    Kiwengwa is a perfect place to spend time with the family.

    Kiwengwa is a perfect place to spend time with the family. Exquisit nature, kind people and the best food. Boat trips, beach activities, village strolls, getting to know the culture of local people who are very knowlegeable about the natural agriculture and extreemly kind and nice. We loved every minute of our stay at Kiwengwa.

    I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water. The sand was so soft and almost white. I didn't like the hassle on the beach though. It was easier to stay at the hotel to avoid it. But that's not why you visit another country!

    Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest.

    Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest. That meant fewer people and tranquility which was what I was looking for during that trip. The hotel was also exactly what I need. All the facilities (gym, massage, sports activities) + excellent food at a reasonable cost. And Fatma the day manager was great. A wonderful person and soul

    We’ve spent our last day in Zanzibar at kiwengwa beach at Lapili residence and I can say that everything was so pleasant, from the the lovely owners to the kindness of the whole staff, helpful and always smiling. Everything was simply amazing! The apartment in African style with comfortable beds, the beautiful pool and relaxing area, the beach and the food at the restaurant that was very good and tasty. Would definitely stay here again and already recommended this gem to my friends. It’s a great value for money.

    We are an American couple who have been living in Tanzania for years. We booked confidently in this corner of paradise which is Kiwengwa, for us the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar. The villa was really good and it’s decor is lovely. The bed is comfortable (superb having the duvet) and the bathroom/shower is quite spacious. Although there were other villas nearby, ours was slightly secluded and private. The hosts really went out of their way to make our stay comfortable.

    This was a cute little place. It was a very last minute booking and also our first time to Zanzibar so we didn't know what to expect. Everywhere in Zanzibar gets a 8+, 9+ rating which I found strange as so many of them are not that rating in my opinion. I feel like someone is doing the ratings for hotels there! The room was very big which was nice. It looked right onto the ocean. Deeda, the receptionist was lovely and very helpful.

    We liked that the hotel was very clean and safe, by far the best location we visited in Zanzibar. Our room was very cozy, comfortable bed and nice private patio! The staff is great and very helpful with resort issues and also with organizing transfer! Very good prices for everything and good value. The private beach is well furnished with many swings, perfect to relax and for beautiful photos, especially the swing in the ocean.

    Maybe the best location in Zanzibar. Kiwengwa has many restaurants and long beach with access. Having a rental car, we had the opportunity to explore most of the island and be able to compare. Best staff (management, cooking, cleaning, safety) Big house with 3 bedrooms and toilets, sea front, amazing view We enjoyed our dinners at the villa, all problems with water, internet, A/C and tree fall were immediately solved

    Everything. This Zanzibar experience was as good as we could have asked for. First and foremost, the staff was incredible. We felt welcomed and secure to sit back and relax. The food, pools, beach, drinks, excursions, and spa were second to the people but they have everything. I’m sure there are a lot of good places to stay on Zanzibar but I’d stay here again knowing we will have a great time!

    - Beautiful view of the ocean with the very long Kiwengwa beach right outside the hotel. - Amazing infinity pool with comfortable sun beds where we without any problems could spend a whole day. Also, a very nice bar in the pool. - Very nice and clean room with all necessities. - Loved the breakfast. The best out of three different hotels we visited on Zanzibar.

    I was upgraded to a bigger room and I had my own outside seating area. Excellent and plenty of choices of food for breakfast. The restaurant also served delicious lunch and dinner. The location was safe and quiet. Security on property. Friendly owners and staff. The back up generator really helped when the whole Zanzibar lost power for several hours.
