I stayed 20 days at Canary Hotel & SPA in Nungwi and it was truly exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome every single day, always with a smile and genuine kindness. The rooms were comfortable and well maintained, and the facilities – from the bowling alley to the pool and spa – made our stay unforgettable. The location is perfect, just a short walk from Nungwi Beach, yet peaceful and relaxing. After 20 days, I can say this hotel really felt like home. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Zanzibar!

From the moment you step through the door, you are welcomed into a peaceful and very pleasant environment surrounded by greenery. The location is excellent; it’s only a 2-3 minute walk to the beach. The breakfast menu changes daily, and you can have it at any time you like. I think this is wonderful. The staff are very friendly. Mr. Alp helps with everything to make you feel at home, and I am very grateful to him. Being within walking distance of the beach and restaurants and in a safe area allows you to vacation alone comfortably. Hakuna Matata.

Hotel is a true gem of Nungwi Beach. This newly built hotel offers a high-quality experience with a stylish and tasteful design creating a perfect balance between comfort and elegance. One of the highlights is the on-site café, where the food is simply fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The menu will not disappoint. The staff are exceptional—friendly, helpful, and always with a smile. Their positive attitude and attention to detail make you feel truly welcome. The owner of hotel made our stay in Zanzibar truly special. He was incredibly helpful, kind, and friendly, always making sure we had everything we needed. His local knowledge and willingness to share tips and experiences about Zanzibar made our trip even more enjoyable. He also helped us arrange excursions and taxis. One of the best features is the access to owners another hotel just 1 km away along a beautiful beach, where guests can enjoy a swimming pool, a great restaurant, and lively parties. If you’re looking for a peaceful, well-designed, and hospitable place to stay right by the stunning Nungwi Beach, Dhow Boutique Hotel is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

The location of the accommodation right on the beachfront was phenomenal, with amazing sunrises every morning reminiscent of an English breakfast. The hosts were always quick to respond and help. The room was very clean and tidied up daily. The air conditioning in the room, especially on an island where it gets hot, is fantastic. Soap, shampoo, and towels were always available upon request, which made for a pleasant stay for travelers.

What's not to like. A lovely introduction by Iman which was a first in Zanzibar. A perfect spot right on the beach, breakfast overlooking the ocean. .. perfect. Breakfast was delicious and satisfying. Plenty of loungers cushions and parasols for shade. An added bonus was an off licence just round the corner to purchase a cold beer 🍺 whilst Watching the evening sunset. Lots of restaurants a stone's throw away if you don't eat in the hotel. Although we ate elsewhere the food in the hotel looked yummy....
