Our Unforgettable Stay at Infinity Beach Boutique Hotel & SPA, Zanzibar
My wife and I recently had the pleasure of spending a week at the newly opened Infinity Beach Boutique Hotel & SPA in Zanzibar, and it turned out to be the perfect escape we were looking for.
A Tranquil Retreat: From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the peaceful atmosphere of the hotel. Next to a white sandy beach, the hotel felt like a private paradise. The entire property is covered in soft, white sand, which gives it a unique and seamless connection with the beach. The pool area was the perfect place to relax, read a book, enjoy a cocktail or just soak in the beauty of the surroundings.
Our Room: We were absolutely delighted with our room. It was tastefully decorated with brand-new furniture, and the bed was one of the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in. Waking up to the breathtaking views of the ocean and the pool area each morning was a real treat. The attention to detail in the room’s design made it feel both luxurious and welcoming, a place where we could truly unwind.
Dining Experiences: We enjoyed many meals at the hotel’s restaurant, and the food was consistently delicious. The à la carte menu offered a good variety of options, and we looked forward to each meal. However, we did experience some delays in service, and there were a couple of times when parts of our order were missed. For example, we once had to wait for a sauce to accompany our fish dish, and an extra side didn’t arrive. Despite these small hiccups, the overall dining experience was pleasant, and the quality of the food made up for the occasional slip in service.
Relaxation at the Spa: One of the highlights of our stay was the time we spent at the spa. My wife and I both tried several different massages, and each one was wonderful. The therapists were skilled and attentive, making sure we left each session feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated.
Exceptional Service: A special mention has to go to Tomek, the manager and owner of the hotel. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel incredibly welcome and took care of all the details of our stay. He helped us organize several excursions around the island, including visits to Stone Town, a spice farm, and snorkelling trips. Each experience was well-organized and exceeded our expectations. Tomek’s personal touch and dedication to making sure everything ran smoothly added so much to our stay.
Exploring the Area: While the hotel was a haven of tranquility, we also enjoyed exploring the local area. There are several bars and restaurants within walking distance along the beach, and we made a point to try a few of them. It was nice to have different dining options nearby, and we loved the variety of places to eat and drink. It made our week feel even more dynamic and enjoyable.
Final Thoughts: Our week at Infinity Beach Boutique Hotel & SPA was everything we hoped it would be and more. It was the perfect balance of relaxation, adventure, and quality time together. While the restaurant service had a few minor issues, they were easily overshadowed by the hotel’s stunning location, comfortable rooms, excellent spa, and Tomek’s outstanding hospitality. We left feeling rejuvenated and with wonderful memories that we’ll cherish for a long time. We’re already dreaming of our next visit to this beautiful corner...
Read moreWe have recently returned from a weeks beach holiday in Zanzibar where we stayed at the newly opened Infinity Beach Boutique hotel. And what a pleasure it was. This brand new privately developed and owner- operated hotel is full of charm. It is right on the beach and all rooms have a beach view, and some, the end ones, are simply stunning…large sliding doors opening onto a private verandah, breath taking views, and with a constant breeze. We had the room called “Ocean”, the best in our opinion! The large central pool is a sparkling feature outside almost every room. The owners Tomek and Malgo from Poland, have taken a gamble in opening their dream boutique hotel in Zanzibar rather than Spain, and I think it’s going to be a winner. It’s clear from the level of service from the cheerful staff that there is a happy working environment. It is very good value for money and I am sure that as the word spreads it will be hard to get a booking. The rooms were furnished by Malgo with unusual custom designs in hardwood timber recovered from abandoned dhows. Pleasing to the eye and the environment. Everything is new and works perfectly, from coffee machine to air-conditioning and with comfortable beds. The dining and receptions areas are large, light and comfortable, furnished in the same Malgo style! Tomek was a very personable host and Sultan, the Omani trained chef produced unusual and tasty dishes. The warm crystal-clear azure waters provided perfect snorkelling near Nembwe island,only a 15 minute boat ride away, very convenient. We have been on many Mauritius and Mozambican coral beaches and this stretch of beach is amongst the very best. The Matemwe area offers less populated beaches than some of the other more crowded areas. In summary, the pros…a new perfectly sited, small and personal hotel, owner-operated by a meticulous and charming couple. The cons…the weather was steamy, the beach vendors can be tiresome, and some of the food we found expensive. Choose a good time to go, and ignore the vendors and they eventually lose interest. We had a relaxed and happy holiday with hosts Tomek and Malgo and spent many hours forming a new friendship. We will...
