SafiraBlu Luxury Resort & Villas

Highly recommend safira blu, a home away from home, everything was amazing, the staff is great and they really take care of everything!

The resort is absolutely beautiful, and the service was beyond anything we could have imagined. Everyone at SafiraBlu makes sure your stay is as perfect as possible. It’s truly an amazing place!

When it comes to a review, you cannot NOT give SafiraBlu 5 stars, the place is simply perfect. Saying that, you definitely have to be in the mindset that this is Africa and therefore please dont expect it to be as polished as a luxury resort in the Maldives or the Middle East. The journey from the airport for example and little nuances like the electricity flickering make you realise that you're in a part of the world where you really can't take anything for granted, and it makes it all the more special when you see how far people go to make your stay special. I say this simply because some I would hate someone with the wrong attitude to come here and not enjoy it! Just like all the other reviews, I cannot praise the staff enough. Special mentions to all the usual suspects, Harry, Lucas, Malay and the simply awesome chef Keith. These guys run a tight ship and cannot do enough to help you. I emplore you to engage with them as they will make your holiday truly unforgettable. Keith's menu is incredible and we did not touch any processed food for the 8 days we were there. EVERYTHING is fresh, lots of it from within the resort and the seas around it, but saying that, once Keith becomes your new best mate, he goes totally off piste and serves you whatever you want, whenever you want it! Simply incredible. Harry and the front of house team looked after us arranging sunset cruises and Bush Dining that were unforgettable and totally appreciated by the pair of us. They create a Whatsapp group for each villa and they literally reply in seconds to any request you ask them, breeding a familiarity and relationship that I have never seen before at a hotel, it's ingenious. The Masai guys that patrol the resort add a certain uniqueness to the whole experience and whilst their English is limited, they love to show you things and love to engage with you. We will be back and look forward to another idillic stay.

The hotel is amazing, located in a quiet, beautiful area allows you to really relax and unwind from a crazy, stressful life. Spectacular colors of the ocean, garden, exquisite cuisine are the images we took with us. Spacious, large, comfortable villa with its own beach, swimming pool, jacuzzi, fireplace by the ocean gave us intimacy and wonderful rest. Every day, our bar was refilled free of charge and the villa was cleaned twice a day. The staff of the facility was extremely nice and helpful. We wanted to thank you very much for the wonderful, festive time spent together with you, Christmas Eve on the beach will remain in our memory forever. Huge thanks to all the staff, starting from the manager through the cook, restaurant service, cleaning ladies and HAPPY from the SPA. The hotel provided us with transport to and from the airport. Also, the hotel took us on a beautiful boat ride to the sunset as part of our stay, providing us with sandwiches, sweets, drinks, towels and care. We are convinced that we will definitely come back to you, you are the best hotel we have ever been to. Thank you for a wonderful Christmas time, we highly recommend this place.

Excellent service, wonderful location and great food! We never stayed in such a high-class location before. If you are looking for a magical place on Sansibar, this is it. You will not regret it. PS: we highly recommend to book a massage with Happy - so relaxing!
