SeVi Boutique Hotel

SeVi Boutique Hotel was simply incredible! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The location is truly idyllic – right by the sea, surrounded by palm trees and vibrant nature, like a peaceful little paradise. The whole place feels open, spacious, and full of charm. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, blending modern comfort with authentic local touches. Our room was spotless, cozy, and full of character – we instantly felt relaxed. And the food? Absolutely outstanding! From breakfast through lunch to dinner, every meal was a highlight – fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Easily some of the best food we’ve ever had on a trip. What made our stay truly unforgettable, though, were the people. The staff and locals were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help. Whether it was organizing an activity or just chatting with a smile – everyone made us feel so welcome. We felt completely comfortable and cared for, and if we ever return to Zanzibar, there’s no question – we’ll be coming straight back to SeVi Boutique Hotel.

The hotel is an absolute dream. You arrive and feel right at home. The staff was extremely friendly and always happy. Every single bungalow is beautifully situated under tropical trees and plants, where you can wake up every day to the sound of birds chirping. We especially loved the natural design. Everything is made of wood and natural materials, but it is totally clean. In the evening someone even comes by to eliminate mosquitoes and make the bed mosquito-proof. The pools are also wonderfully located with an oceanview. Another cool thing is that the hotel is not in the middle of the tourist area but rather among locals, so you get both - luxury but still get to know the life of the locals. For us definitely the best combination. So all in all really recommendable if you love peace and nature, but still want to do trips or other fun things.

This is our second trip to Zanzibar in the past two years. There was no question about where we would stay, as the Sevi is just perfect is every aspect. The location and chill atmosphere of the entire hotel sets you up for complete relaxation, from the moment you pass through the hotel reception. The entire hotel is set in an amazing palm tree forest directly on the ocean front, proving access to an immaculate powdery white sand beach. We had an ocean front villa which blew us a way, with an amazing combination of indoor and outdoor space, with ocean views and a private pool. We opted for the half board food tarrif and this did not disappoint. A very substantial good quality breakfast, with everything you could wish for. The same with our evening meals, with at least two choices of starter, mains and dessert. On two of the nights there is a Swahili tradition buffet and poolside BBQ. Each of these evenings were fantastic. There is also a great selection of wines available. Finally, the highlight of the hotel is the staff. Each and every single person we met at the Sevi just couldn't do enough for us. They are friendly, welcoming and genuinely want you to have the best time at the Sevi. I feel like we will be back there again to make it a hat-trick of 3 stays.

HI Traveller's. Photo are not realistic. The site is quite leave abandoned in many ways. The staff is doing its best though to give a good experience but super tough knowing the state of the pool, the rooms etc. Its ashamed because the spot is quite good and the beach front relatively calm compare to the south of the island. The owner should put money at least to clean, upgrade and put something good to protect the open space in the upstairs space. There is not even window there, just a so call net. In fact mosquito and insect can come anywhere. Last but not least the fooding. Its a disgrace. Really. We paid USD 80 !!!! for a Christmas eve diner. THIS is a total joke believe me. I write a joke not to say something else. Seriously. Its embarrassing. And for the breakfast. A joke. The only hotel where ther serve scramble, but when asking just a bit of cheese, you have to pay an extra, same for sausages of course. Conclusion we walk every night 300m south the coast to find a very nice hotel / restaurant. I do not mentioned the name here, but easy to find. 100% better and same price. Again this has nothing to do with the staff. But seriously, you have to stop renting this place and first make it proper.

Beautiful cottage rooms, grounds, restaurant, and a wonderful spa. It is Island perfect, waking to the sunrise each morning. Situated in a fishing village, we watched the boats leave every morning with locals to return mid day with their catch. The beach was beautiful although it required trudging through a ton of seaweed to walk out to the sand reef. The pools were perfect as well. The staff was very receptive and accommodating.

Was at Sevi Boutique Hotel for a Fam trip to see the hotel first hand, as a Tour operator company, we insist on selling what we have already seen and experienced. This is a nice small Boutique hotel with wonderful location, good service from the staff and nice confortable cozy rooms to unwind in Zanzibar. The beach is also good
