Amani Boutique Hotel

We stayed at the Amani Boutique Hotel near Paje during our vacation in Zanzibar, and it was truly a wonderful experience. From the very first moment, we felt warmly welcomed. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always went the extra mile. It often felt like they could read our wishes before we even spoke them! Their warmth and professionalism truly made our stay unforgettable. The hotel itself is spotless, beautifully maintained, and very well equipped. The location between Jambiani and Paje is excellent, offering both convenience and a peaceful atmosphere. The food was consistently delicious and offered a great variety, from fresh local dishes with authentic Zanzibar flavors to international options that were equally well-prepared. Every meal felt special, with beautifully presented plates and high-quality ingredients. Breakfast was plentiful and always a great start into the day, while dinners often felt like a fine dining experience. We also treated ourselves to several relaxing massages during our stay, which were wonderful. On our last evening, a live band played during dinner, creating a truly memorable and special atmosphere. Although we didn’t make use of them, the hotel also offers the possibility to organize tours and activities, which is a great added bonus for anyone who wants to explore the surroundings. All in all, our stay was perfect in every way. I can highly recommend the Amani Boutique Hotel, we will definitely return in the future!

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!
