We had an absolutely dreamy and unforgettable stay at Imara. The staff were simply amazing—attentive, friendly, and anticipated our every wish. The resort itself is located on a stunning, relatively quiet beach, yet there were plenty of options nearby with restaurants and bars for variety. The food at Imara was outstanding. Our room was very spacious, and having private loungers for the lower-level rooms was a huge bonus. The pool was simply unbeatable — not only beautiful to look at but also perfect for cooling off. Honestly, it was such a fantastic experience. We’ve stayed at many hotels, but Imara is truly something special! Absolutely 100% recommended.

We have booked this hotel as our wedding venue and we went ahead to scout the location and hotel. The hotel was very accommodating. By far the nicest property on the stretch of Kiwengwa beach. Wonderful personal touches throughout the stay and a quiet oasis. Felt very private.

We love the quiet and relaxing atmosphere of the place. It’s tucked away behind a small alley but just a few steps away from the beach. Everything is very new still and the mattresses are a dream to sleep on. The staff is so nice and accommodating and chef Domenico and team created the most amazing meals for us.

    The location was breathtaking, felt like you are in paradise. Kiwengwa Beach resort is great for everyone, especially for famalies. So much to do at the resort from swimming in 1 of 3 pools or ocean, playing volleyball, tennis, planned activities in the day, shows at night etc. The staff from management, to waiters, kitchen, housekeeping, gardeners, animation team - everyone was super friendly and accommodating. Variety of delicious food options.

    After an easy-peasy pickup from the ferry in Stone Town, we arrived at the Villa to be welcomed by a super friendly team and a romantic seafood dinner set for us right on the beach. It was perfection from the first moment! We spent a relaxing weekend enjoying the pool, walking on the beach, playing games, swimming in the ocean and eating the delicious food prepared by the Chef. We felt safe, pampered and well taken care of. Mr. Davies made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We can't wait to go back!

    Unlike most other resorts this one is right on the beach, there is no barrier between you and the ocean. And since it’s a small place the beach vendors (who are everywhere on every beach in Zanzibar) tend to focus on the beach stretches of the bigger resorts. This is a huge advantage. Food is great, staff is friendly and welcoming. Walking up and down the beach it was super evident that this is the best place for kilometers both up and down the beach.

Good cuisine at reasonable prices in the hotel restaurant. So, if you are looking for an atmosphere of complete relaxation and tranquility, this is the right choice.
