A place called PARADISE

10.0

Dear All, Zawadi is a place you have to experience. Where body and soul are in balance. Lush nature and incredible views, 24/7. The kindness and attentiveness of the staff is unique. Always attentive to your needs. The cleanliness is unparalleled. I have traveled extensively... but Zawadi is like home, even better. The villas are beautiful and very spacious. Beautifully decorated, each villa has its own pool. Each villa faces the ocean... If you need peace, quietness and relaxation, this is the THE place to be. For food lovers...the chef and his team take you on a journey, a treat for the taste buds. A true haven of peace. Barbara & Alexandra

Truly spectacular

10.0

My wife and I stayed at Zawadi for 5 nights from the 25th-30th November this year and it was nothing short of spectacular. The villa was amazing, everything looked and felt new and it was always kept immaculately clean. The staff are amazing, eveyone knew our names and impressively quickly knew our preferences for food and drinks - Bernard, innocent, Ally, Raza and everyone else we met really made our stay special. The food is unbelievable, high end fine dining and surely chasing a Michelin star. The lunch and dinner menus changed daily and I only wish I could have eaten more! If you are looking for somewhere to stay I cannot recommend Zawadi enough, our only mistake - is that we didn’t stay longer. We will return. Stuart & Caroline

Honeymoon bliss

10.0

From the moment you walk in until your tearful departure, it's the experience of a lifetime. We had an incredible honeymoon. 7 nights of total bliss, relaxation, food, drink, smiles, laughs, swims, naps and cocktails. Definitely the best holiday experience we've ever had. We will be back. Special shout out to Alli, Innocent, Peter, Bernard, Hamad, Raza, Mabula, Isaac, Dez and all the fantastic chefs and housekeeping team for always making sure we felt so welcome, so entertained and so fed!

Relaxing getaway

10.0

We recently stayed here for our honeymoon after the first part of our safari. Upon arrival we were greeted with coconuts and friendly staff members. The resort is intimate in that there are only a few villas, so this is the place to come and unwind and relax in the company of whoever you come with. The grounds of the hotel are immaculate and so picturesque. The villas itself are so beautiful. The villa patio overlooking the ocean and the small plunge pool is perfect. Also you can book snorkeling with the front desk! Just as most of Zanzibar, the tides are very extreme so the low tide has the water out almost a mile out. The small cove of the beach is nice but not necessarily for swimming. But definitely the snorkeling included with the hotel stay was great! The food at this resort was very good. It seems like the chef really cared to create a spectacular menu. Every meal is multi course. The staff really go above and beyond for you. Bernard really wanted to ensure we had the best meal experiences, especially as my husband does not drink alcohol and always tried to find something new for him to drink (he didn't want us having the same mocktail). Drinks may be slower to arrive but its because every ingredient is fresh. The staff will go and juice every fruit in your drink. Time is meant to be slower here so don't worry that is part of the vibe. We felt like every staff member genuinely wanted us to have the best experience and we can say the service was excellent. What a great stay.
