Alladin Beach Hotel and SPA Zanzibar, branded Alladin Boutique Beach Hotel and SPA, is a beachfront hotel at Kigomani, Matemwe, Unguja North Region, 73108, Tanzania, on Zanzibar’s northeastern coast. Its setting beside a traditional fishing village combines Indian Ocean views, a tropical garden, and access to snorkeling trips around Mnemba Atoll. Designed exclusively for guests aged 15 and over, it suits couples and older teenagers seeking a quieter coastal stay rather than a children’s resort.
What to Expect at Alladin Beach Hotel and SPA Zanzibar
Accommodation is organized around three categories: King Ocean View, King Partial Ocean View, and the larger Deluxe Apartment. Both king categories measure 20 square meters and accommodate two guests; the 50-square-meter apartment accommodates up to four. The King Ocean View includes a king-size bed, air conditioning, an attached bathroom, coffee machine, minibar, Wi-Fi, safe, and bath amenities. Choose it for the sea-facing outlook; consider the apartment when space matters more than a compact couple’s room.
The restaurant gives local seafood a prominent place. Cumin Tiger Prawn & Avocado Salad costs US$10 and combines mango, cucumber, herbs, dried tomatoes, chili flakes, and lime dressing. Zanzibar Grilled King Prawns cost US$20, accompanied by chips or rice, passion fruit sauce, and kachumbari—the Tanzanian tomato, onion, and lime salad. Whole local fish, grilled or fried, costs US$16. Breakfast, drinks, and an all-inclusive package have separate menu sections. Discuss vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy requirements directly before choosing a meal package.
- Direct beachfront setting: White sand and an Indian Ocean outlook define the property’s position beside Kigomani village.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
The hotel places itself approximately 50 kilometers from Zanzibar’s main airport, Abeid Amani Karume International Airport. Arrange an airport transfer with your flight details rather than relying on a tightly timed public-transport connection. Dala-dalas toward Matemwe are useful for flexible, lightly packed travelers, but a taxi is simpler with luggage. Reserve ocean-view rooms and spa appointments ahead, and request treatment choices, payment methods, cancellation conditions, and meal-package inclusions in writing. Lightweight resort clothing works on the property; cover shoulders and knees when walking through the village.
Take an early beach walk before the midday heat, pairing the shoreline immediately outside with Kigomani’s village lanes, reachable within a short 5–15-minute stroll. Ask before photographing residents or fishing activity. This coast is strongly tidal: low water exposes reef flats, while swimming and boat departures depend on tide and weather. Mnemba is a boat excursion, not a walkable attraction, and snorkeling trips do not imply access to the private island. Beach sand and tidal flats are difficult for wheelchairs and strollers; request a precise room-to-restaurant route, step details, and bathroom dimensions before booking if step-free access is essential.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the hours, and when is the best time to visit?
Confirm check-in, check-out, dining, and spa hours when booking your stay. Early morning is comfortable for beach walks; plan swimming and boat outings around the day’s tides.
How much does it cost, and should I reserve?
Accommodation falls in the $$$ tier, with dates and room category determining the nightly quote. Reserve directly; the published seafood menu includes US$16 whole fish and US$20 king prawns.
How long should I stay?
Allow three to five nights for beach time, a spa appointment, and an offshore excursion. That also leaves flexibility if wind or sea conditions disrupt boat plans.
Is the hotel suitable for families and wheelchair users?
Guests must be at least 15, including those sharing the four-person apartment. Travelers needing accessible accommodation should discuss routes and bathrooms directly; the sandy beachfront itself is not a firm, step-free surface.
