Overview

We stayed at Dolphin View in March 2009 and are very excited about the potential and excellent value of this new resort. They are fully open and all the main features of the resort have been completed, apart from the tennis courts, gym, and the new spa building. We have already received excellent feedback from many clients that we have sent there, and there is certainly nothing to rival the size, quality, and value for money of these Villas anywhere else in Zanzibar in 2009.

Newly opened the Zanzibar Dolphin View Paradise Resort has been specifically designed to meet the increasing demand from international travelers seeking for an authentic atmosphere without compromising on comfort, facilities or intimacy. Both local and international architects combined forces to ensure that the true Zanzibari spirit was captured and the magic of the location was not lost.

Whilst modern facilities are available, the resort remains simple and embraces the amazing scenery and uses traditional architectural style.

The concept offers all the advantages of a service minded boutique hotel combined with the leisure facilities of a larger scale Resort & Spa.

Our opinion

This is still something of a hidden gem in Zanzibar, offering high quality accommodation at incredibly competitive prices. The manager and staff are excellent, and the villas are simply stunning – larger than anything else in this price range, and perfect for both families and honeymooning couples, as each villa feels like your own private house.

The spa is also excellent, and the long jetty is a great spot for enjoying drinks as the sun sinks into the sea. The beach here is also very pretty, and the snorkelling is great. We think over the coming year Dolphin View looks set to take its place among some of the best hotels in Zanzibar.
