Amani Boutique Hotel - Small Luxury Hotels of the World

We were so lucky to stay in the most beautiful room in the hotel (room number 10) for a whole week. Spacious, on the first floor, with a balcony, great view of the pool, the beach and the ocean. The hotel and the room are decorated with taste. The hotel is meticulously clean. Beautiful and well maintained garden and beach area. Note that, as with all the other hotels in the area, the sun beds are not placed close by the sea because of the high tide and privacy, but this is perfect anyhow. Overall the staff is superb, service minded and well trained. This applies to the gardeners , the cleaning ladies, drivers, the equipment boy, the waitresses/waiters, the cooks and chef and everyone I forgot. In the restaurant the staff is very friendly, with big smiles and humor. Everybody made us feel very welcome. A special thanks to Sulaiman, Penda, Josephine, Amina, Robert, Rahma, Sybil, Elizabeth and Saumu for making our stay so memorable. We had half board so we ate breakfast and dinner here every night. The breakfast buffet was very good and elaborate, with fresh fried eggs and pancakes. Dinner was very tasty with fresh ingredients from the area. We did in total 4 different massages and they were very good. We highly recommend doing this during your stay. Very fast and clear communication with Elizabeth from the front desk before and during our stay. Conclusion: Amani delivered top quality. Thank you! Ps snorkeling at the blue lagoon is highly recommended!

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

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!
