Z-Lodge Zanzibar, hotel in Kiwengwa

Located in Kiwengwa, a few steps from Kiwengwa Beach, Z-Lodge Zanzibar provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

The location is perfect for a chilled holiday! The facilities they have ensure that, if you’d like to just stay and relax there, you are able to(there’s two swimming pools, direct access to the beach, bar, restaurant…). I have never felt this welcomed before by staff, they really make you feel welcome and help with any problem/queries you might have. They also organise tours from the property. Food in the restaurant is great.

    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

    The choice was made because we like to discover new dishes and tastes in different countries, and it was a top place for the photos found on social media. The restaurant is definitely the best we had on our route in Zanzibar - bravo to the chef and the entire team. All dishes exceeded our expectations - delicious, fresh ingredients, large portions, amazing decorations. Everything else about the hotel was not something unique - just good and comfortable with an ocean view. So, I'm giving my 10 points to the kitchen.

    The hotel is a true gem. It is on the southern part of Kiwengwa village, which is very calm and has a beautiful beach right in front. The property has a very nice beach area with hammocks, loungers and mattresses where you can hang out at the beach the whole day. The food was exceptional, portion size and taste wise. And not to forget the staff, who were all very kind, attentive and made sure we enjoyed our stay. We fully recommend staying at this hotel in this beautiful hidden gem part of the island.

    It was our first time in Zanzibar and having picked the place online, we were really impressed by the inclusive nature of the resort. It is truly an amazing holiday resort and it is probably the best value for money hotel in Kiwengwa. The staff are very friendly and all embody the Hakuna Matata spirit of Zanzibar. Harry at the reception particularly went out of his way to make our stay pleasurable and memorable. One can truly enjoy a fantastic holiday with minimal activities outside the resort.

    Our 3 night stay in white dream was perfect. It is a small intimate hotel, beautifully designed and the staff was exceptionally nice and helpful. The pool is a big plus as the tide is sometimes capricious. Restaurant was very good and the menu offered various choices, we ended up having all of our meals there. We were not sure about staying in kiwengwa because the beaches are not as dreamy as in Nungwi or Paje but we did not regret for a second our stay in this peaceful haven.

    The property is absolutely stunning - such a peaceful place with amazing surroundings. But what impressed us more was the hospitality of Davies and Paola. They were very flexible with early check-in/late check-out and payment settlement. Davies was always around for anything we may ask! Super attentive, hospitable, and helpful. We really felt like guests at someone’s home. We definitely recommend this option for stay in Zanzibar - the reality will exceed your expectations.

    The place is great and the staff sooo nice. We had beautiful holidays in kiwengwa beach resort ! Just in front of the beach and with 3 big pools inside so you can choose your favorite place. It was perfect. There were a lot of activities organised by the hotel, big clean room in front of the beach and/of of a pool, big buffet with a lot of choices… We had also 3 different massages at the spa for a very good price. It was amazing and I ll come back for sure !!

    Our stay was smooth and quite nice, after staying in different hotels in Zanzibar I know when I find a gem and Boho boutique hotel is one of them. Daniel and Roxana makes you feel immediately at home. Their such a nice host. The hotel is clean, modern and stylish just very close to the beach. Amazing for a Zanzibar vacation of your dreams. Thank you Daniel, Roxanna and the team for hosting us, we will surely come back again! Regards, Leo and Sabrina

    Value for money. Loved the beachy vibes; stepping out our door, feet in the sand, straight to the beach. The food was delicous and we enjoyed reading a book in the hammocks. Chantal also helped us out with information about activities and provided tips for our further trip in Zanzibar. Truly recommend this place and restaurant when staying in the Kiwengwa area.

    A well located, family-vibe resort popular with Italians, with its own beautiful private beach and beach bar serving delicious pizzas and cocktails. There were a generous amount of comfortable beach loungers with shade and shielding from constant beach selling. Breakfasts were delicious if standard and modest for Zanzibar. Food was generally very good.

    The location is really nice. Even though the hotel itself is not really at the beach ( they have a beach bar and the hotel is like 100 m further), that beach is the best one we've seen in Zanzibar. The rooms were clean and food was decent. The ac was working fine and water in the shower was hot. Internet was good.
