We stayed here last year for 5 nights after two long tiring safaris. It was magical and we loved it. Mark the manager was superb and his assistant Lana was also super. Both very engaging we thought. They set up dinner on the beach for us one night that was magical and then another evening we had dinner on the... More

I was at Ras Kutani for a Yoga retreat and I cannot tell you how relaxing it was. The service was impeccable and the food was phenomenal! I felt as though I was at home yet so far away from reality (the busy hustle and bustle of work and routine). The ocean breeze and sounds of nature just blew me... More

We had four nights here after a seven night safari. It was perfect, amazing setting, fabulous food and really friendly and helpful staff. We were woken gently each morning by our tea and biscuits being put on the table on our veranda, a lovely start to the day sitting there overlooking the lagoon and watching the kingfishers and monkeys. The... More

Stayed here for only 1 night during a weekend break from work in Dar es Salaam but the experience was lovely. The staff were great and very accomodating and allowed us to check out later that was required! The beach was also very nice and clean - although they were a few jelly fish washed up on the shore!

From reception to check-out, thie staff at this resort did everything to cater to our wishes. The food, accommodation, service and side trips were all memorable and completely to our liking. Pathways of beach sand connect all the facilities, so shoes are not needed nor recommended once you arrive. The room is spacious with an enormous bed, and with clean... More

We were thankfully recommended this fabulous place as a pre safari unwind on our honeymoon. It was so the right thing to do. This is the epitome of barefoot luxury. It had no pretensions at all, but just offered total relaxation, beautiful food, cheerful staff, and simple effortless authentic luxury. We had one of the suites, with an incredible view... More

We stayed in one of the suites. The suite was large with 2 covered verandas at either end of the suite plus plunge pool and sunbathing terrace. You can see the sea while lying on the bed. The food is outstanding, and they catered for my wife’s dairy products allergy with flying colours. The service is excellent I would recommend... More

Just 30km south of Tanzania on a beautiful beach lies Ras Kutani. It is paradise. We enjoyed suite 1. The climb to the room was offset by the facilities you enjoyed on arrival. A huge room, beautifully decorated, an 8 foot bed ! ,and outside a large terrace with adjoining small private pool. If you are looking for seclusion and... More
