Have been to many different places around the world and this by far is the best. The resort is so tranquil. The staff are exceptional also. Our butler Felicia was outstanding could no do enough for us to make are trip so special. We are very fussy plain eaters and she made sure every night there was something for us. The villas and the beds were beautiful and so comfortable. Somewhere I would go back to in the future

This is, without a doubt, the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm hospitality that instantly made me feel at home. The attention to detail throughout my stay was extraordinary, turning this trip into an unforgettable experience. A special mention to the welcome drinks personally offered by the management—a thoughtful gesture that set the tone for the exceptional service to come. I was assigned a dedicated butler, and I can’t praise him enough. He went above and beyond in every way, ensuring I was always comfortable and had everything I needed. Truly outstanding service! The room was absolute perfection—elegant, spacious, immaculately clean, and tastefully designed to blend luxury with local charm. Every element, from the linens to the lighting, felt curated for a flawless experience. The surroundings are some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen—nature at its most breathtaking. And when night fell, the African sky came alive. There’s something magical about it that made me feel deeply connected and completely at peace—like being home in the most unexpected way. Honestly, this hotel deserves 7 stars, not just 5. Every part of my stay was exceptional: - World-class service - Personalized attention - Luxurious and comfortable rooms - Stunning natural beauty - A sense of home, thousands of miles away I will definitely be coming back. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s an experience I’ll never forget.

This is a beautiful island with everything you could ever want to enjoy your stay in Paradise. The staff were so friendly and warm and nothing was too much effort for them. The sunset bar was definitely the highlight of my stay and the perfect place to enjoy an African sunset.

Incredible! What an excellent island getaway with the most attentive service I’ve ever seen. The food was beyond expectations and their level of service is second to none. We wanted a quiet, relaxing stay and it delivered. The staff were so warm and friendly that it almost felt unreal. The rooms were a constant theme in our photos and the private pool made it such an intimate experience. Highly recommended!

I’ve traveled to many places, but nothing compares to the experience I had on Bawe Island in Zanzibar. This private island is the very definition of paradise – crystal-clear turquoise waters, soft white sand, and a peaceful atmosphere that feels completely untouched. One of the highlights of my stay was the incredible service provided by Anwar, who worked as my assistant during my time on the island. He was kind, professional, and genuinely caring – always making sure everything was perfect and that I felt completely at ease. His presence made the whole experience feel even more personal and unforgettable. Bawe Island is the perfect getaway for anyone looking to relax, disconnect, and experience nature at its most beautiful. The sunsets were magical, the food was fresh and full of flavor, and the entire place felt like a dream. I can’t recommend Bawe Island enough – and if Anwar is there to welcome you, you’re in the best hands possible.
