Sultan Sands Island Resort & Spa

Where do I start? We came to Sultan Sands in February 2026 and my wife said it was her best ever long haul holiday. I agreed with her too so we came back (we rarely go back to the same destination). Well it was even better this time. It’s like a small boutique hotel with fabulous food, amazing beach and outstanding staff. Several staff members remembered us from the last time. So many people to highlight… Alli , Baracka, Sophia, Rose, Mohammed, Bilali, Ramadan Ochieng and last but but by no means least the wonderful Juma. It’s such a lovely place to be and you feel like you are in your own private island. The rooms are great, the view of the Indian Ocean is stunning and the breeze is amazing. I could not praise it highly enough. We have other plans in 2027 but will be back to Sultan Sands in February 2028 to what is now referred to as our spiritual home. Thanks everyone x

Excellent place, wonderful beach, excellent buffet, very professional staff and at your disposal. Peaceful atmosphere and adapted entertainment

We spent a fantastic week at Sultan Sands Island with our family and absolutely loved our stay. Everything was perfect! The food was delicious, with plenty of choice every day. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the entire resort was beautifully maintained. We especially loved the gorgeous tropical gardens and the peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. It was the perfect place to switch off and enjoy a quiet family holiday. The staff were wonderful – always friendly, welcoming, and ready to help. A very special thank you to Priscila, the manager, who was absolutely amazing! Her kindness, professionalism, and warm approach made our stay even more special. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend Sultan Sands Island to anyone looking for a beautiful, peaceful and relaxing holiday. Thank you to the whole team for an unforgettable week. We would love to come back! ❤️ SYLWIA & fAMILY

We stayed at Sultan Sands for the second time, and once again, we had an absolutely wonderful experience. The food was delicious, our room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Everyone made us feel at home and went above and beyond to make our holiday truly special. And the beach… simply breathtaking! 🌴 For us, it is the most beautiful beach in Kiwengwa — with its white sand, turquoise water, and peaceful atmosphere, it truly feels like paradise. We’re leaving with the most wonderful memories and already know that we’ll be back for our third stay! ❤️ A huge thank you to the entire Sultan Sands team for making our holiday so unforgettable. We can’t wait to come back! 🌊☀️ Room N322🫶🏻

The best resort in Zanzibar by far. I have visited Zanzibar many times, and this is the first resort that has the perfect combination of excellent service, food and amenities. Well maintained, attentive staff and excellent food of all varieties. Absolute paradise.
