Mvuvi Boutique Resort

Atomosphare was so good. Food is also good

I cannot say enough positive things about Mvuvi! The hotel is fabulously located on Kiwengwa Beach which is a quieter location but is beautiful. The team at the hotel were so lovely and attentive. We had a few electrical issues with our room, but they were absolutely on top of it and were able to move us to another room that was perfect. They were so helpful when organising excursions and being around to answer any questions. The hotel has such a family feel and was exactly what we were looking for for our holiday. The food at both restaurants is also delicious and uses so many local ingredients. Mvuvi/The Beach Lounge made for one of the best beach holidays we've had.

We came to Zanzibar after 3 very busy weeks in East Africa and Mvuvi was the perfect place to wind down and relax. We had a delightful stay at Mvuvi, the rooms were well appointed with comfortable bedding and pillows. The resort was exactly as depicted in the photos - in fact I think it was even more beautiful in real life. Staff were very attentive. We were there on a quiet weekend and there were only a few other guests so we felt very spoilt. Food was delicious, as were the cocktails. We loved the special dinner setting that was set up for us on our final night - we felt like rockstars!

Thank you for a really beautiful stay. The team were so lovely and looked after us all so well. The food was delicious and the accommodation was gorgeous and right on the beach. I would highly recommend Mvuvi and would love to come back one day. I had my four children with me and we all felt very safe while being right on the beach front. It was incredibly feeling so peaceful in the resort yet still being able to walk along the beach and feel the energy of this remarkable coast. Thank you for having us.

Great little resort with very friendly staff and good restaurant. It's close to some big Italian package holiday hotels so quite a lively area. Lots of beach vendors so difficult to walk the beach without being accosted but hotel has an area for sunbathing that they cannot access so that's good. Local food at restaurant a better option than the western food. Swahili green banana and beef in coconut sauce was excellent and if you like spice, ask for some chillies to add to it yourself!

When you book a hotel you always read reviews with a pinch of salt. This hotel has fantastic reviews and with good reason. Everything from the welcome to our departure was absolutely first class without exception. A few members of staff deserve a special mention - Bernard, Mtoto, Nema and Baracka all helped make our stay extra special. The staff in general are exceptional including the kitchen staff who turn out superb food time after time and catered to my wife’s vegetarian requirements admirably. Would we stay again? Yes, in a heartbeat.

Our stay at Mvuvi was nothing short of serenity and beauty. The staff was very personable, paid great attention to detail and made us feel at home away from home. The manager during our visit, Lisa, was a complete delight. She, along with the staff were spectacular. They all work really hard to create a wonderful experience for guests. The rooms and grounds were well kept and the fresh hibiscuses around the room were a really nice touch. The weather was unseasonably rainy and made the best of it during our stay. The food was very tasty and we felt there was enough variety. We arrived very late our first evening and were VERY appreciative of the manager keeping the kitchen open so we could have dinner before going to bed. It was extra special that Lisa arranged a candlelit dinner for us before we left. It was very thoughtful and creative. The couples massages were out-of-this-world that we went back for seconds. I consider my self a tough customer when it comes to massages - and my husband and I were both shared of expectations were far exceeded by the two ladies that provided the massages. We really enjoyed our room with the walk out to the beach. It was secluded, scenic and peaceful. It was kept very clean by the staff. There layout with the open bathroom plan, shelfs, tables and closet space were perfect. It had excellent ambiance when you wanted to relax and fall asleep. We would enjoy a return visit when we make it back to Zanzibar!

We had such a fantastic one-week stay at Mvuvi Boutique Hotel. Everything was beyond our expectations! The location is perfect, as it is directly on the beach, but the hotel has a small swimming pool with relaxing swing beds and incredible views. The food is tasty, and the vibes are good! I cannot highlight enough the excellent service and staff. We can't wait to come back again very soon! You made our holiday perfect. Asante sana!

Mvuvi is a beautiful and quiet hotel, with delicious food and excellent service. The location is great and amenities fantastic. There is a beachbar close by with great facilities for watersports. There really is something for everyone in the family. We had a wonderful stay; I highly recommend it!
