Zen Boutique Resort

Zen Boutique was just perfect for us. It literally had everything we wanted in the 7 nights of our say, and we felt we had a proper relaxing holiday. So much to say about Zen. The staff were lovely and welcoming, especially Humprey and MJ who remembered how we like our coffee in the mornings. The meals are cooked from fresh every day by their super chefs. And I would highly recommend the Nutella cheesecake and the seafood platter, absolutely delicious. Zen boutique has a tower, where you can sit and watch the sunset every evening, it is spectacular. The beach front is only a 10-15 minute walk. And if you are up early enough, you can was the sun rise whilst having a swim in the Indian Ocean. You will often see the owners, Tyson and Sarah around the resort, i saw Tyson helping his staff with cooking and serving in the restaurant. Ty and Sarah really go over and above to look after their quests. They organised our taxis, helped organise excursions and gave us information on which bars/restaurants to go to. Thank you Tyson and Sarah for making my holiday one of the best holidays and i will be returning again.

The name is perfect, we felt very Zen and relaxed during our stay. The resort is stunning with lots of hidden areas to enjoy. Our room was perfect with everything we needed. Set around the outside pool. The location was perfect with stunning views of the sunset and a short walk to the beach. The food was fresh, delicious and very affordable. The breakfast was endless and all fresh. The seafood evening was exceptional and the barbecue was such a lovely evening with so many options and a lovely dressed eating area to enjoy it. Sarah and Tyson were available before and during our trip to offer advice and arrange any requests. We booked everything through Zen to include our Safari and Boat trip which was not only really affordable but also seamless. Our personal requests and dietary requirements were taken care of without having to keep requesting. The attention to detail and personal touches really did make a difference. We were advised daily on Sunset, sunrise and tide times which helped us plan our time. We booked massages with Rachel and yoga and breath work with Natasha which were equally fantastic. Sarah and Tyson the owners treated all of the guests with a personal touch. Even a couple staying at a nearby beach hotel came to spend an evening at Zen , the male guest mentioned he wanted to propose at the top of the viewing tower and we watched as Sarah pulled together the most romantic dressed area in less than an hour while Tyson distracted the couple , all in time for the sunset proposal! Honestly the most beautiful place to stay . The resort is planning retreats for Male and females. I am booking the female retreat for March 2025 as Zen boutique is truly infectious ❤️

Zen Boutique is a dream come true. I stayed here with a friend of mine in May and we have absolutely loved it. We were very warmly welcomed by Sarah and throughout our stay we have been taken care of so well. The rooms are beautiful, the outside bathroom is just fantastic and the restaurant serves amazing food and cocktails. In case you thought a sunset at Jambiani can't be beautiful, think again. At Zen Boutique they have placed a tower where you can see the sun down over the forest. Zen Boutique is not beach front, but in about a 5-10 minute walk through the village you are at the beach. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Wow another beautiful relaxing place to be,it's been an amazing holiday for me. Great place, The receptionist Musa was so amazing,he knows his job very well. The staff, the food,so beautiful, I really enjoyed it. place to be for holiday's fun and enjoyable

Stay woke the pictures are not what the reality is. No beach ,you simply have to get to the beach daily if you want that hassle for at least 20 minutes walk and the road to this resort is bad in rain season it’s not even a good idea to walk. You have to spend money on taxi to go to the beach if you want to go everyday.The lady was arrogant too at the reception.

I was looking for some down time after trekking in Nepal and am so fortunate to have come across Zen in the search engine. Pictures don't always live up to reality, but this resort exceeded expectations. I was welcomed by two very smiley members of staff, MJ and Chris, with a drink and cooling towel, and also the extremely friendly owners Sarah and Tyson. Throughout my stay they were so helpful with information and advice about excursions, local transport and other bars and resturants and extremely approachable. The food at Zen was phenomenal (i barely ate anywhere else). As a vegetarian I had numerous options and the chefs were accommodating in making adjustments when needed. I looked forward every morning to a delicious plate of fresh fruit, home made granola and yoghurt, plus a different mixed fruit juice which were so refreshing..thank you Abdullah, Moses and Soli. Oh and the cocktails...yum! The bungalow had plenty of room, storage space, a fridge, fresh filtered water daily and housekeeping was impeccable. I adored (& really miss) the outdoor bathroom which included locally made shampoo, shower gel and soap. The pool is a perfect size with plenty of comfy beds for all the guests and gentle music suitable for the vibe. Watching the sunset on the rooftop bar with a cocktail topped off the end to my days. And the shala and spa had plenty of room to do daily yoga (Zen even provided the mats!) I was a bit unsure about not being beach side, but a couple of times I went to other beach side resorts for pool use and a drink, I was constantly approached by sellers on the beach who unfortunately don't take no for an answer. I did walk to the beach near Zen a couple of times to watch the sunrise, which was roughly 10 minutes away. I'd like to again thank Sarah, Tyson and all the staff for making my 12 day stay at Zen Boutique a lasting happy memory and I hope to return in the near future.
