Promised Land Lodge

My forever go to place. This is my fifth visit. Its just magical. Could be nice if the menu had more selection and if there would be snacks available to buy, as you really dont want to leave the place at all. The spa lady is very good - had a very lovely massage.

Promise land Lodge, was a small piece of paradise! It was in an idyllic setting, right on the beach. Albeit it is not near much, the place is so lovely you won’t even want to leave!!! The food at the restaurant is so lovely. All the staff are amazing and super friendly. Also the price was amazing! We loved our stay at promise land & will definitely recommend to travellers coming to Zanzibar. It will definitely exceed your expectations.

This wonderful place is located in the south of Zanzibar, we actually were based in Nungwi but decided to spend some days in the south. It was like spending the nights in the jungle. The pool is large and at the bar you always get some nice drinks. It`s simply an amazing place!

A very relaxing place to stay and recuperate. We had a fantastic sea view to the front and side of the room. That did mean that when the storms came we also had a very wet floor as the front just has mesh panels and no windows (but we were very grateful for the refreshing breeze!) but this was quickly dried up with some towels. Housekeeping available everyday and excellent service. Room had a ceiling and a mosquito net over the bed. As it was hot and humid when we were there it could be quite difficult to sleep at night - not the fault of the hotel, just one of those things. The bathroom shower is not contained so be warned that the floor does get very wet and is slow to drain. The pool was great! Most guests don't seem to use it so it was pretty quiet most days. We loved it when the monkeys would come out and swing around the trees by the pool - it's a mini jungle paradise! Access to the sea is down some steps - the water is lovely and clear. Be aware that during load tied you will likely be approached by locals hiding behind rocks on the beach offering boat tours/taxi service etc. The same tours and services are offered by the hotel for a very competitive price so we preferred to book through Promised Land. Lovely bar and restaurant staff. Lovely food especially the Tanzanian fish curry! We stayed for 10 nights so menu was getting a bit samey but most people stay for much shorter period of time. Beautiful, remote location with lovely people to look after you.
