Sharazad Boutique Hotel

Gorgeous surroundings decorated with a lot of care. One of those places where you truly forget what time or day it is, so peaceful and relaxing. We had half board so breakfast and dinner were included. Being vegans, we struggled a little bit initially to find a lot of options, especially for breakfast. However, as soon as the restaurant manager Santosh noticed us, he made it his mission to make sure we were served a delicious vegan breakfast and dinner everyday. He made our experience at the hotel so much better and I will always be thankful to him!

Stunning beach hotel in Jambiani. I just returned from a 3 night stay during a trip to Zanzibar and I wish I had booked for longer. It is set on a dreamy stretch of beach which is pretty quiet in the day apart from kite surfers and occasionally locals selling trips or souvenirs. In addition there are several pools on the grounds of the hotel alongside a beach bar and separate restaurant/bar. Food was some of the best I had in Tanzania. Lots of variety, dietaries are catered for and the breakfast was a never ending offer of fruits, breads, eggs and delicious fresh juices which filled me up for the day. Rooms are modern, stylish and clean. They have added nice touches including a beach bag, yoga mat, beach hat and kimono so you can save on packing those! I can’t recommend this place enough, it felt like a little piece of heaven!

We loved our stay at Sharazad Boutique Hotel. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. Everyone was warm, attentive and genuinely helpful throughout our visit. The food was fresh and delicious, with a good variety to suit different tastes, and we really appreciated the strong links the hotel has with the local community. A real highlight was spending Sunday with the resident artist. He sets up facing the ocean and for just ten dollars you can join him to paint your own version of the sea view, with his gentle guidance. Alternatively, you can simply sit back and watch him work on one of his own pieces. It was such a unique and calming experience. There are four different pools around the property, each with its own atmosphere. We especially enjoyed the jungle pool, where a family of red colobus monkeys spent most of the day in the trees above. It was magical to watch them up close in such a peaceful setting. The beach is beautiful and peaceful, perfect for walks and soaking up the view. However, swimming can be a little tricky at low tide, as the exposed sand is quite soft and mud-like in places, coming almost up to the knee. Sharazad Boutique Hotel is a wonderful place to relax, connect with the surroundings and enjoy something a little different. We would love to return.

Fabulous hotel with a wonderful welcoming atmosphere. It is on a great part of Jambiani beach and directly on the beach. Has a great calm feel and such great staff always happy to help and so friendly. The restaurant had a great variety of food and all of the dishes we tried were delicious. Thank you so much!

Location is amazing, very relaxing. Walking restricted to the beach, easy to get taxi or tuk tuk. Surrounding area is typically African, people very friendly. Bikes available and you can cycle on the beach plus 2 kayaks to use, there is a charge for these, I feel they should be complimentary. Staff a great and helpful. Spa treatments amazing. Special thanks to Matthew and Doreen who we got to know a little better.

Execellent service, a very friendly staff-team and a beuatiful hotel in general with a cool beach bar. Perfect room service by request.
