Hodi Hodi Zanzibar — Hotel in Unguja

Unforgettable! Thank you, Julia and team, for an extraordinary experience!||This place redefines “barefoot luxury” in the most genuine way. From the moment we arrived, Julia and her team made us feel more like friends than guests, welcoming us into a warm, homelike atmosphere that’s rare to find. Julia’s commitment to her guests and the local community shines through, with every member of the staff coming from the nearby village, which adds a wonderful, authentic touch to the experience.||Staying here feels like visiting your best friend’s beach house rather than a typical hotel. The five stars aren’t about formal luxury or perfection in every detail—they’re about heart, warmth, and true hospitality. And, of course, the location is unbeatable, set right on the beach with views and sounds that make every moment special. Listening to the breeze and rolling waves when going to sleep. ||If you’re looking for a place with soul, connection, and a stunning beachfront, this is it.

We stayed at Hodi Hodi during the off season, and we felt so incredibly lucky to have done that. The hotel and accommodations are beautifully architected and simply designed. You are comfortable without the need for all the bells and whistles making for a very calming and in-the-moment feeling. The view of the beaches and pool access were all we needed for a peaceful honeymoon. Julia also set us up with transport from the airport and snorkeling, which made traveling less logistical and our stay more exciting! What stood out though was the connections with Julia and hotel staff Naomba, Solum, Mossi and others. We thoroughly enjoyed conversing with our new friends and hearing their life experiences. We were also welcomed to tour their village which was a deeper connection we were hoping for while traveling to other people's countries. We felt sad to say goodbye to those we met, but hope to be back...
