Michamvi Sunset Bay Hotel - Michamvi Kae

Intimate beachfront resort on Chwaka Bay, Zanzibar - with only 20 rooms

Accommodations

Michamvi Sunset Bay has 20 guest rooms, each with a private patio or balcony that overlooks the Indian Ocean. All rooms include air conditioning, a seating area, and a private bathroom with a hairdryer. The hotel's small size allows for a personalized stay, with staff who often learn guests' names by arrival.

Dining

Two restaurants at Michamvi Sunset Bay serve meals with ocean views, and dinner is served in a different scenic spot each night-on the beach, near the kitchen, or in the garden. The menu changes daily and includes Swahili specialties, European dishes, and a Saturday night Swahili buffet. Guests on half board receive a daily three-course dinner with fish, meat, and vegetarian options.

Spa & Wellness

The on-site Jungle Spa is set in a lush tropical garden and offers a range of treatments: back massage, body scrub, foot and full body massage, manicure, and pedicure. An outdoor swimming pool with sun loungers and umbrellas is open year-round. The spa provides packages that include full-body treatments and wellness experiences.

Activities & Excursions

Michamvi Sunset Bay provides complimentary water sports: snorkeling gear, kayaks, and paddle boards are free for guests to use. The resort can arrange guided excursions to Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, Prison Island, and Forodhani Garden, as well as sunset cruises and sandbank picnics. Walking tours, bicycle rental, fishing, and canoeing are also available on site.

Beach & Grounds

Directly on a powder-white sandy beach, the hotel has a private beach area that is not shared with other resorts. Guests have access to sun loungers, beach umbrellas, and a beachfront bar that serves drinks during sunset. The garden features shaded seating, board games, and a kids' outdoor play equipment set.
