The team at MIchamvi were awesome. The experience was very personal, it was like having our own private resort. The management team are South African, a plus for SA people. The hotel is not large which is a major plus for people wanting to relax. The sunset is to die for, you have got to the sunset cruise. The snorkel... More

Went here on honeymoon and the staff looked after us beautifully. The sunset cruise was wonderful and dinner on the beach a perfect end to our stay. Also a great place to learn to snorkel - my wife doesn't swim but they took us out with lifejackets and taught us the basics in no time. The guys are all really... More

Just got back from 4 days at Michamvi Sunset Bay and I cannot say enough great things about this place. After going on safari in Serengeti, my wife and I and 2 friends headed to Zanzibar for a little beach time. Based on excellent tripadvisor reviews, I booked at Michamvi Sunset Bay. All my high expectations were exceeded. From the... More

Well what a place. After Hiking up Kilimanjaro, we decided that some Rest and Relaxation was in order. Well, we have to say - we found it at Michamvi Sunset Bay !! Brad and his staff were outstanding. The beaches are as white as the snow on top of Killi. The food at Michamvi was empeciable. As for the Hotel,... More

I spent a week at Michamvi Sunset Bay with my wife on our honeymoon in March 2012. We had an absoutely awesome time and would recommend it for South Africans wanting a very special honeymoon experience without having to pay Mauritius prices. March is out of season so the 20 room hotel (max capacity of 40 people) only had about... More

My wife and I had the most incredible week at this hotel. We left the kids behind and let the sun tan our backs while we snorkelled and swam in the warm Indian ocean, where the underwater visibility was close on 40 meters and the underwater world so colourful and divergent! It was truly amazing. The best thing about this... More

We've been to Michamvi Sunset Bay twice- most recently we spent two weeks there over this past Christmas and New Years with a group of friends. I would find it very difficult to go anywhere else in Zanzibar! It truly has everything and beyond what I'd wish for. It's small enough that it doesn't have a commercial 'resorty' feel, and... More

Just got back from a week at the Michamvi Sunset Resort - AMAZING The staff were fantastic. The food was "interesting" but you still felt safe eating it. The accommodation was clean comfortable. The beer was cold and the sea was warm. What more coud you ask for. The guys were great at advising and sorting excursions anywhere on the... More
