Decided to get married we looked out for the right place on Zanzibar to do so. A tropical place to marry at the beach within a private environment (just the 2 of us). Something small, unique, special and aside of the bit more crowded places on this island. Based on the excellent recommendations at Tripadvisor Michamvi Sunset Bay became quickly... More

We stayed as a family in March 2013. It was probably the most relaxing vacation we've had in years, and we will definitely be coming back. Everything, from the rooms to the food to the beach to the staff, was perfect - personalized service that wasn't pushy, and the opportunity to do as much or as little as we wanted.... More

My wife and I stayed at Michamvi for three nights at the end of March. The location of the resort is ideal, as it is located away from the bustle of Nungwi (which apparently turns off many tourists), and on Zanzibar's east coast. However unlike other properties on the east coast, because of Michamvi's location in Chwaka Bay, the resort... More

Because of our flight delay we arrived late in the evening and without luggage. The owner was waiting for us and arranged a toothbrush, toothpaste and a few beers on our room. The room was specious, clean and cool. The staff was very friendly, the food excellent.

Michamvi Sunset Bay has everything you need after a long working season. I have been here already a couple of times to relax and unwind. The location is breathtaking. Chwaka Bay with its calm waters, long beaches and stunning sunsets offers everything to put your soul at ease. The sunset bar invites for drinks with Simone and Brad, the management... More

We stayed here for a week from 16th to 23rd February 2013 as a party of 6 - 4 adults and 2 teenage boys (2 families). The resort delivered on so many levels - Anton was a mine of information and his enthusiasm rubbed off on the boys too! He taught 2 of us to snorkel in the hotel pool,... More

In October 2012 my wife and me spent our honeymoon in Tansania. 10 days safari + 2 days Stone Town + 8 days chilling out at Michamwi Sunset Bay. We booked the hotel in advance and as soon as we got there, we knew it was the perfect choice. Our room was lovely decorated with flowers and we had a... More

This place is a 'must' if you want a completely relaxing holiday. White sandy beach shaded by palms, warm dazzling blue ocean, comfortable modern accommodation, good food and outstanding service, this place takes some beating. We arrived here in mid December 2012 feeling tired and jaded after an extremely busy year, we stayed five nights and left feeling completely revitalised... More

I really loved to stay at this hotel. The food was excellent and the staff very nice. Anton that is responsible for the activities did a great job. We joined the snorkeling trip and the dolphin trip. Excellent!

What an awesome experience in Zanzibar. This is a place that speaks to being at home in heaven on earth. From the absolutely awesome hospitality provided by friendly and interested staff to the kind, knowledgeable, caring and attentive management - Brad, Anton, James, you guys are awesome.
