THE NOBU VIEW

The stay

A small, family-run hotel on Nungwi’s beachfront, with gardens, a swimming pool and balcony or patio rooms. Smiles operates as an alcohol-free hotel, an important consideration for the stay.

Smiles Beach Hotel is a small, family-run beachfront stay in Nungwi, with gardens, a pool and rooms opening onto balconies or patios. Its scale and the proximity of the sand make it a natural candidate for travellers who prefer a straightforward beach base to a large resort programme. The hotel lists 22 rooms, with ocean-facing accommodation set among tropical planting.

The established room choices include Deluxe Double, Deluxe Triple and Superior Twin.

The restaurant offers Zanzibari and international food, including seafood and vegetarian choices. An important part of the hotel’s character is its alcohol-free policy: Smiles describes itself as a dry hotel operating on Islamic principles. It is a good match for guests comfortable with that approach, including families wanting beach time in an informal setting.
