The first time I walked through the doors of Zan Orient Bwejuu Beach, I felt like a guest โ not a tourist. And for good reason. This is not a regular hotel โ it's a collection of private apartments, each with two separate bedrooms and its own private pool. The level of privacy and comfort you'll find here is rare even among the best offerings in Zanzibar.
Private apartments โ space for two couples or a family
Each apartment has two separate bedrooms โ perfect for two couples travelling together or a family with children. Every apartment comes with its own private pool. You share it with no one. In the morning you can jump in before anyone else is awake. In the evening you can sit by the pool under the stars in absolute silence. This is a level of luxury that's hard to find at this price point.
Location โ the east coast at its finest
Bwejuu is one of those beaches that hasn't yet been swallowed by mass tourism. Long, white, with low tides creating natural pools full of starfish. Zan Orient sits right by the beach โ in the morning you wake up to the sound of the ocean, in the evening you watch the sunset from the terrace. For anyone who wants to experience the real, peaceful Zanzibar โ there's no better location.
Finish and atmosphere
The apartments are furnished with local character โ wooden shutters, carved details, white walls. The garden is lush and well-kept, and the whole place feels like a quiet, private villa by the ocean. There are no crowds at reception or queues for breakfast โ everything is intimate and personal.
Service and food
The service is what sets Zan Orient apart most. Smiling, helpful, always ready to advise โ where to eat, how to get to other beaches, what not to miss. The bar serves fresh juices, cocktails, and local snacks. Breakfasts are simple but tasty โ tropical fruits, eggs, fresh bread.
Who is Zan Orient Bwejuu Beach for?
For two couples or a family who want their own space and a private pool. For travellers who value authenticity and peace over entertainment and all-inclusive. For those looking for something special on Zanzibar's east coast โ and who refuse to compromise.
