Zawadi feels like Heaven on Earth, from the food to the staff to the location. Very private and intimate with staff who will make sure you are taken care of. We were originally booked for a different property but Expedia switched us since the other property was overbooked and we were so lucky to stay for the Christmas holiday. Our only wish was that we could have stayed longer!

Zawadi is the true definition of private luxury! Everything was pristine: staff, property, drinks/food, views, villa, bed comfort, bath products, water pressure, hospitality, etc. The service & staff was incredible- Iddy, Mr M, Innocent, Bernard & Ally were amazing and truly caterered to my husband and I. Mary & Tatu did a superb job maintaining our villa. Noa, Isaak & Evelyn were lovely hosts, always checking on us and ensuring a pleasant experience. Live music is brought in for dinner 3x a week. Snorkeling, clear kayak & paddle boarding are available & included on site. You can also visit the small farm & garden onsite to see where most of your meals/food is grown. Everything is incredibly fresh! Extra activities are available such as a sunset cruise, however it is quite pricey ($450usd) so we chose a local tour operator on a traditional dhow boat that was a lovely experience for just $60usd. It seemed a bit frowned upon by the hotel staff to book w/outside/local tour operators (multiple comments were made). If you’re well-traveled & cautious like we are & want to support the locals, you’ll be fine. Don’t let the staff scare you away from an authentic experience. :) In conclusion, this is a property my husband and I would absolutely return & visit yearly, and as a travel advisor- it is most definitely one I’ll recommend to my luxury vip clients.

Bestes Kleinhotel auf Sansibar

Zum Abschluss von unserer Safaritour durch Tansania wollten wir noch ein paar Tage am Meer geniessen. Bei der Auswahl vom Hotel sind wir auf das Zawadi Hotel Zanzibar gestossen. Wir wollte nicht in einem grossen Hotelbunker ĂŒbernachten. Was wir dann angetroffen haben hat alle unsere Erwartungen ĂŒbertroffen. Wir möchten sogar behaupten, dass das Hotel das beste Kleinhotel von Sansibar und Tansania sein wird. Noch besser kann man es nĂ€mlich nicht machen. Service, Unterkunft, Anlage, Strand, Essen und Personal. Einfach topp!!! Es besonderes Kompliment gehört dem Management rund um Evelyne. Anders lĂ€sst es sich nicht erklĂ€ren, wieso jeder Mitarbeiter höchst professionell arbeitet mit einem stetigen LĂ€cheln im Gesicht.

Exceptionnel! Nous ne pouvons que recommander chaleureusement le Zawadi, sans doute l’une des manilleurs expĂ©rience en hĂŽtel que nous ayons eu l’occasion de vivre. Notre sĂ©jour Ă©tait juste parfait : le cadre et la vue exceptionnels, les chambres immenses et dĂ©corĂ©es avec goĂ»t, le service incroyable, le personnel trĂšs attentionnĂ© et les repas raffinĂ©s. Un hĂŽtel all inclusive de grande qualitĂ© dans lequel nous reviendrons certainement. Un grand merci Ă  Noa et Evelyne anisi qu’®à tout l’équipe : Ali, Msegeju, Iddy, Innocent, Hamad, Raza, Walter, Desdery, Mabula

A week in paradise 😍

Our most beautiful holidays ever (and we’re used to 5 stars & exotic venues, but this was outstanding in every aspect). Zawadi is completely self sufficient and you won’t need to leave the hotel during your whole stay - the food is amazing, you can snorkel right in front of the hotel, paddle, kayak, chill in your plunge pool and drink amazing cocktails all day - there is even a petting zoo and, if you’re lucky, some wild monkeys will be visiting in the morning. I proposed to my fiancĂ©e there and Evelyn helped me to organise the most beautiful setup. We felt like we were alone during the whole holiday and we already miss the cleanliness and comfort of the villas. Thank you for this paradise and congrats to the whole Zawadi team for making this place such a wonderful venue. We’ll be back for the honeymoon :)
