We had a fantastic stay in Zanzibar and we loved both hotels (Sharazad Oasis and Sevi Boutique Hotel). Exactly the size we love. Very relaxing and awesome locations. Heaven on earth! The bungalows were big, cozy and the hotel amenities more than we could expect. The food was delicious in both, but particularly in Sevi.

We actually enjoyed the Sevi even more – but that was due to the employees being so nice to us and wow…those smiles!!! We were treated like king & queen! So really thank you for your recommendations. Our stay was fantastic, and it was very hard to leave actually! Thank you !!!

Hi Victoria, I wanted to thank you for an amazing trip. Everything went absolutely seamlessly. The transfers were efficient, on time and professional. Your recommendations on accommodation were spot-on. We absolutely loved Kijani. Aliya is amazing. She took so much care and trouble with my daughter, and all her dietary “fusses”. She is an absolute asset to the lodge. I have no doubt that Kijani will very soon become one of the most sought after and exclusive destinations in Zanzibar. It is truly a hidden gem and I very much hope that we will be able to stay again next year.
Kind Regards, The Reid Girls

Hi Victoria, we all returned home safely after an exceptional stay at Mr Kahawa Villa, which was beyond our expectations. Everything was perfect, thanks to Ramesh (cook) and Asia who is a gem. The 2 little monkeys also brightened up the stay with their amusing behaviour, it was very cute. The layout, the environment of the villa and the access to the sea are absolutely ideal, all this with the ease of contact and the constant help with Mr Kahawa hotel. The quality, variety and freshness of the meals suited us all. Not to mention the cleanliness and maintenance are of an excellent level.

Now a little word for you, without whom we would never have been able to make this trip. Your availability, the speed of your answers to all sorts of questions, concerning the villa as well as the environment, and all the organization (number of different nights, different transfers, shopping along the trip, car rental etc.) gave me such confidence that when I arrived on site, the film unfolded as we had written, you and I, since last August, without a false note. Just bravo and THANK YOU!

Kilindi was superb – a really great and well-run resort in every way!

Our family recently returned from an extraordinary holiday organised by Zanzibar Retreats, and we are so grateful for Victoria’s exceptional service and attention to detail. From beginning to end, everything was thoughtfully planned, making it one of the most seamless and memorable trips we’ve ever had.

Victoria recommended Zi Villa, a charming property full of character and nestled in a serene location. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by its tranquil setting and impeccable service.

Our stay at Villa Solymar was equally delightful. This modern beachfront haven boasted breathtaking views and easy access to Jambiani’s vibrant restaurants and activities. The villas are stylishly designed and well-maintained and offer a comfortable and relaxing retreat for the entire family.

Dear Victoria, thanks for the great service, we had a very good time in Zanzibar! Transfers and tours were very well organized and great quality.

The rooftop dinner at Emerson on Hurumzi was special!

Sharazad was sooooo nice, the bungalow on the beach lovely and the food really great. Thank you!

I have just stayed 5 nights at SEVI Boutique Hotel in Zanzibar, which was organized through Zanzibar Retreats.
I must say that I found Zanzibar Retreats to be very efficient during the whole booking and paying process, as well as taking care of the logistics of getting from and to the airport.

As regards SEVI, I can only say that this hotel is really outstanding in every way. The appointment of the lovely cottages, whether on the front, or behind amongst the nature, was excellent… as was the service throughout and the friendliness of the staff… Pongezi!! But THE most extraordinary thing about this hotel is the restaurant where the food is truly outstanding, by any yardstick. I have no idea who the chef is, but he deserves a medal!! Truly beyond normal…
