Pros +
- Staff was really so kind and warm. The room was comfortable. Food was good.
- View, Food, and helpful staff especially Ms. Fadhila
- This hotel represents the highest quality. Everything is new and well maintained. The villas are spacious and beautifully designed. Still, what makes it really special is the service and people that take care of you there. Thanks to their approach you can really enjoy the holiday knowing that they will remember not only your name but also your individual needs like for example diet. Here I would like to mention our individual assistant Beno who was the perfect organizer of our stay at this hotel. Thanks to him I feel we used every hour of our stay and tried everything we wanted. I recommend this place to everybody who wants to rest away from the crowds.
Cons -
- The only thing was that we could not swim in the sea because of the tides and waves.
- Most of the beaches you can't reach because of the rocks, and great low tide
- There’s nothing to add!!!! Really nothing

I will tell you that this is really the best place to be alone with yourself and alone with the service.Amazing cuisine, attentive staff (I do not know how they did it), perfectly designed houses, guys-this is love forever for what you have managed to do.Believe me, I have been living in Zanzibar for quite a long time.
There’s nothing to add!!!! Really nothing
Privacy in our house
The ala carte menu in breakfast and dinner, what's for when you had more than 100 guests . I suggest they do buffet my opinion .because we waited like one hour to get our food at dinner and 45 minutes to get our breakfast
Idyllic, serene, luxurious island resort with incredibly friendly staff, from the General Manager, Mr. Serrour and our host, Samuela, all the way down; all of whom went above and beyond to make our stay uniquely personal, memorable, enjoyable and relaxing. Some of the most fantastic Sunsets to enjoy as well. This all truly made it a one-of-a-kind stay and one we'll never forget surpassing all our expectations. Great choice of restaurants and food led by the amazing executive chef - Chef Giovanni, who was kind enough to create some incredible dining experiences for us. The Swahili breakfast is a must try. Also a special mention to Ju and William as well. Sad to leave and definitely hope to visit again sooner rather than later - I couldn't recommend a stay here enough! Thank you to all at Bawe - we wish you all the very best going forward!
Bawe Island in Zanzibar is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by its serene beauty and tranquil atmosphere. The island, just a short boat ride from the main island of Zanzibar, offers an idyllic escape with its pristine white sandy beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and lush tropical surroundings.The accommodations were nothing short of spectacular. We stayed at a charming beachfront resort where the service was impeccable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile, making us feel right at home. The rooms were spacious, well-appointed, and offered stunning views of the ocean.The highlight of our stay was the island’s natural beauty.The food was also a major standout. Fresh seafood, flavorful local dishes, and a variety of international options were all beautifully prepared. Every meal felt like a celebration of the region’s rich culinary heritage.Bawe Island is a peaceful paradise that offers a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and natural beauty. Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or just a quiet place to unwind, this island is a top choice. It truly exceeded all our expectations, and we can't wait to return!
Peaceful Paradise in Zanzibar
I could say many things about this amazing property, starting with the beautiful rooms and the constant assistance by its super kind staff but to be honest I was particularly impressed by the location that is a real wonder of nature: this place is a paradise. I was upgraded in a Suite and I could enjoy one of the best sunset I can remember in recent times, not to mention the pristine beach. One special mention to the chef who assisted us personally and prepared some unforgettable Italian "spaghetti ai frutti di mare"!
The only problem is that I could not stay longer... but hopefully I'll come back!
If it was possible to translate heavenly holiday into a place that would be Bawe Island.The island is beautiful, the hotel is amazing and the staff is superb. Every little detail is though to make sure your stay is memorable. You’ll not feel a guest you’ll feel as being part of a group of friends where everyone cares for each other.Special thanks to Morris that from the first minute ensured everything ( and I mean every little detail) was taken care. The floating breakfast and the evening dinner at the beach will forever be in our memories.Jamal, Kefa, Morris, Grace, Eva Steven, and Apia, Mr Mehd, Rahma, Alphonce, Sadick, Mohammed, Magreth, Aisha, Maryam, Mussa and Samuela took care of us like no other - THANK YOU so much for making this stay memorable!
