Hakuna Majiwe Beach Lodge Zanzibar

A Peaceful Beachside Escape

Hakuna Majiwe Beach Lodge is a relaxed beachfront retreat where time slows and the rhythm of the ocean sets the pace. Built with natural materials and soft coastal tones, the lodge embraces a barefoot luxury philosophy—simple, stylish, and deeply connected to its surroundings. With powder-white sands, swaying palms, and warm Swahili hospitality, Hakuna Majiwe offers an easygoing island escape ideal for rest and renewal.

Location

The lodge is set on the northeast coast of Zanzibar, along a quiet stretch of beach known for its soft sand and turquoise waters. Surrounded by palm trees and coral gardens, the area offers a tranquil environment while remaining within reach of village life, snorkeling spots, and island excursions. Tidal changes shape the shoreline beautifully throughout the day, creating ever-changing seascapes.

Seasonality

Zanzibar is a year-round beach destination, and Hakuna Majiwe Beach Lodge offers a different charm with each season. The dry seasons (June–October and December–February) bring sunny skies, gentle breezes, and ideal conditions for swimming and beach relaxation.

The green seasons (March–May and November) transform the surroundings into lush coastal scenery with fewer visitors and a quieter atmosphere—perfect for travellers seeking serenity and intimacy.
