5 star treatment in beautiful intimate boutique hotel

The staff were amazing, they went out of their way to make our stay full of surprises, full of Love, with impeccable service and exceptional personal and bespoke treatment. The rooms are beautiful and very comfortable and spacious. The lunch & breakfasts were the best food we had in Kiwenga. Marie was amazing at making sure we had all we needed. Laura was always available via WhatsApp to ensure we had 5star treatment. The gardener and room cleaner were such a delight, creating beautiful displays for us! Nothing was too much hassle for anyone. We had an unforgettable stay and are so grateful for all the attention to detail. The pool is perfect for kids and to dip into during hot afternoons. The beach is beautiful and super close!

Nothing all great.

Wonderful, memorable stay.

Beautiful small hotel with lovely garden and pool accessed directly from our two bedroom thatched cottage. The whole place has been really well conceived and offers a peaceful oasis away from the hustle and bustle. Our kids loved the walk in pool. Friendly, helpful staff and owner Laura who arranged a really special surprise and gifts for my wife’s big birthday. Tasty food for dinner and breakfast with the kitchen happy to accommodate our kids requests. The massages from the spa were excellent! We had a really memorable stay and would recommend. We had read about the beaches on the east coast being really tidal and difficult to swim in due to the sea urchins but didn’t find that to be an issue here. There were a number of shops and restaurants along the beach front.

Very little not to like. Minor point but our cottage might have benefitted from a comfy chair. Worth also noting that it is not beach front, instead set back behind another small hotel/bar property and small lane - the booking.com filters has it listed as ‘beachfront’. Beach access is very easy and they have an arrangement with the neighbouring property to use their sun loungers.

Incredible experience at Arya Boutique Resort

Our stay at Arya Boutique Resort has been an absolutely amazing experience! This was a trip to celebrate our honeymoon and we were certainly treated like royalty (which I saw so many others had stated in their reviews and yet my expectations were still exceeded!). The staff were ever so polite and genuinely willing to assist when we needed something. The cherry on top was Laura's kindness, generosity and transparency of her personality. We felt so comfortable and were incredibly spoiled by Laura and the staff. This truly was a hearty experience. Arya Boutique Resort is a very special place indeed. I would highly recommend it.

Great experience

Small relaxed hotel, 20m from the beach, in the heart of a cute miniature garden with swimming pool, with nice, comfortable and clean rooms. Very good breakfast and dinner. Truly dedicated and gentle staff always ready and happy to assist you to reach the best possible experience : Laura (manager) always available, Alì at the restaurant very sympathetic and Mubarak at the desk. Very pleasant stay!

Visiting Zanzibar is a strong experience... we will remember it for a lifetime :-D.

We loved the breakfast!!! It was so beautifully served, delicious and enjoyable :-). The pool area is amazing as well, quiet, private and refreshing.

The beach was quite dirty because of the seaweed. Could be cleaned by the staff, but it depends on the season I think.

Lovely intimate boutique hotel near the beach.

Lovely boutique hotel steps away from the beach. Quite, clean with great breakfast. Staff were kind and helpful throughout. Laura arranged some lovely surprises for our honeymoon and was really responsive to all questions we had. We highly recommend it.

Could consider improving the coffee selection - non instant coffee was payable. Excursion was disappointing and not value for money.

Great stay at a beautiful little resort, off the beautiful beach of Kiwengwa. Staff super friendly and helpful, beautifu

A beautiful little boutique resort just off the beautiful beach of Kiwengwa. It was very peaceful, clean and had stylish interiors. The pool area was beautiful. All the staff were so friendly and helpful, especially the owner Laura and Sheha. They decorated our room so beautifully for our honeymoon arrival, and also gave us severally little beautiful gifts. So kind and thoughtful.

In a couple of months Arya will have even more to offer once the restaurant is in full flow, we just wished we could have enjoyed this whilst there. However there are plenty of other options on the beach. The Maasai men and women on the beach were annoying constantly asking if we wanted to buy things, but that was at no fault to the hotel.

Fabulous

As the name suggests its a small boutique place (around 10 rooms). We stayed in the Family suite with a kind of private pool access. Morning walk at the beach was fantabulous as the property is next to the beach (less than 1 min walk from our room). Laura (owner), although not physically present, but it looked as though she is around taking care of minutest of things like breakfast, lunch etc. We had requested for Vegetarian and the chef did magic. The driver, Remi, was also very nice and helpful through out our stay. As said the property is small/cozy so it can not be compared to a full blown resort facilities but we found it to be very nice.

A quaint little hotel , rooms tastefully decorated with caring friendly staff.

The hotel is right on the beach and having only 5 rooms you get a very personal service from the great staff. They excelled themselves with a birthday treat, a special day indeed.

The beach bar is a little expensive compared to others nearby , a minor gripe .

Nice experience.

Nice location, friendly staff. Close to the beach, however not at the beach with no sea view from rooms or pool. Best to explain better on website to avoid wrong expectations. View from breakfast room.

Breakfast service not optimal, slow service, run down area to sir, not very yummy. Website images no not 100% comply with reality, swimmingpool outdated and not inviting to use. Rooms are away from the beach (view).

Superb

The Hotel is small and cosy but has all the amenities one needs. For the beach you just have to step outside the hotel and make a few steps. The breakfast is served in building nearby on a upstairs terrace with a beautiful view. On the beach you can find several restaurants (that were all very helpful to make us vegetarian dishes). The Hotel staff was absolutley marvelous, always cheerful, happy and very friendy. We had an amazing time. Thank you!

The only downpour is that when lying on the beach there are always Masaii people walking by and wanting to talk to you or bring you into their shops.

Thank you for giving us an unforgettable honeymoon 🥰

It is with a heavy heart we left this property. The staff and intimacy of the resort cannot be beaten! It was like staying with dear friends! From the moment of booking throughout our stay and departure, Laura the owner, has kept in touch. Making sure everything is as we please. This level of service and commitment is something other properties can learn a thing or 2 from. We had a deluxe suite and that was exceeded our expectations. The level of details, everything was well thought of. Bonus points for Netflix on the TV and a consistent WiFi connection. This made our stay even better. The grounds of the hotel are lush and green and very well kept. We loved going for evening swims after getting back from dinner. The pool was so tranquil. We loved laying in the pool and watching the stars above. What made our stay even more memorable is the fact that the staff went out of their way and surprised us with decorations for our 10 year wedding anniversary. They really made our special day!

The locations was superb, right next to the beach with a lovely bar in front. Breakfast was incredible- platter of fresh fruit, followed by your choice! Maryam even played with our daughter during it! We were looked after from start to finish and the hotel staff went above and beyond when helping me with my wife's and daughter's birthdays! An experience they will never forget :)

Great location next to the beach, really quiet place. Nice garden in the backyard with a great pool and garden in it. The staff is great and the room service is exceptional, I cannot describe the friendliness. I am looking forward to coming next time!

Since you are on the other side of the island, if you want to take a cab or a driver from the place to some other place, expect it to be around $50, multiple it by the number of visits you want to make it can add up, but again, you are pretty much traveling to other sides of the island.

I initially booked just 3 nights but the moment I got there I knew will stay longer. Sparkling clean, super comfy beds great location and amazing staff. Actually host reached out to me before my flight to give me details on test for Covid, pickup taxi or anything I needed during my stay. Attention of details in hotel makes the difference, even they offer French power sockets in the rooms. Breakfast 🥞 🍳 included in room rate was really good!

Maybe restaurant food variety for lunch or dinner. Most of restaurants have the same so maybe it is generally the same in Kiwengwa.

incredible!!! We were 3 friends on vacation in Zanzibar. We made the best hotel choice. The room is amazing, large very clean and direct access to the pool from our room. The staff are very attentive to us, at any time and for any request, we were treated like princesses! Laura organized our excursions and our trips to us, she is attentive and very human. If you are looking for a quiet hotel, far from the big hotel with lots of tourists, choose this one. The beach is a few steps from our room, it is very beautiful and you can eat your breakfast facing the sea every morning its amazing. Thank you again laura and her team we will be back !!
