We've enjoyed several excellent lunches at the Aurora. The menu is great, with original ideas. The food is locally sourced, including juice from fruits grown in the garden. The setting is lovely and the welcome is warm. Highly recommended!

Very Nice quality food and extremely good service. Fusion food from a former London topchef, good Wine and Nice surroundings.

Best value for food and service on the island! They are close to the beach, have gorgeous rooms, a lovely pool and amazing food. Very much recommend it- Everything on the menu is delicious!

Stop looking and do your self a favour and have a lunch or dinner at Aurora. After 4 weeks here I discovered this place and it really is exceptional! From the moment you walk in and are met with wam smiling faces to the wonderful...menu and delicious food. International standards at Local Zanzibar prices, wether a quick light lunch with friends or a romantic dinner for 2 this is without doubt the place to come, you really won’t be disappointed.More

This is a new, stylish hotel that has already become a hard one to book, as guests who were lucky to discover Aurora are falling in love with this place and then just keep extending their stays. The same happened to me. After almost a...month spent in Zanzibar in different hotels, I finally arrived in Aurora. I booked for 5 nights and the day I arrived I extended my stay for another week, and then for a few days more. Happy that I did it in time, because later when I checked it was already fully booked for those days.  Everything here is sparklingly clean, functioning and well taken care of. There is an amazing vibe created by people who work there and people who stay there. The rooms are very-very clean and spacious. There is a terrace with two comfy sunbeds in each room and you can leave the balcony door open for constant fresh air thanks to mosquito nets on the doors. The shower is new and super-stylish. The WiFi works perfectly, inside and outside the room, at any time of the day, which is sooo rare for Zanzibar and is sooo important when you work remotely. People who work in the hotel and restaurant are friendly, welcoming, smiling, very professional and super nice to talk to, with great English. Everyone is doing an excellent job. The hotel is owned by a lovely couple Marisa and Simone. Marisa is always around and is always happy to help you with everything you may need. She is very attentive to every guest, and really cares about your stay. Simone is Aurora restaurant's Chef. The restaurant... Well, the restaurant deserves a separate review. In short, it's worth traveling to Zanzibar just to visit this place.They serve fusion style seafood (seared crusted pistachios tuna is my favourite), some amazing desserts (the icecream is fantastic), salads, wraps, burgers, and many many more. Everything looks and tastes like in a Michelin-star restaurant. Even if you stay somewhere else, you just have to visit this place. The hotel is not right on the beach, however after almost a month spent in the beachside hotels I actually liked it to be a bit further away from all the hustle. For the beach you need to walk only 5 minutes or so, it's really not far. Oh and there are two super cute pets at the property - a dog Django and a cat, and they are friends. I enjoyed watching them playing together. Now to disadvantages. Once you get used to the level of food and service at Aurora, it becomes really hard to eat and stay at other places. So keep it in mind when booking this hotel.More

We were recommended this hotel by friends who stayed there in November when Aurora just started operating. Everything is brand new, it is the same feeling as driving a new car oder wearing a new dress. Hosts are lovely and they know how to treat...you well! They also made all of their furniture locally which is great support for the community! As to the food.... the restaurant is on side and Simone is doing his best to please big and small wishes if you are bit picky like myself. We will be back soon.More

Amazing place and overall experience. The hosts and staff are very friendly and helpful. If you are after a serene, clean quiet place then this is it. They also helped us plan for activities and shopping around the area. Loved the attention to detail on...everything. Jambiani visit is not complete without trying out this place. Looking forward to another visit. Asante sana!More

My husband and I stayed here in November for two weeks. The Hotel is very welcoming and well run by the friendly owners. Lovely peaceful, location. Spacious, spotless, airy rooms with fabulous tasty food. Can’t wait to return!❤️

I would just like to thank the hosts Simone and Marisa. I had the most relaxing experience here at Aurora and they both made me feel very welcome. My partner and I stayed for a week at Aurora and from the food to the cleanliness,...this hotel truly cannot be faulted. It's in a great location, close to local amenities. The beach is well kept, but I preferred chilling by the pool each day. I would highly recommend this hotel for couples who are looking for a romantic getaway and somewhere that isnt too noisy or kids running everywhere! 5 stars, thank you so much guys xxxMore

This is amazing hotel with excellent service! Food of this restaurant deserves a Michelin star :) Comfortable rooms, best atmosphere! We will be happy to return to this hotel again ☺️
