minute from the ocean, there are a lot restaurants both expensive and very local ones, no issues with electricity, hot shower and air-con and the safe box. Card and cash payment is acceptable. Very safe to stay and walk around even at night, the owner is very kind and trustworthy. Very basic breakfast but it OK, no TV and fridge in the room, internet is breaking so often especially in the room, but it works perfectly at the balcony. It is very budget friendly and highly recommend it.

Long walks on the beach, swimming even during low tide.

Long walks on the beach, swimming even during low tide. Some attractions are quite far and transport is expensive. Safari Blue Tour, Swimming with dolphins and turtles, Stonetown and the Serenity Spa were awesome. The trip advisor at the hotel assisted with bookings.

Great location on the beach, very nice and friendly staff, large rooms, beautiful grounds with many coconut palms Unfortunately, there is a lot of small plastic waste and cigarette butts on the beach near the beach chairs. Noise, pollution and danger from reckless jet ski drivers. DANGEROUS & Pollution

Simple, relaxed hotel at the best beach of Sansibar Kendwa. It has direct access to the beach with sunbeds and big pool. You can go for a swim at the sea at any time. Rooms are simple, spacious, with a big balcony, new bathrooms. Breakfast is very good incl. ripe fresh fruits. Very good restaurant for a dinner. Nereby are many other hotels, bars etc. quite busy area. We can recommend it for a short stay of couple days.

The garden was lovely and each room had terrace which was really nice. Rooms were clean and good size even for 3 people. The host was so welcoming and lovely. breakfast was good and versatile. Stayed there for one night because we went to full moon party and we were so glad we found out this hotel. Location is amazing (about 5 minutes by feet from kendwa rocks).

perfect location on the best beach in zanzibar. Beautiful:) loads of activities like boat trips, hair braiding, spa treatments, and all the water sports. not to mention the incredible sunset. We got the bungalow, right next to the beach with a plunge pool, and enjoyed it throughly. If we come back to zanzibar, will definitely book that kind of room again.
