Bella Vista Resort Zanzibar

On Zanzibar’s south coast in Kizimkazi, Bella Vista Resort sits beachfront just steps from Dimbani Beach. Minutes from the village, it’s within reach of Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park and a drive from Jambiani and Paje beaches.

A compact 4-star beach resort with about 15 guestrooms, many with garden balconies and some with sea views. Rooms are air-conditioned and simple-chic with LCD TVs, in-room safes, desks, electric kettles and rainfall showers. Daily housekeeping, hairdryers and a relaxed island vibe complete the stay.

Soak in the outdoor pool, unwind with onsite massages at the spa, or let kids loose in the kid's club—family-friendly fun by the shore. There’s a diving club, bicycle rental, a poolside bar and beachfront restaurant with pool views. Free Wi-Fi and activities like darts, hiking and cycling keep days active; wake up to sea-breeze mornings.

Features include a meeting room, 24-hour reception, luggage storage and free self-parking. Roundtrip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge and the tour desk can arrange excursions and transfers.

Bella Vista Restaurant serves African and local cuisine on the beachfront with a bar and pool views. Breakfast is offered (local options available) and guests can book half board or full board; limited room service is also provided.
