Ras Michamvi Beach Hotel is a nice spot if you are looking for a relaxing vacation far away from the old town of Zanzibar. Located about 1hr drive from Zanzibar airport / port, you can always get a return transfer prior arranged with the hotel. The rooms are spacious, some with sea view while majority with garden view.

We have stayed for four nights in the Ras Michamvi Beach Resort. It's really a very beautiful place directly at the sea. The Resort is small and very quiet. A perfect place for relaxing and recovering. The Staff is very friendly. Also the food is delicous. The rooms are big and very clean. The Resort is really a secret on... More

The place is located on the point, and because it's on the east side, the tide moves in and out depending on the storms, about 200 meters per day. It's like that almost everywhere on the coast, so be ready for it. Regardless, you can walk about 3 beaches down and there is a path to a super nice patch... More

I recently stayed 8 days at the Ras Michamvi. The hotel staff were beyond incredible and always willing to accommodate. They knew all the guests by name. Hotel was extremely clean and food was fantastic. I have several dietary restrictions and they were more than willing to accommodate. There was usually no power during the day but they did warn...
