One of the best beach hideaways in the world according to Tatler and we totally agree. Quiet, away from it all but with fabulous rooms, great food and friendly unpretentious service. This is the best value beach accommodation and one of the most beautiful small lodges to be found anywhere. This should be on everyones itinerary and previous guests over the last years have consistently agreed with our judgement, wishing this style lodge was to be found on Zanzibar. You must go there, it is as simple as that!

Ras Kutani - The Detail
Located on the mainland coast Ras Kutani Beach Lodge has just twelve private and well spaced bandas along with three Upepo Suites. The standard rooms are bamboo and thatch Polynesian style bungalows with ensuite facilities, verandas and views out over the sea, gardens or lagoon extending through a fragrant hillside of tropical forest to the powder-soft beach below.
The Upepo Suites are set higher up into the hills, looking over the forest and out to the sea. They come complete with massive beds and private plunge pools
The open-plan bar and dining area are liberally furnished with colourful cushions to create a refreshing atmosphere in which to enjoy the extremely high-quality cooking and friendly, attentive service.
Overall Ras Kutani provides an escape from the outside world, a dreamy environment for visitors to relax in hammocks on their private bamboo banda veranda, in the bar or on the beach; it is without doubt one of Tanzania's finest beach hideaways. Cards, chess and backgammon are about as stressful as this place gets!
