The Sands Beach Resort

The Sands Beach Resort

📍 Pingwe Village Rd, Dongwe
★★★★ 9.0 (77 reviews)

"Right from the time we stepped in, everything about the hotel was perfect. The rooms, the food, the ambience, the private pool and especially, the private beach. However, like I said, from the time we stepped in. Work is ongoing on the approach and main road, that should be completed fast so that more people may go and enjoy the experience!"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Baraza Resort & Spa – Zanzibar Our stay at Baraza Resort & Spa was nothing short of extraordinary. We had the privilege of spending one night at this stunning all-inclusive, five-star luxury resort while conducting a site inspection, and it exceeded every expectation. A huge thank you to Yassine, the Assistant General Manager, who personally conducted our site inspection. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but he also had an amazing sense of humor that made the tour both informative and enjoyable. His passion for the property and commitment to delivering an exceptional guest experience were evident throughout our visit. From the breathtaking architecture and beautifully appointed villas to the impeccable service, Baraza truly defines luxury. The all-inclusive dining experience was outstanding, with every meal thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. Every detail of the resort reflects elegance, comfort, and world-class hospitality. What impressed us most was the consistency of service. Every staff member we encountered went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, creating an experience that honestly deserves more than five stars—it was a 1000/10! During our time in Zanzibar, we also conducted site inspections at all four properties within The Zanzibar Collection—Baraza, Breezes, The Palms, and Zawadi—and it was clear that each property shares the same exceptional standards of hospitality while offering its own unique character. If you're looking for one of the finest luxury all-inclusive resorts in Zanzibar, Baraza Resort & Spa should be at the very top of your list. We look forward to recommending this incredible property to our clients and returning again ourselves."

"This magical boutique hotel made me fall in love with Zanzibar all over again. The view from my room was spectacular, the staff is super friendly & helpful and the tranquil atmosphere is wonderful for optimal relaxation.

Hotel Club Dongwe

Hotel Club Dongwe

📍 RG9H+6W6, Dongwe
★★★ 9.6 (40 reviews)

"Our stay at this resort was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all expectations. Even though the weather wasn’t the best during our visit, it didn’t take away from the experience at all. We treated ourselves to a fantastic massage at the spa, which was incredibly relaxing and professionally done. It was exactly what we needed to unwind and disconnect. On top of that, the entertainment team did an amazing job organizing a variety of tournaments and activities throughout the day, keeping the atmosphere lively and engaging despite the rain. What truly makes this resort special is its ability to combine comfort and relaxation with an authentic African atmosphere. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway while still wanting to immerse themselves in a setting that reflects genuine African authenticity. We would definitely come back!"

The Palms Zanzibar

📍 Bwejuu Beach Paje Michamvi Road, Dongwe

"I haven’t written a review for a long time. Maybe the places we’ve been in the world haven’t really been worthy of one however when, once in a lifetime, somewhere touches you so sincerely that maybe the rest of the world needs to hear about it. Now, to describe this place, it would be advised to close your eyes, sit back, breathe deeply and not to let your surroundings distract you. Relaxed? Imagine, the most beautiful landscaped lush green gardens, palm trees swaying above you , piercing blue skies, soothing warm air brushing against your skin coming from across the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean. Silence, tranquility, pure paradise for the senses. Can you imagine it yet? If so, I’ll begin… A year ago my wife was searching for a holiday. At the time we were in the Maldives. You would think that the Maldives would be the ultimate dream come true, not in a million years did we expect what she found would far, far out way the Maldives. Zanzibar she said, I replied, “where is that”? Little did I know or expect that this small island off the east coast of Tanzania would be our true calling. Now trying to research this island to find a resort to our taste took some work. A lot of research and discussion. A company called The Zanzibar Collection came to our attention and more acutely a resort of just 7 villas and 14 guests. The Palms, situated on the south east coast of the Island on Dongwe beach. I am a true believer that you get what you pay for, this resort is not cheap I will just say that. Worth it? Very much so, let me explain… When we arrived at the resort, tired from hours of travelling from England we were met by a man, reserved, with calming influence, dressed smartly in shirt and trousers. A beautiful smile on his face welcoming us to The Palms, this man was Siriak the hotel operations manager. I can truly say that to Siriak, everyone who walks through his doors are not just guests, they are friends and treated with the upmost courtesy, respect and professionalism. Escorted through the beautiful grounds we were invited to relax on the armchairs and were quickly served a welcome drink whilst he sat with us explaining the resort layout and going through a little bit of paperwork. Our room was not yet ready having arrived early in the morning. Check in is usually at 3pm however Siriak made us comfortable by providing us with a little side villa to change and relax. After a few hours, having breakfast and relaxing in the hotel grounds are room was ready. Now, to say this was a room is an understatement. It’s a private 130sqft villa. Seven in total all named after spices that are found and exported from the island. The islands main source of income. Our villa, Cinnamon, in my humble opinion is the best of them all due to its position on the right side of the resort which seems more private and exclusive. It’s the only villa which no one else can see or access due to its position. A priva"

Baraza Resort and Spa Zanzibar ★★★★★
"We had great 5 days at the Baraza Zanzibar Resort. Friendly staff, extremely good food, nice property, a clean room (or more a villa). The location is great for anything like honeymoon or like we did, just hang loose and relax after the intense experience of a safari, spotting the big 5. Although it was only 5 days, it felt we were there 2 weeks."

Ocean Boutique Hotel ★★★
"Hotel is located just on the beach, kept cleaned every day by Hotel personnel. Diving center really besides the hotel, managing snorkeling, scuba, surfing and other activities. The Blue Lagoon is some like 500 meters from hotel, easily allowing nice snorkeling after a 10 minutes boat trip. A little longer after the Blue Lagoon there's a zone where you can fine hundreds of Star Fishes, very beautiful! Restaurant is fine, we really enjoied our meals. Tide changes the landscape every 6 hours. When tide is high, you can bath, when it is low you can walk to be reef."

"Beautiful location, people and an outstanding quality of accommodation, food and service. The Palms is a wonderful place. It was my husband’s birthday whilst we were there; and the staff made it very special, without me asking for anything! The food is some of the best we’ve ever had. The staff, without exception were engaging, friendly, approachable, funny and professional. The quality of leadership is visible in everything. Thank you for such a wonderful and memorable holiday. We wish you all well."
