Location & Bwejuu Beach

Bwejuu Beach – quiet, unspoilt, authentic

Bwejuu Beach is one of Zanzibar’s quieter beaches. Its long stretch of light-colored sand invites leisurely walks and conveys a strong sense of openness and natural authenticity.

Typical of Zanzibar’s east coast are the tides, which transform the beach and the ocean throughout the day. At high tide, the sea reaches all the way to the shore—right up to the villa. At low tide, vast expanses of sand and reef landscapes are revealed. The water here is calm and natural; crystal-clear lagoon beaches are mainly found in the north of the island.

It is precisely this ever-changing rhythm that gives the region its distinctive and special character.

Beachfront Restaurants Nearby

One of the location’s special highlights:

Along the beach to the left and right of the villa, you’ll find several beachfront restaurants and bars belonging to hotels and boutique accommodations.

These restaurants are:

• easily accessible on foot directly along the beach

• open to external guests

• a mix of simple local fisherman’s restaurants, laid-back beach bars, and stylish hotel restaurants

This makes it effortless to spend the evening enjoying a drink or a meal right by the ocean.

Paje – lively, trendy, close by
