I travel a lot, and I’ve stayed in well over a thousand hotels around the world. I rarely write reviews—only when a place truly deserves it. And this hotel in Zanzibar absolutely stole our hearts. Here are the key reasons why: 1. Exceptional Rooms & Design Spacious, beautifully decorated rooms with stunning views from every villa. The interiors feel modern, stylish, and thoughtfully curated. Everything about the space feels premium and comfortable. 2. Beautiful Pool & Common Areas The pool is gorgeous, relaxing, and perfectly maintained. All common areas are aesthetically pleasing, serene, and designed for comfort. 3. Restaurant-Level Food & Outstanding Cocktails The food exceeded every expectation. Even with All-Inclusive, you’re not getting buffet-style meals—you’re dining à la carte, choosing dishes from a full menu, prepared fresh by the chef. The cocktails were equally impressive: balanced, creative, and delicious. 4. Incredible Staff & Service This is where the hotel truly shines. Every staff member was warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our stay perfect. You can feel that both management and the team truly care about their guests—and that level of sincerity is rare and priceless. 5. A Five-Star Experience (Even if It Says Four) I’m honestly surprised this is rated as a four-star hotel. The service, design, food, and overall experience easily match a five-star level. I would return without hesitation. This place is truly special.

With Kiwengwa Beach reachable in a few steps, Zanzibar Lodge has accommodations, a restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a private beach area.

We all felt very welcome, as if we were being cared by our own family. :) The lady even walked with us to the town after dark to make sure we are safe.

It was magical. This was a magical place. We were there during the strawberry full moon, and we saw rising from the beach and it was spectacular, we had a fabulous Swahili villa, so tranquil so private and the roof is so amazing, so was the view! I never felt like a queen like I did in this place, and I am not exaggerating, so lush, so green, beautiful breathtaking shores and views, this place is hidden in Gem and I feel a lot of people waste their money in Zanzibar and don’t know about hidden gems like this place!

Our family had a wonderful stay at Utupoa. After three nights, we really felt like it was our home away from home. The building is a wonder and itself worth the visit. Joyce and her team were so attentive, personable, and helpful and family-style meals were excellent. Utupoa sits directly on the beach and easily reachable by foot from the village of Matemwe. What a wonderful way for our family to get to know a corner of Zanzibar and to unwind from our adventures. Thank you, Joyce!

Breakfast was superb, location could not be beat. Just a few hundred meters from The Rock Restaurant and right on the beach. Lovely spot!
