Qambani Luxury Resort

Everything about Qambani Luxury Resort was perfect-we loved it. The hotel is a beautiful oasis overlooking the Indian Ocean. The decor in the main area and in the villa is gorgeous: relaxed elegance. The infinity pool is lovely as is the surrounding pool area. The food is top quality and delicious, and if something on the menu doesn’t suit you they will gladly amend things for you. We did some day trips in Zanzibar and the hotel arranged them for us. While the hotel itself and its facilities are top notch, it is the staff that makes this place special. The staff we met from housekeeping, gardeners, waiting staff, pool area staff, to the supervisors we dealt with, each and everyone was helpful, polite, professional and exceptionally warm and friendly. Their attention to detail is excellent and they welcome you with a warm smile. We also had a bit of fun with them too-they have great personalties. We spent a week here (after a weeks safari) and we really were sad to leave. If it’s some relaxation you want in a small luxury resort that is not stuffy but full of smiles and warmth, look no further. I would recommend this resort in a heartbeat. Thankyou for such a lovely stay.

Qambani is a lovely, quiet resort with a wonderful atmosphere. The food is excellent, the staff are friendly and helpful, the rooms are comfortable and lovingly decorated. I especially appreciate the overall aesthetic of the decor looking like it was cobbled together from shipwrecks and driftwood. It adds a vibe that I have not experienced before but very much enjoyed! It's a unique and wonderful place. All of these things would have earned Qambani 5 stars by themselves, but I really wish I could give them 6 stars. They went above and beyond for us. We were caught up in the troubles from the recent election. Our flight home was cancelled with no option to rebook, due to nationwide Internet outage. Desperate, we called Qambani for help. They sent their driver back to the airport to get us. They let us back into our room for the rest of the night, even though we had already checked out. They arranged us accommodations for the following night (at a discount, as they only had space in their more expensive suites) with full board. The manager even came running to our room when the Internet service was briefly restored to inform us so we could rebook our flight home. That small window of Internet was all we got for the remainder of our stay. Qambani bent over backwards to help us. We are truly grateful to them. Thanks to them, we made it home safe.

After 6 days on safari we wanted to rest in Zanzibar and chose to stay at the Qambani resort for 4 days. We wished we had stayed longer! The place is magical! The lounge area, the pools, our house (Plantation), everything was gorgeous and spacious! You're never in other people's bubbles. And what can I say about the extremely relaxing atmosphere. Except for a little music from time to time, no noise, no shouts, just the sound of the waves... Heaven! As to the food, it was very good with a tendency to be a bit rich and portions are huge! Don't hesitate to ask for less or customise the options. Another plus for a shelling enthusiast like myself, the beach at low tide is incredible. I spent at least 30 minutes every day to find new shells. The only thing that saddened me was the plastic pollution of the area. I wish I could go back to clean the beach every day! Finally, I'd like to say that service was amazing, everybody was so kind and helpful, and you made us really feel that we were home. We really hope to be back soon!

What a spoiling!! A beautifully appointed chalet with such attention to detail to make for a perfect stay. Excellent communication from our hosts. To top it all was the most delicious 5 course dinner and breakfast the next morning. Such accommodating, friendly service from everyone. We will be back! Thank you.

We had the pleasure of staying 5 nights at Qambani and already on the first day we felt at home here. The resort is stunningly beautiful but it is the team that makes the stay unforgettable. The service is nothing but the best and everyone is SO friendly. We simply did not want to leave. Many thanks to the entire Qambani team. We will be back!

Qambani is breathtaking in every way. Staff went out of their way to make our stay a wonderful experience. Food and service were excellent. The only drawback was the long, bumpy ride to the property from the airport. Next time we might take a boat and swim to shore. It would be worth it to visit Qambani again!
