Grace and her staff made us feel very special during our entire stay. The intimate resort of 9 rooms exceeded our expectations. The food at every meal was outstanding..coming from foodies who run restaurants!! Every request was met with “yes..of course”. Caroline who manages the property proactively reach out in advance for car transfer service as well as organizing a snorkel excision day was perfect We could not have been happier with our experience. We will be back for sure!!!

I spent four relaxing days at Mvuvi Boutique Resorts in Kiwengwa, Zanzibar. The staff was amazing, the beach was beautiful, and the food was delicious. This is a great spot for unwinding after a safari or any other adventure. It was affordable and intimate. I also had one of the best massages I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!

Amazing small hotel with crazily good service.
This was a perfect boutique hotel - exceptionally pretty and with everything we were looking for. The rooms are just metres from the beach, the food is extremely good, and the team can't be beaten. Getting up at 3.50am to gift us fresh fruit for a trip was absolutely exceptional but in keeping with the service we received throughout our stay. Nothing was too much trouble, and they also went out of their way to make sure that they accommodated our (vegan) dietary requirements. Cannot recommend too highly.

Amazing stay at Mvuvi. Very secluded (1h from Stonetown), intimate and private. Unfortunately the weather was not cooperative but we had a chance to enjoy the great food, the private beach and walk around the shore. I would probably chose to explore another area next time with more things to do around (not as secluded).

LOVED EVERYTHING!!!! It was a beautiful, natural property that felt like home. There were not too many rooms, so there were not too many guests, and we always felt comfortable. The rooms and outdoor spaces were all very naturally and tastefully done and were all cleaned multiple times per day. Everything always worked, was always clean, and everything was thought of in advance. A perfect example of this was that on the last day, when we were going to the airport (at 2:45am) Grace was awake to see us off, and the kitchen staff had packed our favorite breakfast for us (they even remembered what we liked)! We had only planned to stay there for 3 days, but extended our stay for 7 days because we loved it so much. Grace and Neema were wonderfully accommodating, arranging trips for us on short notice - and everyone they put us in contact with (drivers, tour guides, kite-surfing instructors) was extremely kind and generous. A special thank you also to Baracka, Fareeda, Veronica and Victoria for always being so accommodating and friendly. Vacation never felt like this before. In other places you still feel like you’re thinking of things, looking for things, feeling somehow not at home… This was the first time I’ve gone on a vacation and really understood the meaning of that word. No worries at all, hakuna matata.
