Located on the edge of a small rocky cliff with stunning views over the Indian Ocean out to Mnemba Island, The Zanzibari is set in lush and tropical gardens.

I loved the fact that there was a private beach so we were not haggled by people trying to sell us many things. The pool was clean and warm and had a fantastic view of the ocean. The staff are absolutely superb! Nothing is too much trouble and they go above and beyond to meet your needs. It was my husband's birthday and they made him a cake and we had a special dinner on the beach. We absolutely loved our stay at the Zanzibari.

    Lovely boutique hotel with lovely staff. Very clean room and all communal areas very well looked after. All neat and clean. Breakfast with the best view. Very peaceful. Not tried the pool but was great lounging under the palm trees on the authentic looking deckchair overlooking the sea. Bliss. Limited breakfast options but enough choice for my 3 day stay. Offered packed breakfast on my departure day as I left very early, at 5am. Would definitely go back to Zanzibar Magic again!

    Excellent hotel in Zanzibar, great restaurant also. I would call it a luxury boutique hotel as it has every luxury you need at the same time it’s a small cute boutique hotel in front of a really beautiful beach. Also every single staff is so accommodating and polite.

    Zanzibar Magic Boutique hotel was the perfect stop on our honeymoon to Zanzibar. The staff were so friendly, the food amazing and the location was right on the beachfront. Matemwe beach is quieter than Nungwi or kendwa but the sea was lovely to swim in.

    We enjoyed the meals, they were really delicious compared to many foods in Zanzibar! The facilities were well decorated and the interior design was nice😍✨ There were two pools one upstairs and one in the yard.

    Charming Boutique hotel lovingly designed down to the smallest detail. Wonderful rooms, large balcony, great breakfast and dinner. White powdery sand beach only one step away - quiet and clean at all times. Amazing owners. Very friendly and always helpful staff. Arranged for me everything. Service level: 10++/10. You come as a stranger and leave as a friend. Recommendation: 100%

    A great, calm, boutique hotel. Design perfectly fits the surroundings - this is not just a block of flat like many hotels, but very good melted into background buildings, still providing comfort and a premium level of quality. Very helpful personnel and management. Great private excursions organized by Osman, which is great tour guide, as well as very carefully takes care of you during the trip.
