the Hotel is really tiny! (5 rooms total) Which is nice, personnel knows you, knows what you like and you know them as well. Short way to breakfast, to the pool or reception. Staff is extremely friendly, helpful and supporting. If you need something, there is always somebody to help.

Although the photos suggest, the Hotel is not directly on the beach but maybe 50 meters away (cross a tiny gravel road, pass by or through a neighboring Hotel). In our case we liked that a lot because the strong wind (coming from the sea) only hit the beach and first row of Hotels, while we were protected and could relax at the pool, watching the palm trees around waving in the storm.

What can we say, it was above our expectations and we didnt expect more than just to have a great time. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by wonderful staff, Deogratius, Muddy and Mwana! Laura, you should be very proud of them! We were very lucky to have an entire resort to ourselves due to big group cancellation very last minute and we felt like the queen and king for the next 3 days! Please, do not hesitate to stay at Arya! You will not be disappointed at all. Location, beautiful staff, amazing breakfast which was just perfect for our honeymoon, we were very teary to leave this cosy paradise! Thank you from all our hearts for looking after us, for beautiful surprise and presents and flowers and for everything else ❤️❤️❤️ We will see you soon. Deimante and Khosru

The staff were amazing, they went out of their way to make our stay full of surprises, full of Love, with impeccable service and exceptional personal and bespoke treatment. The rooms are beautiful and very comfortable and spacious. The lunch & breakfasts were the best food we had in Kiwenga. Marie was amazing at making sure we had all we needed. Laura was always available via WhatsApp to ensure we had 5star treatment. The gardener and room cleaner were such a delight, creating beautiful displays for us! Nothing was too much hassle for anyone. We had an unforgettable stay and are so grateful for all the attention to detail. The pool is perfect for kids and to dip into during hot afternoons. The beach is beautiful and super close!

Nothing all great.

Our stay at Arya Boutique Resort has been an absolutely amazing experience! This was a trip to celebrate our honeymoon and we were certainly treated like royalty (which I saw so many others had stated in their reviews and yet my expectations were still exceeded!). The staff were ever so polite and genuinely willing to assist when we needed something. The cherry on top was Laura's kindness, generosity and transparency of her personality. We felt so comfortable and were incredibly spoiled by Laura and the staff. This truly was a hearty experience. Arya Boutique Resort is a very special place indeed. I would highly recommend it.

We wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional experience we had during our stay in Arya. Before our arrival the communication with Laura was amazing, she answered always fast all my questions willing to help to make our stay perfect. From the moment we arrived in Zanzibar, the level of communication and warmth extended by Christian, Laura from the distance (she wasn’t at the moment there) and the entire team was truly outstanding. The genuine hospitality and kindness we received made our stay memorable. It's evident that you all take great pride in ensuring your guests feel welcomed and valued :)) Everything in Arya is just perfect! Starting from the breakfast options that were not only diverse but also incredibly delicious. The dishes were also a beautiful visual delight with the beautiful flowers ;) It was for sure a fantastic way to start each day of our stay. And of course a big compliment to the comfort of the hotel. The attention to detail in the rooms, the soothing ambiance, and the overall cleanliness truly made us feel at home. We enjoyed the pool in the evening because it was still sunny to enjoy a swim. It was during our stay my boyfriend’s birthday and Laura helped me to prepare him a beautiful surprise for his day. We finished the day having an amazing dinner at the pool! The amazing combination of floral decorations and delicious food (special compliment to the tiramisu) created a a truly magical and memorable evening!!! We will always remember it! Thank you for creating such a wonderful haven for travelers like ourself. We will undoubtedly be returning, and we highly recommend your establishment to anyone seeking a remarkable hotel experience.

Everything was perfect!!!!

Beautiful small hotel with lovely garden and pool accessed directly from our two bedroom thatched cottage. The whole place has been really well conceived and offers a peaceful oasis away from the hustle and bustle. Our kids loved the walk in pool. Friendly, helpful staff and owner Laura who arranged a really special surprise and gifts for my wife’s big birthday. Tasty food for dinner and breakfast with the kitchen happy to accommodate our kids requests. The massages from the spa were excellent! We had a really memorable stay and would recommend. We had read about the beaches on the east coast being really tidal and difficult to swim in due to the sea urchins but didn’t find that to be an issue here. There were a number of shops and restaurants along the beach front.

Very little not to like. Minor point but our cottage might have benefitted from a comfy chair. Worth also noting that it is not beach front, instead set back behind another small hotel/bar property and small lane - the booking.com filters has it listed as ‘beachfront’. Beach access is very easy and they have an arrangement with the neighbouring property to use their sun loungers.

Laura and the staff are extremely friendly, we’ve been pampered soo much during our stay. Cozy little resort full of flowers and plants, quiet place. We would like to thank Laura for taking care of us even tho she wasn’t there during our stay. The food is yummy, it’s freshly prepared every day. Clean villas with hot and cold water. 10/10

Nothing to do with the resort, there’s too many beach boys that are trying to sell you gods, it’s kinda annoying when you try to walk on the beach… Tho if you say no they’ll stop it which is nice.

A beautiful little boutique resort just off the beautiful beach of Kiwengwa. It was very peaceful, clean and had stylish interiors. The pool area was beautiful. All the staff were so friendly and helpful, especially the owner Laura and Sheha. They decorated our room so beautifully for our honeymoon arrival, and also gave us severally little beautiful gifts. So kind and thoughtful.

In a couple of months Arya will have even more to offer once the restaurant is in full flow, we just wished we could have enjoyed this whilst there. However there are plenty of other options on the beach. The Maasai men and women on the beach were annoying constantly asking if we wanted to buy things, but that was at no fault to the hotel.

The Hotel is small and cosy but has all the amenities one needs. For the beach you just have to step outside the hotel and make a few steps. The breakfast is served in building nearby on a upstairs terrace with a beautiful view. On the beach you can find several restaurants (that were all very helpful to make us vegetarian dishes). The Hotel staff was absolutley marvelous, always cheerful, happy and very friendy. We had an amazing time. Thank you!

The only downpour is that when lying on the beach there are always Masaii people walking by and wanting to talk to you or bring you into their shops.

Lovely boutique hotel steps away from the beach. Quite, clean with great breakfast. Staff were kind and helpful throughout. Laura arranged some lovely surprises for our honeymoon and was really responsive to all questions we had. We highly recommend it.

Could consider improving the coffee selection - non instant coffee was payable. Excursion was disappointing and not value for money.
