want to stay in the north of zanzibar without being right in the middle of the crowds? 👇🏼
nungwi is known for the most beautiful sunsets on the island, calm water and some of the best beaches for swimming, but it’s also the busiest and most touristy part
after staying in much quieter jambiani i was a bit worried nungwi would feel too full on but ended up giving us the best of both worlds 🌴
it’s a boutique hotel tucked away in a really quiet part of nungwi, around a 15 minute drive from the main area and it felt like we had our own private beach
it was SO peaceful chilling here during the day then in the evening we could jump in a taxi and enjoy all the restaurants, bars and everything going on there
my tip: book one of the private bungalows! you get your own little pool and it feels so secluded and private 🌴
so if you want the beauty of northern zanzibar without the crowds, this is such a good option!
save this hotel for your zanzibar trip 🐚
