Meet Your Host at Binta Boutique Hotel Our team members aren’t formally trained in hospitality — instead, they’re chosen for their genuine Swahili warmth and love for welcoming guests. Hiring from our local community is our way of giving back by creating opportunities for unskilled but amazing staff who bring real heart to your stay. Please be patient if our English isn’t perfect; if I (Amalie) am not on-site, I’m always available to assist you. Binta means “daughter,” and we are quite a few daughters working here. First of all, myself — Amalie from Denmark — who fell in love with Zanzibar over 10 years ago (so don’t forget to get your tips from me; I’ve been there and done that, and can help you avoid the tourist traps). I speak English, German, Swahili, and Danish — and I’m still hoping to learn Italian and French! Fatuma impresses with her incredible cooking skills, though she’s a bit shy in English. Faiza ensures everything is always spotlessly clean (currently she visits occasionally as she recently had an amazing little daughter). Sharifa will make you feel welcome from the moment you step in — she can do a bit of everything. Recently, Zuwena, or Mama Osman, joined us with her beautiful smile. You’ll also meet our friendly night guards who keep the hotel safe. And don’t forget to say hi to our fully vaccinated dogs, Ginja and Lui, and our rescue cat Luna — they’re always up for a cuddle and love making new friends! Also, lastly please note: we have two friendly, child-loving and fully vaccinated guard dogs on the property. Just let us know in advance. We can’t wait to welcome you to Binta Boutique Hotel — your tranquil oasis in Zanzibar.

Discover the Best of Zanzibar from Our Perfect Location Our hotel is perfectly situated to give you the ultimate Zanzibar experience: Steps from Nungwi Beach: Just minutes away from one of the world’s most beautiful beaches, famous for its breathtaking views and crystal-clear waters. Easy Access to Kendwa Beach: At low tide, enjoy a leisurely walk along the shore to Kendwa, or take a quick 5-minute tuk-tuk or taxi ride. Thrilling Adventures: Dive into exciting activities like snorkeling with dolphins at Mnemba Atoll or soaking up the lively beachfront nightlife. Nestled on a peaceful, quiet street with fewer neighbors, our hotel offers a tranquil oasis—your perfect retreat after a day of adventure. Yet, when you’re ready for some evening fun, the vibrant Cocobello nightclub is only a short 2-minute tuk-tuk ride or a 10-minute walk away. Nungwi has blossomed from a small fisherman’s village into a lively community where tuk-tuks are the easiest and most convenient way to get around. While Zanzibarians are incredibly warm and welcoming, like many places, there are some challenges. For your comfort and peace of mind, in the evenings, we recommend taking a tuk-tuk to get around — unless you’re in a small group. We’re happy to arrange a tuk-tuk for you anytime—whether you’re heading out to explore or coming home to unwind in the comfort of your bed. With our prime location, you’ll be ideally positioned to enjoy all the magic Zanzibar has to offer.
