The scorching sun

Property is very well maintained, picturesque architecture and natural beauty, villas are on the rock cliff zero walking distance to ocean and villas have their very private and very serene beach with the marvelous views. Everyone was very supportive and helpful, very big beautiful smile. Meals were the perfection. I am highly allergic person, even though ı insisted to eat only vegetables or fruits, the cook prepared for me gluten free pasta and egg free natural omelet. I loved every bit of those meals. Thank you Safira Blu and all the staff especially “Blu fire” restaurant staff. I love you!!! Thank you for the perfect musical celebration for us.

Loved everything!

Beautiful resort with friendly staff and amazing views. Villa was incredible with great amenities. Food options were very good and certainly did not disappoint.

Nothing - everything was great

This place is luxury! We stayed in a private villa and absolutely loved it—the space, the private pool, and the overall luxury feel were incredible. The resort itself is stunning and very peaceful. The staff's professionalism and attention to detail were truly impressive. Special thanks to Harry! Harry really had genuine care for our well-being in every interaction, he's an excellent manager and welcomes staff well. He was ALWAYS ON-CALL and readily available to meet all of our request's. Cheers Harry! Chef Keith's culinary skills were amazing. Moses was a very friendly staff member who helped around. Overall, the staff at Safira Blu had a a gift for making guests feel like valued members of the Safira Blu family. Thank you!

The only thing we didn't like was the resorts private beach. The beach wasn’t as expected—it looked beautiful in photos, but in reality, it wasn’t swimmable due to seaweed and dirt. We had to go to a nearby local beach instead. Also the ensuite Jacuzzi needs cleaning and maintenance. Other than that it is lovely and guests WILL ENJOY!

Fantastic service. All the staff were very friendly. Villa was beautiful with amazing views. Great cleaning twice a day. They gave personalised gifts when leaving and throughout our stay accomadated all our requests. Special thank you to Chef Keith for the personalised sauces he packed for us to take home as my wife enjoyed them so much during our stay! My wife and I also thoroughly enjoyed the aromatherapy massage with Happy.

Baked goods (croissants and bread) were not fresh

Where can I start! The resort, the villa, the staff, the manager, the surroundings. It was all breathtaking and incredibly to experience and they couldn’t have done a better job of providing a luxury vacation experience for us. If you’re thinking about staying here, then I can promise you that you will be blown away. The service was like no other, anything you wanted - they would get delivered to your villa within seconds. The staff all call you by your name, as they are well prepared and just generally so kind hearted people and the scenery looks like a movie from everywhere on the island. I think I’ve said enough - everyone should visit Safira atleast once in their life, and I am definitely coming back. Thank you Nadir and everyone at the resort!

Absolutely nothing! I wish we stayed longer!

Everything about this resort was exceptional - the pictures make it look much more basic than it is in reality. The architecture throughout is jaw-dropping, the villas are all immaculate, the food is top notch. I am shocked at how good the resort was in its totality. This totally makes the money worth it and the service is impeccable. Through my stay, I was gifted a free couples massage, multiple bouquets of flowers and a leaving gift. The workers were the kindest, most polite I have ever seen. Could not recommend this place enough.

The staff was amazing, everything was so smooth and felt like a home away from home! Shoutout to Harry, Lucas, chef Lawrence and the rest of the team

Nothing can’t wait to come back

SafiraBlu is the most amazing place we have ever stayed! Everything was exceptional…the stunning property grounds, the gorgeous facilities, the pristine water, our beautiful villa and the delicious food. But the most exceptional part about our stay was the amazing staff! Every single person seemed to go out of their way to make sure we had the best vacation ever. We were treated so well at SafiraBlu…their hospitality is absolutely fantastic! Thank you to everyone at SafiraBlu for wonderful Zanzibar vacation memories that we’ll never forget.

Resort and Villa! From start to finish, everything was fantastic. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and we’d especially like to thank Harry, who went above and beyond to make our experience perfect. His attention to detail and dedication to ensuring we had a memorable stay really stood out.The resort itself is beautiful, with one of the most stunning beaches we’ve seen. The food was delicious, and overall, it was truly one of the best stays we’ve had. We’re already planning to return this summer and would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious getaway!

i honestly cannot express how perfect everything was. From the lovely staff to the service to going extra and beyond. I can’t thank you all enough and wil definitely recommend this to everyone and me and my wife will definitely come back. It was 20/10 absolutely spot on. The people were awesome and they make Zanzibar beautiful and perfect. They never say No to anything it is incredible

The beach was not perfect due to crabs and sea urchins but nothing related to the hotel

Loved the fact that, the property was private. The view was immaculate and the villa was beautiful and clean. Room service was excellent and we had access to snacks, waterbottles and Soft drinks in our mini Bar. The room was spacious enough.

Too many insects.

The staff are what make this hotel excellent. The E-Butler is a fantastic idea that just made everything so easy, and convenient. Nothing was too much trouble and it every member of the staff were so attentive, friendly and just good people. The villas have everything you need, are spacious and the most beautiful views. The food was really good too, and made even better by being able to order exactly what you wanted. We were impressed by the vast selection of items on the menu. Housekeeping were also excellent, twice a day visits and were spotlessly clean. We didn’t want for anything. Such a peaceful and relaxing stay. I’d recommend this resort.

For us, everything about this hotel is excellent, however it is quiet which some people may not like!

The villas will far over perform your expectations: the size, the spaces , the level of comfort , the ocean, etcPerfect service of the staff. Any wish only a Whatsup message . Good food . The chef try to meet all your expectations. If you are on full board, you are really in position that you desire to try everything, but have no chance for it . Pool and Jacuzzi over the sea. . Their engagement for your perfect stay absolutely deserves 10

Not strong WiFi The hot water run out Weak electricity ie not support your hair dryer When we left for safari , they not made our room cool by our return and safe was opened

The villa very good with all facilities ( pool, jacuzzi beach access ) all is nice
