Ocean Boutique Hotel — Hotel in Unguja

We had the most amazing week at the Ocean Boutique Hotel for our honeymoon. The hotel is beautiful and right on the beach with every room having a view of the ocean. It is very quiet and a little piece of paradise which was just what we wanted. We had champagne on arrival as part of the honeymoon package and the room was beautifully decorated.| Evalyne, Yasinta and Deborah at the front desk were so helpful with anything we needed and organised a surprise dinner on the beach for us which was so gorgeous. They’d put so much thought into it.|The hotel, pool area and room was immaculately clean. |The waiters and waitresses made our holiday extra special. Augustino, Peter, Suleman, Kelvin, Milka, Alisha (sorry if we’ve forgotten anyone!) were amazing from start to finish and went above beyond. We really can’t thank them enough.|Breakfast was a buffet with lots of options, fresh omelettes and pancakes, pastries and cereals. We loved having coffee looking out over the beach. Late morning fresh fruit and cold towels were brought round by the pool. |The evening meal was a la carte or buffet and there were lots of choices for us who are vegetarian. The a la carte was 3-4 courses and really gorgeous food. The chef Ally came to speak to us after each meal and all the team who served us on the buffet evenings were so lovely. We had planned to visit other restaurants but the food was so good, service was wonderful and we had a sea view every evening so there was nothing more we could have asked for. |The area of Dongwe is quiet so we used taxis to visit other places (Paje was about 15 minutes away) but quiet was just perfect for us on our honeymoon. You could go out on a boat trip from next door to the hotel with the blue lagoon just a few minutes away which was great for snorkelling. ||I would highly recommend this hotel and it will always be a special place for us....

We would like to thank the Ocean Boutique Hotel for the most wonderful seven days of our lives! 🩷

We have traveled to many places around the world, yet we have never experienced such exceptional service, stunning surroundings, and outstanding hospitality anywhere before!

Let me begin by saying that this hotel is a true hidden gem, where everyone works with dedication to ensure guests have a perfect stay. Impeccable cleanliness can be found in the rooms and throughout every corner of the hotel, the food is of restaurant quality, and the comfort surpasses even that of any five-star property. The lush greenery, breathtaking views, and elegant décor are simply unforgettable!✨

Even in European countries, I had never experienced such thoughtful care as someone with gluten and dairy intolerance. Here, however, I am deeply grateful to the chef, who went above and beyond to ensure that every meal was complete, fulfilling, and delicious—so I could enjoy everything without missing out. The flavors and quality of the dishes easily rival those of a Michelin-starred restaurant!🔝

Our heartfelt thanks also go to Evalyna, who did everything in her power to make this the most romantic week of our lives. She is a true fairy, and without her, the hotel could never run so flawlessly! 🩷

Kelvin! Peter! Viscad! Augustino! Thank you for everything! You are wonderful people, and we feel so lucky to have met you! 🩷 Your kindness and your smiles brightened every single day of our stay. The hotel should be proud to have such exceptional staff members as you!💕

We can only recommend this place to anyone traveling to Zanzibar. If it were possible, we would gladly give it a ten-star rating!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

💕With...

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Ocean Boutique Resort on Zanzibar, and I can confidently say it was one of the most memorable experiences of my travels.

From the moment we arrived, the incredibly friendly and attentive staff made us feel at home. Their warmth and hospitality truly set the tone for the entire stay.

The rooms are absolutely stunning—spacious, immaculately clean, and designed with a perfect balance of comfort and elegance. Waking up to the breathtaking ocean view from our balcony every morning felt like a dream come true.

One of the highlights of our stay was the beachfront restaurant. The food was nothing short of outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, every meal was a culinary delight.

We were also fortunate to experience the resort’s Swahili Night, held every Thursday. The combination of traditional Swahili dishes, live music, and the lively atmosphere made it an unforgettable evening. It was a wonderful opportunity to immerse ourselves in the local culture while enjoying the best food we had on the island.

The location of the resort is unbeatable, with direct access to a pristine beach and crystal-clear waters. Whether lounging by the beach, taking a stroll along the shore, or simply relaxing to the sound of the waves, it was pure paradise.

Ocean Boutique Resort exceeded all of our expectations and left us with memories to treasure for a lifetime. I cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone looking for a perfect getaway...
