Mvuvi Boutique Resort

We loved the location on the beach and the private area with a guard. The food was lovely and well presented. The room had everything we needed but did smell a bit damp. I think the moisture in the humid air is hard to control. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Grace went out of her way to make our trip relaxing. We loved Samwell a newish trainee who works very hard and has a great sense of humour. My only criticism is that no fresh coffee is offered or available at the hotel. I had to go next door to get my fix. We would definitely visit again and bring the cafetière. Shame with all the lovely African coffee on offer.

We had 2 rooms for our family at Mvuvi which is on the lovely Kiwengwa beach with powder white sand and beautiful turquoise water. The resort is small, private and a bit rustic but fit our family perfectly. If you are looking for a big, party place, keep looking. The staff led by Grace was very attentive and always available. Grace helped us with excursions and even gave us a partial refund when we were disappointed in one outing. She also helped us when there was a problem with something we had booked ahead of time and it worked out great. The food at Mvuvi is outstanding! There were good vegetarian options as well. I would have preferred regular coffee rather than instant but that is minor. The dining room is upstairs with a lovely view. WiFi is spotty and only worked for us in the dining room but I think that is quite common in Zanzibar. Thank you Grace and everyone at Mvuvi for making our stay so special!

This place is amazing ! Relaxing. Perfect for couples or family that seek peace and quite!!! Where shall I begin...? From the rose water they provide to wash your hands and the delicious juice they offer at arrival or the amazing hospitality ? Grace, has been an amazing host. Has arranged my excursions based on my schedule and needs. I was in need of bandaids and she went above and beyond on getting some from the pharmacy and bringing them directly to me!!! Clean place and great food! I highly recommend it !

Everything about Mvuvi resort was EXCELLENT. the hotel is on a white sand beach with its own private area. There is a reef just off the beach with many fish and some healthy coral-reached by a dhow(small boat that you stand up in) A "captain" sails the boat. Our room was a good size with fan and aircon and was spotless. Always had HOT showers., The hotel staff (organised by Grace)were so obliging-- anything we asked about or wanted they sorted. This included a car and driver for a half day-cost 35$ We had half board and the food was really good. Choices for breakfast and a four course meal for dinner which you chose after breakfast.The food was cooked to perfection and served quietly and professionally .We would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a truely relaxed time in a paradise location.

The staff was amazing special thanks to Grace, Blandina and mangager Alexandro,.

Exceptional boutique resort (6 rooms) on a beautiful beach. Alessandro the host is incredible and extremely accommodationg. The same goes for all of the hotel staff. Food (Italian) is quite good and the menu changes each day. Highly recommended for a pleasant and relaxing beach getaway or R & R.

Beautiful Boutique Hotel directly at the Beach of Zanzibar East Coast. The rooms are spacious with a tasteful arranged Bedroom, attached very functional wardrobe and huge bathroom. The outside terraces is located opposite the small pool. The Main Building with the First Floor Restaurant is absolutely gorgeous and provides a great view to the beach and ocean. The team around Mr. Alessandro was more than lovely, served and helped always with a smile. They arranged also our tours (Scuba Diving with One Ocean, Spice Farm, Stone Town, Sandbank and Prison Island) perfectly. Homemade bisquits, tarts, bread and buns tasted so delicious, hard to stop. The dinner was always a highlight with generally 2 options of 4 courses to choose and the chef put a lot of effort to let us have every day a new and different exprience. Gracie and Asante sana Dear Mvuvi Team. We truly enjoyed a great time in your Hotel. Saula and Jens

Lovely cosy resort with 8 rooms and really friendly staff. The beach was beautiful and the food incredible!

It was the best decision to stay in the small and cozy resort. If you want to calm down quietly, enjoy tasty food, good massages and be surrounded by very professional staff, this is the place to go. There is no internet in the room, but in the dinning area, library and the courtyard.

The place looks like Paradise. An extra special effort was made to manage our dietary requirements (gluten-free and vegetarian). They made me special gluten free pancakes and rice bread which was highly appreciated (although only one chef made really good pancakes, I noticed on her day off that the pancakes were not great!) A few things got lost in translation with the local staff. Their English was excellent, but sometimes I would have to take a bit of extra time to explain what I wanted. Once they understood what you wanted they would go the extra mile to help. Millie - the lovely Italian lady in charge - was great at anticipating our needs and made sure that we were well looked after throughout. The hotel was primarily couples but we were a group of friends. Having climbed Kilimanjaro beforehand, we were after a quiet break so it was perfect. The other resorts further along the beach were much bigger and louder, and didn't have the exclusive, peaceful feel of this boutique. The staff also made an extra special effort to keep our part of the beach clean. We were a group of 5 so we had one double and one triple room. In the triple room that we had, there was two nice 4-poster beds and then a makeshift bed in the corner. The makeshift was comfortable enough but if you are travelling as a three you might like to let the person in the makeshift bed pay a bit less or rotate beds.
