There should be an option for 6 stars + Wow. Words really cannot do justice to the occasion of spending just under a week at Zawadi, for our (belated) Honeymoon. Don't for a second doubt the very high reviews on this website for Zawadi - they are well earned and absolutely spot-on! On arrival we were greeted by such warmth, and Pema (the deputy hotel manager) made such an incredible effort to make us feel looked after each day. The hotel itself was flawless; the villas were incredible and immaculately maintained, the pool was lovely and the food was the best we have experienced in all of our many trips around the world. The food was fresh from the local area, and even personalised to our own tastes; an example being that I am not a big seafood fan, and thus had my menu accomodated - a very kind and unexpected touch. The private beach was pristine, clean and idyllic. The snorkelling amongst the reefs was an unforgettable experience, and saw us interacting with clown fish, clams and …

Wonderful Experience + Cannot save enough positive things about our stay at Zawadi. From the minute we arrived until the time we left, we loved it all. The property is beautiful and encourages rest and relaxation. All the staff were great, friendly and attentive. Food was fantastic; they even provided top notch gluten free options. No complaints at all. Can't wait to go back!

Unforgettable honeymoon stay + From the moment we arrived at Zawadi we felt like we’d entered paradise. Our villa was stunning - it was spacious, beautifully furnished and had the most incredible view of the Indian Ocean. It felt very exclusive but there was also a very relaxed atmosphere which we loved. It was the perfect tranquil break after a week on safari in northern Tanzania. The food and the wine, especially sea food, was exceptional. Our lunches on the terrace with the view over the private bay were our favourite part of the day. The staff were all very welcoming and friendly. We couldn’t recommend Zawadi enough. Special thanks to Innocent, Ally , Bernard, Iddy and Pema for making our stay very memorable.

10 Stars! + All of the 5 Star reviews were spot on. Arrived to Zawadi after a 9 day safari, which was such a perfect way to end an amazing Adventure. Greeted by the perfect host, Pema, we loved every minute of our stay. Villas are stunning, and have everything you can imagine wanting (warm Private plunge pool, all amenities, gorgeous sitting area inside and out, large bathtub). The views are incredible, the grounds stunning. There are games (backgammon and others) and books you can swap on site. Food is spectacular and copious, service is Four Seasons level and then some. We Snorkeled (all equipment and reef Shoes provided), kayaked but mostly relaxed. Pool is gorgeous. We did not see mosquitos. We are an older couple and loved talking and hanging out with the many honeymooners. It was just such a lovely atmosphere, everyone was relaxed, happy and grateful to be there. All of the staff (too many to mention) were amazing. I had a massage, also great. We did go to StoneT…

Paradise on earth - out of this world - would recommend to anyone! + Incredible honeymoon experience - wholeheartedly recommend this special place to anyone seeking relaxation, luxury and the most incredible villa, food and service. Each villa is impeccably clean, well appointed and restful. Sunrises are incredible and a scroll is delivered to each room daily with times of sunrise / sunset. Also - sundowner snacks and cocktails being bought to our terrace at 6pm daily were a lovely surprise. Bernard and his team on Food & Beverage are incredible - a thousand thank you’s to him and his chaps: Innocent (and his cocktail prowess!), Ally, Hamad, Iddy, Alan and Raza. The food is out of this world and so plentiful, you will never go hungry. When I wasn’t feeling 100% they went out of their way to make me something off menu. The extensive wine cellar means the all inclusive wines change each day and Bernard meticulously matches them to the menu. They’re predominantly delicious South Af…

Opulence personified + After a week and a half of safari in southern Tanzania, we chose Zawadi as a place to rest and relax in what appeared to be luxurious surroundings. We were not disappointed! From the moment of arrival to the moment of departure we were treated as honoured guests, by very professional staff and management. A special mention must be made for Bernard, the F&B Manager and Pema, general manager (or the like!). Both engaged us in conversation at least twice a day, ensuring we wanted for nothing! The spacious villa was furnished to a very high standard and kept immaculately clean throughout our stay by unintrusive staff. Enormous bed, beautiful bedding, vast bathrooms and extremely comfortable. Wonderful sea views from the secluded villa terrace, which also included a private plunge pool. Food was exceptional, each meal ordered from daily changing menus. Lunch 4 or 5 courses, dinner 5 or 6 courses each accompanied with copious amounts of very good wine, prerce…

Zawadi is like staying in a postcard! + Zawadi was the perfect place for my husband and I to relax, unwind, and disconnect on our honeymoon after an incredible but action-packed safari. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at ease — it was the most relaxed we have felt in years. The staff was so attentive and accommodating and it was such a personal touch that everyone knew each guest by name. Every meal was a treat — beautifully prepared, multiple courses, and so fresh. The pool and beach were beyond stunning — so pristine they almost looked unreal. Our villa was luxurious and peaceful with excellent air conditioning, a private plunge pool, and total quiet — we slept better than we have in ages. Zawadi is pure paradise and we’re already dreaming of the day we can come back!

Unbelievably special + Zawadi was the final stop on our holiday to celebrate retirement. We could not have picked a better place . The setting is incredibly beautiful and peaceful. The accommodation is sheer luxury. The staff are delightful and are genuinely pleased to have you as guests. Special thanks to Pembe and Bernard who always made time to chat. The food was delicious and so varied. We were truly spoilt and it was so hard to leave !

Paradise, the most perfect place for relaxing + My wife and I have just returned from an unforgettable stay at this exceptional resort in Zanzibar, and we are already planning our next visit. From the moment we arrived, everything about Zawadi exceeded our expectations in every possible way. The quality of the food was absolutely incredible. Whether it was the breakfast buffet with fresh tropical fruits, pastries, or the four course dinners with recommended wines, the food was consistently outstanding. Zawadi's food challenges many of the best restaurants I've been to. The staff here were nothing less than extraordinary. Every single person we encountered went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. From the genuine happiness at check-in to the attentive service during our meals, it felt like they genuinely cared about making our stay perfect. The villas were pure luxury. We stayed in a private villa with an ocean view, and I can’t imagine a more idyllic setting. The design was ele…

Top Tier/ Amazing Staff + Our stay at Zawadi Hotel was top tier, up until the point when my husband had a medical emergency. The staff at the hotel was nothing short of amazing in helping us through an extremely scary 24 hours. The short of it....my husband received the medical help he needed and we are forever grateful to the staff, particularly the manager, Pema, and our driver, Emmanuel, for assisting us.

Relaxing getaway + We recently stayed here for our honeymoon after the first part of our safari. Upon arrival we were greeted with coconuts and friendly staff members. The resort is intimate in that there are only a few villas, so this is the place to come and unwind and relax in the company of whoever you come with. The grounds of the hotel are immaculate and so picturesque. The villas itself are so beautiful. The villa patio overlooking the ocean and the small plunge pool is perfect. Also you can book snorkeling with the front desk! Just as most of Zanzibar, the tides are very extreme so the low tide has the water out almost a mile out. The small cove of the beach is nice but not necessarily for swimming. But definitely the snorkeling included with the hotel stay was great! The food at this resort was very good. It seems like the chef really cared to create a spectacular menu. Every meal is multi course. The staff really go above and beyond for you. Bernard really wanted to ensure w…

Honeymoon bliss + From the moment you walk in until your tearful departure, it's the experience of a lifetime. We had an incredible honeymoon. 7 nights of total bliss, relaxation, food, drink, smiles, laughs, swims, naps and cocktails. Definitely the best holiday experience we've ever had. We will be back. Special shout out to Alli, Innocent, Peter, Bernard, Hamad, Raza, Mabula, Isaac, Dez and all the fantastic chefs and housekeeping team for always making sure we felt so welcome, so entertained and so fed!

Truly spectacular + My wife and I stayed at Zawadi for 5 nights from the 25th-30th November this year and it was nothing short of spectacular. The villa was amazing, everything looked and felt new and it was always kept immaculately clean. The staff are amazing, eveyone knew our names and impressively quickly knew our preferences for food and drinks - Bernard, innocent, Ally, Raza and everyone else we met really made our stay special. The food is unbelievable, high end fine dining and surely chasing a Michelin star. The lunch and dinner menus changed daily and I only wish I could have eaten more! If you are looking for somewhere to stay I cannot recommend Zawadi enough, our only mistake - is that we didn’t stay longer. We will return. Stuart & Caroline

A place called PARADISE + Dear All, Zawadi is a place you have to experience. Where body and soul are in balance. Lush nature and incredible views, 24/7. The kindness and attentiveness of the staff is unique. Always attentive to your needs. The cleanliness is unparalleled. I have traveled extensively... but Zawadi is like home, even better. The villas are beautiful and very spacious. Beautifully decorated, each villa has its own pool. Each villa faces the ocean... If you need peace, quietness and relaxation, this is the THE place to be. For food lovers...the chef and his team take you on a journey, a treat for the taste buds. A true haven of peace. Barbara & Alexandra
