Tulia Zanzibar Unique Beach Resort

One of the best places we have ever stayed. We loved it so much we extended our stay for an extra day. We just didn't want to leave. We are a family travelling with small children and the Resort was very kid friendly. We were greeted with the incredible staff and management upon arrival with a platter of beautiful fruits and yummy hibiscus juice, while they checked us in. Then we were kindly escorted to our room which was the ocean front villa. The room was huge with one large bed and two smaller beds which was perfect for our small children. The room also offered great outdoor seating and additional lounge chairs which were great for the private pool. It also had a hammock which is always one of my favourite places to chill so great plus. The amenities at the property felt endless. There is an awesome gym, yoga, spa(which a complimentary massage is offered with stay), free access to paddle boards and kayak, multiple swimming pools(one with a swim up bar). This All-inclusive also offers premium drinks which is a nice upgrade with high quality spirits to choose from. The food was top notch definitely the quality of a 5 star restaurant in the states. The attention to detail and presentation in each plate was above and beyond. As someone who worked and managed in the restaurant/service industry for over 20 years at some very high end restaurants I can tend to have very high expectations when it comes to the food. Tulia's head chef was exceptional and my expectations where more then exceeded. The food was actually one of my favourite parts of our stay I was just always excited to see what they were going to create with each new dish. Our family would highly recommend staying here!!!!

We were so pleasantly surprised at this beautiful secluded resort. Having previously stayed in Seychelles before and having found the experience in Seychelles to be “average”, we arrived to Tulia with low expectations. We were very wrong! Arrival was royal with a team of ten-plus staffwaiting for us inside the gates. That welcome set the tone for the whole week. The staff is incredibly attentive. Two ?managers basically never leave (so sorry I forgot the names). Certainly, food/drink service is generally on “island time” but that is to be expected. But those two ladies managing/guest relations were literally always visible, so we knew if we needed anything at all, we could ask. The resort only has around 20 suites, so it always felt uncrowded and private. The grounds are well kept and beautiful. Rooms: clean and nice. Sinks are a little small but no big deal. A/C is perfect, able to get as cool as you might wish to have. Recommend sea front rooms, definitely best! Our kids had a garden room and there is no comparison. There are frequent power outages but luckily only last a minute or so. That’s the island, not Tulia. Service: Outstanding. Aside from “island time” for drink service depending on the bartender. Probably 5 staff for every guest. Always checking on you, all day long. Gym: nice and adequate. Barbells only up to 20kg but there is a barbell with plenty of plates. 1 treadmill, bike and elliptical Spa: Excellent. Basic in terms of the facility, but very good masseuses! Food: Outsanding. Different menu daily. And live entertainment every night, which was so cool. Awesome flexibility to dine at any time you wish within the opening hours. Overall: Totally changed our impression of African beach luxury. Awesome resort, will come back for sure!

I don't write many reviews but this hotel really deserves it ! With the very entering of the resort they make you feel that you have come to the right place, to feel at home, to feel cared for and cared in exactly the best way. The atmosphere everywhere is cozy, everyone is smiling, they are ready to do anything to make their guests feel satisfied and happy and they do it from the heart and it shows! The pictures don't even show how beautiful the nature is there, the guys who maintain the garden are phenomenal, down to the smallest detail. For us, in terms of price and quality, they are unsurpassed! Everything was extremely tasty and beautiful, high quality drinks, cocktails and service.Special thanks to all the great team who made my birthday unforgettable, with all the surprises, you guys are great! and last but not least the outstanding Michelle! an amazing professional, an amazing person..without her, Tulia will not be the same !

I stayed in Tulsa for 2 weeks and it was beyond perfect! the staff are the kindest and so lovely, they are always smiling to you and giving you the best feeling ever. the rooms are big and super clean all the time. I highly recommended on this hotel, it was really outstanding and I will be back for sure!

Our experience at Tulia in Uganda was truly remarkable. Despite its small size, this charming resort felt like a paradise. The food, largely sourced from their organic farm, was exceptional. Our beach villa exuded romance and a dream-like ambiance. Yet, what truly left a lasting impression was the exceptional staff. Michaelle, in particular, exceeded all expectations to ensure our stay was unforgettable. She graciously led us on a tour of the resort, showcasing its every charm. Her warmth and guidance enhanced our experience immensely.

This is a lovely boutique hotel and well managed. The accommodation is beautiful, clean and well equipped, with green gardens with fantastic plant, plenty of space. We stayed at a beach front villa which was beautiful. We enjoyed the stunning sea views. The food is just incredible and consistently beautifully presented. The executive chef and team are to be congratulated on providing some of the best food I’ve tasted anywhere, with great choices, lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, fish and they uses almost exclusively natural materials for food. On top of all that, I have to mention about Tulia, which is the staff. They are very kind, warm, always smiling and everyone working for you to have the best experience. But Michelle certainly deserves a special mention as well. She is in management staff and she made us really feeling important and extremely well and followed us all the time for giving us the best experience at the resort. I want say thanks to Michelle and owner for complementary special dinner for us în the garden!! Thank you to every one for helping to make our stay special!! Mandi & Alexandru from Romania

My favourite things were: The food. Hands down the best food I've ever had in my entire life. The staff. Everyone in the staff is extremely kind and nice. You can tell they love their job and each other. They really are the ones that create a relaxed and dreamy atmosphere and make the difference during your stay. Special mention to Michelle who followed us from the first day to the last moment, helped us plan our activities and satisfy all of our requests. The fact that they have an inside small farm where most of the herbs, veggies, fruit, eggs and some of the meat come from. Loved it! I wish we didn't do the turtle rescue centre cause it did not look like a rescue centre as many people can interact with them all together and it was very stressful for them and us as well. There is a huge variety of activities that are more worthy of your money. All in all an amazing experience in heaven 🙏🏽

Immersed in an extraordinary experience, Tulia emerges as the quintessential haven just an hour's drive away from the airport. Nestled with a mesmerizing view of the ocean, Tulia stands as the epitome of a luxurious retreat. Its grounds exude magnificence, the cuisine delights the senses, and the staff embody professionalism, kindness, and unwavering hospitality. Our stay at Tulia was a harmonious mix of relaxation and joy, a memory we will never forget.. The exceptional planning of a birthday dinner remains embedded in our hearts. The staff set us up in a private outdoor setting under lights, which included a three-course meal, cake, and a staff presentation. The attention to detail surpassed our wildest dreams, leaving us feeling deeply grateful for such a thoughtful gesture. While our stay was nearly flawless, we encountered a minor setback with the air conditioning in our room, which unfortunately did not operate at its optimum capacity. Despite the continuous efforts to rectify the issue, the a/c never got cold and we required a fan for the duration of our stay. Additionally, there was a slight hiccup in the realm of guest service when one staff member fell short in displaying empathy and accommodation. However, upon bringing our concerns to the attention of another desk representative and management, action was taken without hesitation. Tulia shines as a gem in Zanzibar. For a true home away from home experience, make sure Tulia is your sanctuary in Zanzibar.
