Facing the beachfront, The Mora Zanzibar - Luxury All Inclusive offers 5-star accommodation in Matemwe and has a garden, private beach area and bar. Among the facilities at this property are room service and a business centre, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The resort features an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, evening entertainment and a kids' club. The place itself is absolutely fantastic. There are some many small details to give you the best possible experience. In every step of our stay we could feel the luxury but without the feeling of being in an posh environment. Everything felt naturally done to provide the guests the best possible experience. One big factor in all that are the staff members. Everyone (really everyone we simply passed by walking by) was so naturally friendly, helpful and always there to share a laughter.

Situated in Nungwi, 500 metres from Nungwi Beach, Oasis Blu Beach Resort-Adults Only features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. With free WiFi, this 4-star hotel offers a 24-hour front desk and a concierge service. Rooms have a balcony with a sea view. We had a wonderful stay at Oasis Blu Beach Resort! Despite some previous reviews mentioning bugs, we didn’t encounter any issues at all—everything was clean and comfortable. The resort is located a bit away from the busy center of Nungwi, which we actually loved. It costs around $25 for a round-trip taxi to the town, but being slightly removed means you get to enjoy a peaceful, almost private stretch of beach with breathtaking views. The hotel itself is quite small—fewer than 20 rooms—which makes it feel intimate and personal. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, and the staff are truly exceptional. Every single person went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and well cared for. If you’re looking for a quiet, scenic escape with outstanding hospitality, this place is a hidden gem!
