Our opinion

Hakuna Matata is a hidden gem out on a fantastic secluded bay on the west coast. The sunsets here are amazing and the atmosphere around the palace ruins is extraordinary. The only down side is that at low tide the sea bed is a little rocky. Hakuna Matata Beach Lodge is not far from Stone Town and the food at the hotel restaurant is superb.

If you are looking for a magical intimate experience, and fine service, this is the one.
