Mbweni Ruins Hotel
Set in botanic gardens by the ocean, the hotel is 10 minutes from Stone Town or
from the Airport but is an oasis of peace to return to after your busy day.
Mbweni offers accommodation for no more than 30 guests. All the rooms are air-conditioned,
with ceiling fans and louvred windows to the balcony. They are furnished in exotic
Zanzibar style and every room has views of the Indian Ocean and the gardens.
The crystal clear fresh water pool, enfolded by the lush gardens lies on the
edge of the beach, between the rooms and the restaurant where traditional spicy foods and a
panoply of seafood delicacies await the discerning diner. The jetty passes through the
mangroves (you can borrow the hotel kayak to explore them!) to the sea - making
embarkation to Chumbe Island and other boats much easier! The Mangrove Bar
perches over the ocean, perfect for that evening drink while you watch
the sunset! Or the older Sundowner Bar (rhs) next to the Raintree
Restaurant, offers a comfortable and shady venue
for meeting friends.
