Amani Boutique Hotel - Small Luxury Hotels of the World

From the moment we stepped into the hotel the staff were friendly helpful and accommodated all our needs. Thanks go especially to Robert, Rahma, Amina and Sulliman for making our dining and drinking experience just what we wanted. Turning just at the right time to replenish drinks whether that be at breakfast or at an evening meal. The hotel was spotlessly clean. Rooms were spacious with everything we needed. Even though we had a partial ocean view room and looked out over property being developed we were not in there enough for us to be bothered. The beach was gorgeous and walking into the sea Ona daily basis was a must. Security at the hotel was good and there were no issues.

We had a lovely 5 night stay at the Amani hotel recently, nothing was too much trouble, the service was excellent. Robert managed his team with precision and was charming as was all the staff, special mention to Sulamen and Josephine . We will stay at this hotel again when we come back to Zanzibar

Once again a wonderful holiday at Amani. From the very warm welcome back from Elizabeth through the great service in the restaurant from Robert and his team together with ready smile and professional attitude of all the staff, everything was to our taste. Talking of taste, all meals were excellent with a wide choice. As ever, our room was comfortable and very clean and well maintained and the hotel a quiet oasis on the lovely beach of the Indian Ocean. Thank you everybody, we hope to be back with you all in the not too distant future.

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!

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.
