With Paje Beach reachable in a few steps, Ananda Beach Hotel provides accommodation, a restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a private beach area. Complimentary WiFi is provided throughout the property.

A terrace can be found at the lodge, along with a shared lounge. The hotel is right on the beach, with a beautiful outdoor dining area and plenty of sun loungers. Super fresh and a great breakfast buffet with everything you could want. Perfect for longer stays friendly and professional staff, no power outages, and a clean, deep pool that’s filtered and cleaned every evening. Cozy lighting in the evenings adds to the vibe. Plus, the location is fantastic! Rooms were cleaned 2-3 times a day, sand was swept away, and beds were always freshly made. Drinking water, coffee, and tea were restocked daily. There’s a safe, a kettle, lots of storage, air conditioning, and mosquito nets. The bathroom is spacious with strong water pressure and always hot water. Plus, a hairdryer, soap, and shampoo. Tons of sun loungers by the pool and outdoor showers to rinse off or cool down. The garden is absolutely magical. The only downside is that the WiFi is slow inside the rooms, but the speed is great in the pool area and restaurant. Loved every moment of our stay felt like paradise!

Located on the coast of Kiwengwa, Zanbluu Beach Hotel offers ocean and garden views. The property offers an infinity pool with views of the ocean, as well as a pool bar. Some rooms have a private swimming pool. Amazing overall experience! The ocean views from the restaurant and seafront rooms kept us relaxed all week long. Staff are friendly and tend to your every request with a smile. Martin is also a fantastic manager and looked after us and our friends throughout our stay. We also loved the food - a wide variety of breakfast and lunch options and a lovely dinner menu each evening. The entertainment provided during dinner is also really good (much better than some of the other resorts we've stayed at in Zanzibar). A really awesome place to stay, highly recommended!

You can walk straight on to the beach. Monkeys jump around in the trees directly outside the balcony. The food is amazing, and an incredible breakfast is included in the price.

Dinner was great ! Plenty of options for vegans , vegetarians , pescatarians etc. The room where we stayed was spacious , clean and had a very comfortable bed. I would definitely return to the Zanzibar Dream Lodge again.
