KONOKONO BEACH RESORT & SPA

THE NOBU VIEW

The stay

Konokono overlooks Chwaka Bay from the Michamvi Peninsula, with private-pool villas set between garden and shoreline. Beach Pavilions and larger family configurations offer different ways to stay. A quieter Zanzibar retreat for travellers who value personal outdoor space, with tidal beach conditions to consider carefully.

Konokono Beach Resort & Spa occupies the Michamvi Peninsula, overlooking Chwaka Bay on Zanzibar’s southeastern side. Its setting invites a quieter pace, with villa patios, gardens and views across the water providing much of the experience. This is a different location from Paje, so the choice should follow the traveller’s preferred coastal base rather than a broad east-coast label.

The accommodation collection includes Beach Pavilions, Sea View and Garden View Villas, Family Villas and a two-bedroom sea-view option. The hotel’s area figures include outdoor patios, an important distinction when comparing its generous-looking measurements with another property’s interior space.

Restaurant and bar facilities, the beach and pool, and spa experiences provide a framework for days spent close to the resort. Couples can focus on a villa’s outlook, while families have clearly described alternatives with extra sleeping space.
