Karafuu Hotel Beach Resort - Zanzibar, Pingwe-Bwejuu Beach

Located on the unspoilt Eastern Coast of Zanzibar, Karafuu Hotel Beach Resort is approximately 65 km far from Zanzibar town and airport. Karafuu is an International five-star hotel, and it was officially opened in December 1995. With its European management, it is considered one of the best hotel on the island. The hotel was built on seven hectares of pleasant tropical garden just in front of a long stretch of white sandy beach.

Imagine yourself between the ocean and turquoise bay. An oasis of peace shaded by coconut palms, frangipani and bougainvillea, surrounded by long deserted beaches dotted with coral cliffs. The reef not far from the coast, is populated by a multitude of multi-colored fish, it has suggestive natural pools, one of which can be reached by means of a causeway. Just as in a dream, but indeed this is your holiday at Karafuu Hotel.

Karafuu is a Swahili word and means Clove, epitomizing the very essence of Zanzibar. Just over an hour from the airport, Karafuu Hotel was built in harmony with the environment with local materials according to ancient Zanzibar traditions: roofs made of Makuti and walls of coral. Inside Karafuu, old traditions meet luxurious finishes and high quality materials such as marble from Carrara and Italian ceramics. Furnishings, in Zanzibar old style, are the product of the ancient skill of local handcraft. Karafuu is the result of a great attention to detail to reach a comfortable harmony between ancient and modern style. The large main buildings consist of reception hall, lobby, sea view bar and restaurants, boutiques with drugstore, conference room, theatre for evening entertainment shows, disco, TV room with digital satellite, games room and salon for massages and tattoos.
