Bahari Dhow Beach Villas

Its proximity to the beach and that it wasn’t far from the Ukunda airport was a win for us. The breakfast was good especially on “Swahili breakfast”. The staff was very friendly always and helpful when there was need.

The property itself is beautiful with the villas overlooking the pools which are massive. There is a beachside restaurant at the back of the property, and direct access to the ocean with loungers lining the side of the property. We really enjoyed our stay here and our only regret is not staying longer. We stayed 3 days prior in Shanzu, and if we did it again, we’d skip Shanzu altogether and just stay here!

The beach contact was the best of this accommodation. I suggest to choose a deluxe room with balcony. There are 2 others room in a villa. If you have a chance, you are alone, if not, you have to share the kitchen, the fridge :-) and the seating area. Pool is quite clean. Garden is very nice. Bed was comfy, huge room with AC. Fruit jujces are delicious. A Carrefour supermarket is 3 minutes in tuk-tuk.

The grounds were very well kept, clean, the staff was very helpful and friendly. The security kept things at bay and in order when locals would come to do business. Everything was great! The breakfast every morning was an experience to look forward to every morning. Watch for monkeys and Ravens, they will swoop in for your food lol.....

The location was perfect just a few steps from the beach with a great view! The restaurant was also well located with an amazing breakfast buffet menu which I highly recommend for all guests. Finally we were surprisingly pleased to find out they have a live band on Sunday afternoon until evening which we were lucky to have attended!
