Tulia Zanzibar

Unforgettable holiday and fantastic food! We had an absolutely wonderful time at Tulia Zanzibar. A special shout-out goes to the food, which was simply outstanding – every meal was a true culinary delight! Don't be afraid of the low tide here! Walking along the beach and the ocean floor during low tide is a beautiful experience in itself, and the sea always comes back before you know it. We highly recommend Tulia to everyone!

A beautiful, intimate series of bungalows with fabulous views of the Indian Ocean and terrific dining. The team working there were just amazing, so kind and helpful. Rooms were generous and in excellent condition.

If I have to summarise our experience in one word then it would be "Outstanding". From the moment we arrived till we left, we were offered a very personalised yet very private kind of attention. We concluded our Tanzania trip at Zanzibar. After 5 days of safari which was exhausting, Tulia was a breath of fresh air. The location is right on the beach with private access. Its a small hotel in middle of a vast green space. We stayed in the Luxury oceanfront villa which has views of expansive ocean and offers absolute privacy. This room is huge with a private deck and sitting area overlooking the ocean. The cleanliness is on the mark. They offer housekeeping services twice a day. The food is amazing with a new curated menu everyday. We are vegetarian and our menu used to be curated separately and both the chefs used to make sure in person that our dietary needs are very well taken care of. The surprise platter of snacks sent to me by the chef in the room was such a lovely gesture. Front office manager Mr. Andre took great care of us making our stay immensely pleasurable. The entire staff is dedicated to your services making your stay as enjoyable as possible. Every evening we used to have great fun at the bar. The bartenders are very friendly. All our dietary needs and demands were met, usual or unusual. The Tulia family is full of warmth and friendliness. They make you feel very welcome. You completely feel at home. The hotel is very well designed. I am in awe of their sustainability practices. They produce 85% of their fresh produce, have their own chicken and duck farm, in-house supply of water from well and minimum use of plastic. Joseph from the restaurant team took great care of us in making our meal very special and memorable The dinner time is like a celebration. They arrange some sort of entertainment every evening which is like very amazing and enjoyable. I will be grateful to Tulia family for such a memorable stay and wonderful experience. I highly recommend Tulia!!!

Our stay at Tulia Zanzibar Unique Beach Resort was the perfect way to unwind and conclude a truly special family trip. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was serene, private, and effortlessly luxurious. The resort itself is beautifully designed, with lush tropical surroundings and direct access to a pristine beach. Every space feels thoughtfully curated, offering both comfort and a sense of exclusivity. It’s the kind of place where you can completely relax while still enjoying a high level of personalized service. What truly made our stay exceptional, however, was the outstanding team. Michelle, the manager, leads with warmth and professionalism, ensuring that every guest feels welcomed and well cared for. Her presence is felt in the smooth, attentive service throughout the resort. The dining experience was a highlight of our stay. The Le Petit Chef dinner was truly out of this world—creative, immersive, and unlike anything we’ve experienced before. Head Chef Mgeni Mzima was outstanding and catered to our every request, going above and beyond to personalize meals for our group. This level of care made every dining experience feel special. A special thank you to the restaurant team—Zamda, Ezra, Simon, Lamadhan, Haluna, Amiliana, Lucas, Enoch, Joseph Vinton, and Joseph—who consistently delivered attentive and friendly service. Every meal felt relaxed yet refined, with great attention to detail. The broader team, including Emanuel, Adhil, Abdullah, and Steven, ensured everything ran seamlessly across the property. Their professionalism and willingness to assist with anything we needed made a real difference. At the bar, Guston and Sriman created a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere, crafting excellent drinks and adding to the overall experience with their friendly personalities. We would also like to recognize our driver, Abu Bhakar, who took excellent care of us throughout our time in Zanzibar. He was reliable, professional, and always made our transfers smooth and stress-free, which added greatly to the overall experience. Tulia Zanzibar offers a wonderful balance of tranquility, personalized service, and unique experiences. It was the ideal setting to relax, reflect, and celebrate time with family. We left feeling refreshed, well cared for, and grateful for the many memorable moments created by such a dedicated team.

If I could describe our stay at Tulia Zanzibar in one sentence, it would be: the vibes were absolutely unmatched! 🤍🌴 We had the pleasure of spending one night at Tulia before completing a full site inspection the following morning, and from the moment we arrived until checkout, we were genuinely impressed. We stayed on the all-inclusive package, and let me just say… the food and drinks kept coming! 🍹 The cocktails were some of the best we’ve had in Zanzibar, and the breakfast? Easily a 100000000/10. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and even more special knowing that many of the ingredients come straight from Tulia’s own farm. Now let’s talk about the customer service because WOW. Every single staff member made us feel at home, but a very special thank you to Enock, Zamda, Ezra, Lucas, and the entire Tulia family. You all had us laughing nonstop and made our stay so memorable. Your energy, kindness, and genuine hospitality are exactly what make Tulia so special. One of our favorite surprises was that every guest receives a complimentary massage, and you can choose any massage from the spa menu. Even children receive their own complimentary massage, so if you’re traveling with little ones… let’s just say those extra massages might find their way to mom or dad! 😂 We also took advantage of the complimentary kayaking, spent plenty of time enjoying the gorgeous swim-up pool bar (my personal favorite!), and loved that the resort has multiple pools—including one with a waterslide that’s perfect for families. Dinner was an experience on its own, featuring a beautiful live acrobatic performance that made the evening even more special. To top it all off, Tulia welcomed us with a complimentary bottle of wine and the sweetest handwritten note. Those thoughtful touches never go unnoticed. While Tulia is absolutely family-friendly, I honestly think Gen Z travelers would fall in love with this resort. The music, the atmosphere, the energy, the cocktails, and the overall vibe make it feel fun, lively, and luxurious all at the same time. As founders of Butiama & Beyond, we don’t recommend properties lightly. We personally visit every resort before partnering with them, and Tulia has absolutely earned our confidence. We will without hesitation be bringing our clients here because we know they’ll have an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Tulia, for making us feel so welcome. We can’t wait to return!
