Welcome

A Place Made for Slow Daysand Golden Evenings

Tunu Beach is a small, personally-run beachfront hotel in Kizimkazi — the southern tip of Zanzibar. We built it for people who want to feel the sand under their feet, swim in the pool before breakfast, and watch the sun disappear into the Indian Ocean from our restaurant terrace every evening.

No crowds. No rush. Just the ocean, good food, and a team that genuinely cares about your stay.

Dolphins swim within sight of the shore, sea turtles glide through crystal caves, and pristine sandbanks rise from turquoise waters just minutes away. It is the perfect base for exploring everything Zanzibar has to offer — without the crowds.
