Amani Boutique Hotel

We had 2 rooms for the 4 of us for 5 nights. Everything was perfect or just about perfect. Location - in a quiet corner of Paje beach, 15-20m walk along the beach or 25m on street to the center of town. Away from most (not all) of the hawkers trying to sell you stuff. It’s 1h15m from Stone Town which we did in a day trip Staff - A+. Robert and his team in the kitchen/ restaurant were stellar. Front desk/ cleaning crew - all great and friendly Property - it’s small (14 rooms) which suited us. After an evening in the restaurant you recognize all the faces and make a friend or two. Wednesday evening was a cocktail and music evening. Rooms - good sized (not humongous), running hot water. Clean/ luxurious

I fully enjoyed my week at Amani hotel, I loved the location, which was a 10m walk from the busy part of Paje. The room was large and luxurious, and I found the bed very comfortable. The staff immediately changed my pillow to a much softer one when requested. Make sure you book a room with an ocean view, as it makes all the difference in the world. Many thanks to the entire staff for working hard to make our stay perfect. The only reason I gave the hotel 4 stars vs 5 is because there is construction next doors, though it is only heard from the room facing the construction site.

We stayed for 4 nights as a party of 6. Everything from the time we were met at the airport to when we left was perfect, attentive, friendly and professional team. We stayed half board Sun to Thurs and it was good to have buffet and a la carte on different night, the Weds night Swahili cocktail and authentic evening with live sax band was a real treat. Robert and his team always on hand for anything you needed. 3 of our group has Spa treatments which were excellent. The hotel was spotless and well maintained with well manicured gardens, right on the beach, with only 15 rooms it felt like you were a guest at a private villa. We enjoyed our stay and recommend to any future Zanzibar visitors.

Overall excellent experience, extremely well managed front office, Elizabeth is a perfect host, varied dining options, perfectly presented, Swahili night was a highlight. Well done Robert and team! The rooms were very well appointed and maintained impeccably clean. The beauty packages were expertly delivered and the beach area was just a lovely natural and comfortable setting. Nothing was too much trouble for the Amani team!

Amani Boutique Hotel in Paje is a true gem on the shores of Zanzibar. With just 15 rooms, it offers an intimate and peaceful atmosphere, perfect for couples or solo travelers seeking relaxation. The rooms are spotless, spacious, and tastefully decorated, with quiet air-conditioning and attentive housekeeping twice a day. The beachfront location is stunning, and it’s just a short walk to the center of Paje. The staff—especially Robert, Anna, and Alfred—go above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome. Breakfast is fresh and delicious, and the à-la-carte dinner menu is superb. Amani is pure island bliss.
