BEST VACATION SPOT EVER !!
11/10 best vacation + resort I've been to this far. We could've stayed here for a month and still wouldn't have been enough 😭 Thank you to the Upendo Beach staff for being so nice and welcoming, we can't wait to come back!!
If you're in Africa and looking a quick getaway or want to come to Zanzibar, def consider staying at Upendo. Only three private rentals on the property, loads of activities, wonderful staff, 10/10 food, and best view on the island ☀️☀️
PRIVATE suites only so you feel like a celebrity - we loved the vibe and will be back in January to stay in the large villa that sleeps 10!

Beautiful secluded private villa right on the beach with private pool. Personal Butler assigned to villa was very responsive. In addition to bring all meals to my villa the butler helped with setting up excursions/tours as well as required COVID testing for departure. Owner was friendly and stopped by a couple of time of times to make sure things were going well.

Superb facilities. the perfect place to relax !
Fabulous facilities with amazing service and food. The villa is amazing in design and functionality and has great views on The Rock . The place is perfect to relax and chill while still having enough flow of locals and other tourist so you do not feel completely isolated.
We truly enjoyed the place and we would definitely come again !!

The staff was attentive and so kind at this resort. Quiet, beautiful, peaceful and paradise- they really try to help you relax and take it “pole pole”.The rooms are magical and like living in a luxury tree house . The hotel is at the end of a beach right across from The Rock so you’re getting the quiet bedroom huts and beach lounge chairs poolside and beachfront, but able to see the beautiful ocean and Rock and some local fisherman’s Activity at the same time right in front of you when you look out. Easy to pop out and walk barefoot down the beach to several GREAT restaurants steps away that are all very different (one amazing italian (believe it or not) called Baladin which is also a hotel and a serves great locally made beer , and a fabulous bare bones local catch of the day fish place called Pandu Ngozi Restaurant. They’re also able to get you a quick and cheap taxi to Kae funk bar to watch the amazing sunset or hang out with safari beers in the water at Lahaina beach bar.
