Beach Hotels in Michamvi

Good choice of breakfasts, located on beach. Attentive staff.

I could honestly write a 10-page article in praise of Shanuo. Firstly, yes. It’s every bit as beautiful as the pictures would have you believe. (With that said, there’s no way to truly capture the beauty of this place through a camera lens. You just have to go there to see that for yourself). Surrounded by coconut trees and brightly coloured tropical flowers, the bungalows overlook the Indian Ocean - a morning dip is a must! My room was clean and comfortable and I was provided with everything I might need during my stay. Although Shanuo doesn’t have its own restaurant, I can honestly say this has no impact on your stay at all. The breakfasts are generous and Shanuo provides drinks and snacks (at a small fee) if you’re feeling peckish. There are several neighbouring properties along the beach with restaurants. I promise you won’t go hungry! Secondly, the staff are incredibly accommodating and helpful, and you’re guaranteed to be met with a friendly smile and an enthusiastic “Jambo” 100% of the time. If you need anything, you just need to look up and someone is there to assist. A big thank you to everyone at Shanuo, but especially to Na who brought my breakfast every morning and who I had lovely chats with, to Daniel who cut copious amounts of fresh aloe vera to tend my sun burn, and of course to the manager, Gillian, who is energetic, friendly and builds meaningful connections with her guests which she uses to tailor her travel tips especially to your needs. This team creates an atmosphere that truly makes you feel as though you’re ‘coming home’. There’s so much more that I could say, but anyone reading this will begin to think I’m exaggerating. I’m really not. Do yourself a favour and just book! I’ll certainly be coming back here on my next Zanzibar adventure.

The hotel and staff were simply amazing. They went out of their way to accommodate us, even to the extent of buying something we needed from Stone Town (1:30h away) and bringing it to us at the hotel. Also, the food was really good! We enjoyed local seafood and drinks. The room was amazing; we had a free update to a Seaview room! The beach in front is super beautiful as well. Overall very private, quality hotel; not a touristic one at all. It felt like being at home. We can't wait to be back.

The hotel was modern, clean, great service and staff. We felt at home there, complete privacy from the surroundings. I would also like to thank Sherly for her helpfulness and willingness. Thank you and greetings from Prague :)

The resort is really breathtaking. The staff is very friendly and the food really nice. The perfect place to just come and relax

Bedrooms with AC and seaview! Right on the beach with private swimming pool and sunbed. Good restaurant good food. Delicious breakfast. 5minutes walk on the beach to reach TheRock restaurant. We really appreciated the staff of this hotel! They was nice polite and happy people. Michael helps us on our late check in at 01am in the night , he provide us everything, information and also a lighther who i asked . ASANTE SANA

As the name says, it a real Nature's Retreat.. Beach is few min away but it's all private.. Probably you will have all the kilometres stretch of beach only for you.. Cleanliness is pretty notable, the staff is pretty hard working. Manager Martina and her assistant Sicilia are pretty good.

After the safari adventure, we spent four unforgettable days at Zawadi Hotel in Zanzibar this September. Without a doubt, this is the best hotel we have ever stayed at, and it deserves every bit of praise. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the sheer beauty of the property. The entire area feels like a slice of paradise, with lush, manicured gardens and vibrant flowers creating a tranquil oasis. Every detail is carefully attended to, making the surroundings feel magical. The villas were absolutely spotless and beautifully designed, offering the perfect blend of comfort and luxury. The highlight of our stay, however, was the food. Every meal was served à la carte, and each dish was excellent—imaginative, delicious, and prepared with great care. Dining at Zawadi was a true culinary delight. The staff at Zawadi set a new standard for hospitality. From the warm and welcoming reception team, especially the lovely Noura, to the attentive F&B staff and even the gardeners, everyone we encountered was genuinely kind and went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. One of the most memorable experiences was the guided tour through the gardens, which was both informative and enjoyable (feeding the donkey was almosts as exciting as safari!). We also loved the little touches, like sundowners served in our villa and the creative gin and tonic menu. Zawadi Hotel is a place we will never forget. It’s more than a hotel—it’s an experience. We’re already dreaming of returning and cannot recommend it highly enough. If you’re looking for a slice of paradise, Zawadi is the place to be.

We had the pleasure to stay one week at the Castaway Villa. The complete team did an amazing job fulfilling the promise to provide a home far away from home and to go even beyond. Our holidays literally started the moment we got of the airport and ended when the driver dropped us. Everything in between was taken care of including organizing day trips. The facilities as well as the food are one of a kind and if you are looking for top of the notch service paired with pure privacy then this is your choice.

The breakfast was so good So much to choose from From continental to swahili food The location is perfect The best beach that’s close to the accommodation I would go their again and again
