Property Overview

VOI Kiwengwa Resort occupies a beachfront setting on Zanzibar’s east coast. Its wooden buildings are furnished in a traditional style and spread through a tropical garden that extends towards Kiwengwa Beach.

The movement of the tides is particularly visible along this coastline. At low tide, the water recedes across a broad stretch of sand, while the beach changes again as the ocean returns.

Facilities include a freshwater swimming pool with a separate shallow area for children, a wellness centre and an extensive sports area. Daytime activities, evening entertainment and themed parties are organised by the resort’s animation team.

How far is the nearest beach?

VOI Kiwengwa Resort is positioned directly on Kiwengwa Beach, so guests can reach the sand from the resort grounds. The white shoreline varies considerably in width with the tides, extending from approximately 20 to 200 metres, and low tide creates opportunities for longer walks towards the reef.

Distance from Airport

Zanzibar International Airport is approximately 45 kilometres from VOI Kiwengwa Resort. The duration of the road transfer will depend on traffic and local road conditions.

Rooms

The resort currently offers Classic Rooms and Comfort Rooms, both furnished with a combination of local influences and modern amenities.

Classic Rooms measure approximately 30 square metres and accommodate up to three guests. They have been fully renovated and are positioned close to the botanical garden, slightly farther from the sea than the other accommodation.

Comfort Rooms measure approximately 42 square metres and are surrounded by the resort’s tropical greenery. Their interiors use Zanzibari-inspired colours and materials, with views facing either the gardens or the sea. Room facilities listed by TripAdvisor include air conditioning, a private balcony, safe, minibar, private bathroom and hairdryer.

Food & Drink

Ngalawa is the resort’s main restaurant, serving Italian and international dishes through buffet and grill stations. With the all-inclusive arrangement, meals include water, house wine, local draught beer and soft drinks.

The Garden Pizza Restaurant offers an Italian menu by reservation, including cold cuts, fresh vegetables, pizza and desserts. Lobster dinners featuring traditional island recipes are available at an additional charge.

Nanga Bar, located in the main building, serves late breakfast, American coffee, draught drinks, local spirits, house wine and craft beer. Beside the beach and swimming pool, Baobab Beach Café e Restaurant provides sweet and savoury snacks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and a lunchtime buffet or pizzeria service.

SPA & Wellness

VOI Kiwengwa Resort has a freshwater swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers, with a separate shallow section reserved for children. A wellness centre is located beside the pool and offers relaxation services at an additional charge.

The official hotel information confirms the presence of the wellness space but does not currently publish a detailed treatment menu. Individual services and prices should therefore be checked directly with the resort.
