The Suite at Z2 is quite spacious.
We didn’t like the shower, it’s too high for me (160+ cm asian guys) but I think it’s much higher than standard one, the water’s not really weak but come down to nowhere, you really need double of time to finish the bath and it’s kind of frustrating if you want to wash your long hair.
The restaurants are quite good.

Great decor! Brand new wing is lovely but note is separate to the main hotel. Excellent breakfast. Very honest staff.
The hotel tours team v high std and good value for Dhow and snorklong trips. Spa appraently good but disaapintingly hard to book.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the best beach in Zanzibar. If possible, we would recommend separating the swimming area from the boats for added safety and comfort.

10/10 OMG literally the best resort I have ever visited! Everything is top tier, the level of customer service and attention to detail is unreal. Worth every penny! I will surely be back and recommend to anyone visiting Zanzibar :)

The two standouts of the Z Hotel were the friendly and gracious staff (shout out to Emiliana and Latifa), and the superb seafood restaurant Sexy Fish. I ate there twice and on both occasions the recommendations were spot on. The free breakfast buffet was also excellent.
Very cool interior design, with liberal use of tropical themed wallpaper mixed with African fabrics in common areas and guest rooms. Very nice infinity pool overlooking the beach. There are lounge chairs by the pool and on the
beach for hotel guests.
The beach itself is the classic powdered sugar sand and warm aquamarine water, though at times felt a bit congested because of the restaurant projecting out from the hotel on one side of the beach, the small boats anchored in the water, and the traffic of jet skis and horse rides in the water. It's a nice stroll along the beach, but be prepared to deal with locals hawking souvenirs and tours. I found them friendly and not overly aggressive.
If you're looking to buy souvenirs, the hotel is walking distance to a bunch of shops. There are also other restaurants within walking distance if you want to sample food other than what the hotel offers.

A Perfect Solo Getaway
I recently stayed at The Z Hotel Zanzibar as a solo female traveler, and I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely welcomed and at ease. The staff were incredibly polite, attentive, and genuinely warm, making my stay feel personal.
The food and drinks were delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Whether it was a leisurely breakfast overlooking the ocean or a cocktail at the rooftop bar at sunset, every meal felt like an experience in itself. The variety and quality were impressive, with something to suit every craving.
The facilities were just as great. The pool area was pristine and perfect for unwinding, while the semi-private beach was just steps away, offering stunning turquoise waters and soft white sand. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, with a boutique feel that balances luxury with laid-back island vibes.
Most importantly, I felt completely safe and secure throughout my stay. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed yet well-managed. As a solo traveler, this made all the difference—I could fully enjoy my time without any worries.
Whether you're traveling alone, as a couple, or with friends, The Z Hotel is an absolute gem. I left feeling refreshed, grateful, and I am very much looking forward to visiting again.

Z Hotel is a spectacular tropical Oasis in Zanzibar! The staff, especially Julia was fabulous, the grounds and decor were beautiful and the food was delicious! I would stay here everytime I would be lucky enough to visit Zanzibar and I will tell everyone I know not to look any further than Z Hotel.

We stayed for three nights following our African Safari. We loved the property and would like to have stayed longer. The staff were delightful, the food was very good and our room with a sea views was on the small side but very comfortable with a good sized deck for all our lounging. We saw a number of properties along the beach and nothing compared to this lovely boutique style property.
