ARYA Boutique Resort

Wonderful place to stay. Only little amount of rooms, personalised service, very close to the beach (1min walk), the pool is also amazing (worth to spend a day chilling there) We had constantly support to organise our activities The people working there are outstanding, very nice, and pay attention to detail. Food and massages are also great! We will definitely come back!

Everything was perfect

We wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional experience we had during our stay in Arya. Before our arrival the communication with Laura was amazing, she answered always fast all my questions willing to help to make our stay perfect. From the moment we arrived in Zanzibar, the level of communication and warmth extended by Christian, Laura from the distance (she wasn’t at the moment there) and the entire team was truly outstanding. The genuine hospitality and kindness we received made our stay memorable. It's evident that you all take great pride in ensuring your guests feel welcomed and valued :)) Everything in Arya is just perfect! Starting from the breakfast options that were not only diverse but also incredibly delicious. The dishes were also a beautiful visual delight with the beautiful flowers ;) It was for sure a fantastic way to start each day of our stay. And of course a big compliment to the comfort of the hotel. The attention to detail in the rooms, the soothing ambiance, and the overall cleanliness truly made us feel at home. We enjoyed the pool in the evening because it was still sunny to enjoy a swim. It was during our stay my boyfriend’s birthday and Laura helped me to prepare him a beautiful surprise for his day. We finished the day having an amazing dinner at the pool! The amazing combination of floral decorations and delicious food (special compliment to the tiramisu) created a a truly magical and memorable evening!!! We will always remember it! Thank you for creating such a wonderful haven for travelers like ourself. We will undoubtedly be returning, and we highly recommend your establishment to anyone seeking a remarkable hotel experience.

Everything was perfect!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

ARYA Boutique Resort is and amazing place , very beautiful, clean, comfortable , the swimming pool is lovely , the breakfast was delicious everything is fresh and so tasty and the location is great. One of the best things is the staff , they are so friendly, helpful and kind it’s been a while since I’m started traveling the world and I never had such an amazing staff as they are . Thank you all for everything , you are the best staff ever. I will come back to ARYA for sure !

Beautiful place, super friendly staff and the owner went so out of her way to make us feel welcome and make our time special with gifts and surprises - completely exceeded our expectations and was very very sweet. The breakfast was delicious and enough for the whole day! And there were two very friendly kitties on the property too :)
