I recently spent an incredible seven days at the Maharaja Hotel for our honeymoon, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences of my life. From the moment we arrived, the exceptional service set the tone for our stay. The staff, including Anita, Mashk, and Shaban, were warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure we felt right at home. Every day, our room was meticulously cleaned, and we were pleasantly surprised to find fresh towels and beautiful towel swans arranged on the bed. These thoughtful touches made our honeymoon even more special. One of the highlights of our trip was a special dinner arranged right on the beach. The ambiance was simply magical, with the sound of waves creating a serene backdrop. The food was nothing short of spectacular—each dish not only looked amazing but also burst with flavor. It was clear that every meal was crafted with care and skill. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, offering a perfect blend of luxury and comfort. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, making our stay even more enjoyable. I can wholeheartedly recommend the Maharaja Hotel to anyone looking for a slice of paradise in Zanzibar. Our experience was truly remarkable, and I can't wait to return!

We gave an optimization proposal to the team - those who are in the all-inclusive, will receive bracelets / some kind of sign. This way it will save the guests to notify each time

If you’re seeking a quiet place with friendly people, this is the perfect spot. The peaceful atmosphere allowed me to fully unwind and enjoy my holiday. The property is beautifully maintained, with comfortable rooms and lush, landscaped grounds that make it feel like a true escape. One of the highlights was the stunning beach view—it was incredible to wake up to the sound of the waves and watch the sunset from my balcony. The amenities were excellent, especially the pool area, which was always clean and never too crowded. The staff were outstanding and made my stay unforgettable, especially Mr. ETo at the bar, who was warm and attentive. Overall, an amazing experience in a beautiful setting.

There wasn’t much I didn’t like about this place. However, it would have been nice to have a TV and a fridge in the room for added convenience. The only real drawback was the WiFi connection, which kept dropping intermittently. Other than that, everything else was fantastic.

Five star hotel. The best hotel we could have dream of. The emplacement, the attention, the services was just extraordinary, everything was meticulously cleaned and tidy. Anita’s attention made our stay even better, she was like an angel to us. The staff attention and help was also incredible. The hotel has an amazing view and private beach that we high recommend to use when the sea level is low. You can ask to have lunch outside when sea level is low and have the most romantic and best view ever. The landscape from the hotel is breathtaking. The rooms very extremely cleaned, we had to services per day to prepare the rooms for the day and night. Breakfast was extremely generous and delicious. The bathroom it’s European very clean and luminous, as the rooms. Water was also given by the hotel in the rooms. You can also have coconuts for free during the day freshly taken and cutted which were delicious. Food is generous and very well presented and high quality the breakfast was excellent, you can order whatever you want on the menu and everything we tried was delicious.

It is a small hotel with an amazing view and services. I recommend booking the room with direct sea view. Rooms are very romantic. Dining experience was superb. Chef Suleiman really amazed us with his dishes. I definitely recommend booking at least half-board package. The restaurant offers a la carte menu with different items every day. On some nights they arranged local shows (thanks to Cecelia for the services). Staff are very helpful and kind.

pillows are a bit hard. No shattaf (toilet hoses) in bathroom. No gym yet.

We came to Maharaja for our honeymoon and spent the most lovely 11 days there. It was honestly the best vacation for us. The place is gorgeous, truly feels like 5 star hotel. It’s very intimate and quiet which we greatly appreciated. The staff is beyond words kind, everyone is so friendly and helpful and careful. They constantly went an extra step for us which made our experience even more wonderful. The Villa at which we stayed was sparkling cleaned every day, had everything that we needed. The food was next level!🥰 Special thanks goes to Anita who was the most wonderful host, so helpful, energy ball and a true sunshine of the place ❤️

Everything was perfect!

We stayed at this beautiful resort for 10 nights and had an amazing experience. The nature and surroundings are stunning. Anita and the entire team were incredible—so kind, always happy, and truly made us feel like part of their small family. :) We loved that it’s a small resort, which makes it so peaceful and never crowded. It’s the perfect fit for a relaxing vacation. The food was delicious, and the rooms were spotless. I highly recommend staying here!

This Boutique Hotel was stunning, small, quiet and intimate. We loved the fact that this was a small hotel with limited rooms, meaning that were wasn't crowds of people, it wasn't loud, it was a perfect space to fully unwind, relax and enjoy the lovely scenery. Staff/Management were very friendly and made us feel special and always took great care of us. We stayed in the Luxury Pool Villa, which was amazing, would definitely stay there again, totally worth it, our very own private area with sun loungers, beautiful outlook and our own private pool, which was superb and the perfect size. We literally didn't leave this area for 5 days as we didn't need to, we had everything we wanted and if there was anything we needed staff would accommodate us. We sat in the pool all day and watched the tide go out to reveal a beautiful sandbank and then watched it come back in again, also we had the added bonus of a beautiful sunrise. The Villa was large spacious and clean, with great A/C, comfy beds and wifi connection was amazing. We were able to enjoy lunch in our Villa or relaxing by our private pool and again staff would always check to see if there was anything we needed. Breakfast location was lovely, always clean and set up nicely with a beautiful outlook. Food was lovely, something for everyone and staff were always very attentive. They would always accommodate any requests for food where possible, and food was fresh with a good selection. We had a couple of nights of entertainment which was pleasant and just enough. We wanted a quiet, relaxing 5 days break and that is exactly what we got, couldn't have asked for more and would absolutely recommend.

My husband would have loved a TV in the room but it wasn't a problem.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service that set the tone for our entire stay. The design of the hotel perfectly balances modern luxury with authentic Zanzibari charm, creating a tranquil oasis that feels both exclusive and welcoming. The food was a highlight of our stay. The on-site restaurants served a delicious array of local and international cuisine. Every team member we encountered went above and beyond to make our stay special. Their genuine care and attention to detail were remarkable.

I had an amazing stay at Maharaja Boutique Hotel in Zanzibar with my mum. The staff's warm hospitality made us feel right at home. Nasib and the Manager Shaban went and beyond to make our stay memorable. Our room was spacious, impeccably clean, and offered a stunning view of the ocean. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the amenities provided were thoughtful, making our stay both relaxing and luxurious. The food was also delicious and a wide range of cuisine. It was a memorable experience, and I highly recommend it!

The bath towels (white ones in the bathrooms) would peel on my skin after use. However, they were super clean and comfy.

Our stay at the Boutique was really very relaxing. The resort has the best staff who are always kind and wants to help. I remember Antina and Shabaan and the team at the restaurant, AbdulRahman, Zwina and Ray. The food is fantastic and they make free entertainment show every other day and it is very amusing. The room is spacious and has beautiful view. I booked Excursions with their staff ( Yahya) and it was excellently managed. I also booked massage with them and their therapist, Jane was so professional. Thank you Maharaja Resort.
