It was the most amazing experience, everyone was helpful and it felt like home. Oh and the food amazing. I am definitely going back. Josia, Ken were so helpful and made us feel right at home. Rooms are cosy and the aesthetic beautiful. Keep up the good work.

My partner and I stayed at Michamvi Sunset Bay in January and it was a wonderful experience. It’s a relaxing and well serviced hotel, although it’s not got much to do near by. So if you are looking for an adventure type holiday, this is not your place. If you are looking to totally chill out and relax, and eat yummy food – this is your place! The bedrooms are nicely designed and spacious, and bathrooms are new and clean. You get fresh milk in your room for cups of coffee/tea whenever you want, which is a nice touch. Shirley the GM is an absolute delight and gives everyone personal service making sure every guest is happy. Congratulations Shirley on how you run this hotel! And she is well supported with friendly staff. The food is amazing, from breakfast, lunch to dinner - always different choices to try. You get a beautiful sunset every night which is such a highlight and nice to have pre dinner drinks watching it go down. It’s such a bonus to get the sunset on Zanzibar without having to go up to busy Nungwi.

Where do we even begin?! Just the most perfect peaceful place to stay on a very quiet part of the island. We had been on safari so were hoping for somewhere relaxing to chill out for the remainder of our trip, and Michamvi Sunset Bay Resort was beautiful. The beach bar is gorgeous and the drinks are all delicious - we took the cocktail tasting very seriously and definitely indulged! We loved the dinner location changing each night, and all the options on the menu were delicious and very fresh. All the staff are extremely friendly and do anything they can to help you. We both had massages and again, perfect and so relaxing. We did say that we have never been somewhere so clean, our room and the outside space were permanently immaculate. The list of possible excursions is long, and you can absolutely make it what you'd like to be, whether that is seeking hustle and bustle in Stone Town, snorkelling on reefs or day/sunset trips on a dhow - or just relaxing and enjoying paradise. Our room was very comfortable and quiet, and there were endless private places to relax across the hotel. We will absolutely be back!

Heaven on Earth! We just left after out second visit and this place is absolutely magical. It is very small, but it still feels like you have many options to choose from. From hanging out in the magical beach bar to lying by the beautiful pool or exploring the water on the paddle boards. Each night a new location is chosen for dinner and this really helps create variety and make each experience unique. There is the most magical sunset every night that we never get tired off. But what we love the most is the people. Huge thank you to Shirley for always making us safe and happy, and to the whole staff. We will definitely be back again!

Everything is absolut fantastic. The rooms, the food and the personel. The only thing which isnt about the hotel, is the tidewater and you have to spend a lot of dollars if you want to see something because the hotel is far from everything. We came to relax and had a really Great time

Michamvi is beautiful and a great option for those spending time in Zanzibar. It's cut off and not a commercial part of the island. Sunset Bay is located on a beautiful stretch of the beach but we were left wanting for more with the experience. It's a small family run property but there are just too many rules that I would not expect while on holiday. No room service. Fixed dinner menu with no flexibility. Rigid timings. They would not even serve starters at the bar. You have to walk over to the restaurant. Shower did not work properly. AC did not work for our 4 day stay despite multiple follow ups. Very high currency conversion rates while signing off the final bill compared to rates we got in other parts of the island. Properties coming up on either side of this place. Location is great. Might be better options to look at.
