Milele Beach Resort

From check in to check out we were liked after. More often than not we had the pool and beach to ourselves…absolute paradise

Everyone at Milele is very happy and helpful. The breakfast each morning was great, the lunch and dinners we had in the restaurant were very good. The location is great if you want somewhere that is quiet and away from the busier stretches of beach front. We had a hire car so could get out and about easily, otherwise there are tons of taxis available anytime you need them. There's no "beach boys" on the beach in front of the resort pestering you. We stayed in one of the bungalows overlooking the beach, which was brilliant, everything in the room we needed and a nice couch outside to sip cocktails and watch the people out fishing in the rockpools. The beach in front of the hotel is only swimmable near high tides, but at lower tides there are lots of rockpools to explore and see various crabs, starfish, fish, and other creatures. When we did go for a swim at high tide it was like a bath, warmest sea I've ever been in. We organised a snorkelling trip to Mnemba Island through the hotel and that was a lot of fun, all went very smoothly. We would definitely stay here again.

Not much to dislike about the place. We didn't like leaving!

We had the most incredible time during our honeymoon, an experience that exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Isabella and her son Nicolò, who were always available for anything we needed, whether it was organizing excursions, booking a taxi, or simply offering advice to help us enjoy the island to the fullest. It was our first time in Zanzibar and everything felt magical. The attention to detail was extraordinary: from the high-quality products provided, like creams and shampoos, to the way we were constantly looked after with kindness and care. You can truly feel how much thought and heart goes into every aspect of the experience. Isabella and Nicolò were always present, thoughtful, and ready to help with anything, creating a sense of comfort that stayed with us every day. A special mention goes to Omar, our guide during the excursions, who was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. His explanations were clear, interesting, and filled with local insight, which helped us connect even more deeply with the beauty and culture of Zanzibar. The staff, all coordinated with dedication by Isabella, were simply fantastic: friendly, genuine, and always ready with a smile. They helped create the most relaxing and joyful atmosphere we could imagine. And the food, what a lovely surprise! The cuisine is Italian at its heart, but enriched with touches of local tradition, making every dish unique, delicious, and full of flavor. Dining here was always a pleasure and something we looked forward to each day. This has truly been the most beautiful trip of our lives, and while we’re sad to leave, we know this is not a goodbye, but just a “see you soon.”

After 10 days on safari, staying at Milele was simply incredible for relaxing! It’s such a cozy place, and the staff is absolutely amazing. Lisa was especially attentive and kind—she was always checking in to make sure everything was okay and made us feel completely at home, like part of the Milele family. All the staff were wonderful, but I want to give a special shout-out to Anna. You have no idea how amazing she was—such a unique person, always ready to help. She was so kind that she even wrote down detailed instructions on how to take a dala dala (local bus) to the city center, and it worked out perfectly! One more thing…the food is fantastic! The chefs are Italian, so you can imagine how delicious everything was—and the prices are really reasonable compared to other restaurants in Zanzibar. Also, the breakfast is absolutely spectacular. Thank you so, so much, Milele team!

Everything was wonderful

Amazing stay at Milele Beach Resort. Felt like home with the lovely warmth of the owner Lisa, along with Hassan and Theresa who made sure my stay remains super comfortable throughout my whole vacation. Location is perfect, right at the beach, where you can get mesmerized by the beautiful sunrise in the morning! Breakfast is really good, many options to choose from. Also make sure to order pizza for lunch or dinner, yumm! Great view from the hotel, relaxing mood, friendly staff and they even granted me a late check out for my evening flight. Much recommended!

The location and views were stunning and the staff were so friendly and helpful no matter what our requests for food or drinks. First class

Everything was perfect for a long and relaxing stay in paradise

The Milele Beach Resort is situated in a tranquil and picturesque part of the island, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking relaxation. Isabella, the hotel director, pours her heart and soul into the establishment, even when faced with challenges from local authorities. Her vast life experience and genuine honesty make her a valuable advisor to guests. Alongside her, Hassan tirelessly catered to our every need around the clock, offering assistance on any topic. This isn't a corporate chain hotel; it feels more like a charming family-run establishment where every staff member is part of the family. The food was consistently good, and the service was friendly. The exceptionally friendly staff ensured our room was impeccably cleaned two to three times daily.
