Food was great - with the full-board option it was probably the highest quality “all-inclusive” experience we had. Beach, pool, and water sports were all great. The resort itself is nice but still feels African which is why we booked it originally.
Matthew, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was wonderful, starting with impeccable service, staff is so attentive and make you feel so welcome. The location and the beach is stunning, the rooms are beautifully decorated and spacious, the restaurant has an excellent menu. I highly recommend! And I also loved the spa!

Catharina, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful Boutique Hotel with a nearby 'sister' hotel. We took the half board plan (breakfast and dinner) and at lunch dined at some of the other near by resorts. The employees were extremely friendly and helpful everyday. The food was quite good at both resorts. The intimacy of this resort was great. Beach has some of the finest, softest white sand we've ever walked on. What a joy to stay here. Highly recommend.
Susan, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Highly recommend staying at Mvuvi if staying on the east side of the island! Staff was always attentive and made sure our stay was wonderful. Both restaurants were fantastic! It was easy to book all of our excursions through Mvuvi and made it super convenient. Overall, we had a fantastic stay.

Refreshing Quiet in Zanzibar

Gorgeous quiet resort owned by Italian couple that has provided a retreat on the Zanzibar coast. Delicious food and great service. I was here with a friend after a business conference in Dar es Salaam and very happy I chose this place of quiet and refreshment.

Amazing hotel!

There were three of us who stayed here for 5 days over Christmas. Everything was fantastic, the food, the environment, the activities, the service. It was exactly what we were looking for and more. I would definitely recommend staying here. Thank you for a great vacation!
Christina, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Setting was lovely as were the staff. The food was very good but the room was very basic. Very small, no chair and nowhere to put luggage, only on the floor which was difficult and a trip hazard. Our outside space was great but our room was under the kitchen which was very noisy. Overall way too expensive for what we got.
Gillian, 2-night trip

A beautiful resort with nice clean rooms, nice pool & the best food we had our whole holiday! We had half board & were blown away by the food. The best beach right outside your door & wonderful staff.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about my stay at Mvuvi. The facilities were amazing but the staff and their attention to detail was probably the best part. I felt pampered and so taken care of throughout my entire stay.

This was my best hotel stay in Zanibar. The staff was great and the dining service was so delicious! You can dine at both hotels. The body scrub massage is a must. The rooms was very clean and quiet. They accommodated my coconut allergies by going out buying me body wash, hand soap, shampoo and conditioner.

Brilliant a couldn’t have asked for more

Incredible service from the staff on every level was what made this place - as well as it being beautiful. Very quiet and relaxed, loved the food (most other restaurants couldn’t compete) and was impressed by the tours we did with them. The room was stunning and cleaned twice a day. A little bit of peace for a week was what we needed

We had an amazing stay at Mvuvi and Zanzibar. Carolina arranged everything so easily and made our stay a relaxing one. All staff at Mvuvi make you feel at home. Views from the property are incredible. We will certainly come back for a longer stay next time.

Mvuvi Resort provides the perfect idyllic beach respite - it is quiet and relaxing. The staff were amazing - helpful and kind (and very accommodating when my outgoing flight got cancelled and I was rebooked on one leaving 5 hours later). I would love to come back!

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 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).

This was an amazing boutique property with pleasant and very helpful staff. With all that said, the only negative is the immediate area/neighborhood outside of the gate. The management should spend more to enhance the standard of the area and help the people living in that area. This would make it more inviting for guests like us who wanted to go fora walk the area.
