Company information

We are an Italian-African couple, I am Angelica (interior designer) and I come from Puglia, and Emmanuel my husband (saxophonist) is Tanzanian and comes from Mowanza. In 2017 we met for work in Zanzibar, and we have never left each other since then. From our union the Kuwa Zanzibar project was born which we cultivated and cared for with great love, and today we are very happy to welcome guests into our world of kindness and smiles. We really love meeting people from different parts of the world, each of them leaves a small part of themselves here with us when they leave. Kuwa Zanzibar is enriched by the energies of all the travelers who have chosen to stay with us and be part of this great project.

Property information

Kuwa Zanzibar is a small corner of paradise, a wonderful nest of peace immersed in a tropical garden just 100 meters away from the beautiful Kiwengwa beach. You will be welcomed into a very intimate and authentic atmosphere that will bring you closer to the African world, never neglecting all your comforts. Kuwa Zanzibar has 6 accommodations of different types and sizes, all with great attention to design and services. Guests will be able to relax in a beautiful relaxation area surrounding the swimming pool and enjoy an exquisite and rich breakfast in the bar area under a large makuti roof. WiFi is available for free throughout the building. Inside your room, you will find a useful mini guide to learn about all our services, dear advice, and book wonderful excursions organized specifically for you that will help make your experience at our Resort unforgettable. Kuwa Zanzibar and all your staff can't wait to welcome you!

Neighbourhood information

Our neighborhood is very strategic, we are located exactly 100 meters from the wonderful Kiwengwa beach, in an area surrounded by restaurants and services, such as the supermarket, the bus stop, the taxi station, the sports center for lovers of Padel, quad rental, the local school to visit etc. We recommend events in the area to our guests and even if outside there are various activities to do, inside Kuwa Zanzibar is always the best place to find tranquility and peace when the guest wants to rest and enjoy your relaxation.
