A hotel that comes close to paradise. Nestled in a small croquette at the end of a chaotic road, everything is done to make you feel at home. All the staff are adorable. Especially Shani at the restaurant. The chef goes out of his way to offer quality food. Away from it all, so don't go if you want to move every day. Sanitary facilities a bit old-fashioned.

Sunshine Bay Lodge offers a wonderful mix of comfort and convenience, featuring 16 bungalows with garden or partial ocean views. It’s an ideal choice for families, with interconnecting rooms and kid-friendly amenities. The property boasts three pools, including a large one and two smaller ones, as well as WiFi throughout. Guests have access to the nearby Sunshine Marine Lodge for diving and yoga classes, with a free shuttle service connecting the two. A standout feature is the day-use rooms, which provide a convenient space for late-checkout guests to freshen up and store luggage. The soon-to-open Azuria Lodge promises to enhance the experience with luxurious amenities and fine dining. Sunshine Bay Lodge stands out for its excellent service and thoughtful details. Alex, the French director, and Ramoth, his exceptional right-hand man, ensure that every guest has a memorable stay. Guests can enjoy the stunning views of Mnemba Island, with easy access to both the diving center at Sunshine Marine and the beautiful beach at Sunshine Bay.

Uten tvil den flotteste plassen vi har vært på. Rommet gav følelsen av å bo på safari, stilrent og god komfort
Området rundt var frodig og flott. Stranden var hvit og ble avgrenset fra resten av hotellene ved høyvann, slik at det gav en følelse av at vi var alene.
Veldig hyggelige ansatte, lokalbefolkning og masaier.

We stayed 2 nights in Sunshine Bay Hotel. We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly attentive and welcoming, ensuring that we felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout our stay. Every request was met with a smile, and they went above and beyond to make our experience seamless.
The hotel facilities were top-notch—everything was pristine and designed with comfort in mind. The room was spacious, beautifully appointed, and offered every amenity I could need. The attention to detail in both the public spaces and private rooms truly stood out.
Whether it was enjoying a delicious meal at the hotel restaurant, relaxing by the pool, or simply taking in the stunning views from the beach, every aspect of the hotel exceeded our expectations. I left feeling fully relaxed and refreshed and can't wait for my next visit!

The hotel and the staff are very good. However, one thing to note about the beach: You can't swim at low tide because there's about 500 meters of reef and it's full of sea urchins. Additionally, there are usually 2-5 very pushy vendors on the beach at low tide.
