Karafuu Beach Resort & Spa - A secluded 5-star beachfront property with three pools, a spa, and guided excursions

Karafuu Beach Resort & Spa features 135 spacious air-conditioned units with furnished verandas under African makuti thatch, decorated in traditional Zanzibari style. The property includes three restaurants—Le Grand Bleu for seafood, Bondeni for grill specialties, and Masai Village for Swahili and Maasai dinners—along with four bars. Guests can enjoy three swimming pools, tennis courts, a fitness center, and the Samawati Spa with private ocean-view treatment rooms. The resort is located on a secluded stretch of white sand, 65 km from Kisauni, with direct access to a natural swimming pool at low tide. Wimbi “Padi” Diving Center offers professional diving excursions to pristine coral reefs, while guided tours explore Stone Town, spice plantations, and Jozani Forest. A continental breakfast is available each morning at Karafuu Beach Resort & Spa.

Delicious Culinary Adventure

I thoroughly enjoyed the variety and quality of food at Karafuu Beach Resort. The main restaurant, Kijiji, offered a copious breakfast selection, including delicious pancakes. The themed dining nights, especially the Maasai buffet, were lovely, complete with local performances. Every meal was a delight!

Relaxing Spa Experience

The Osis Spa was a great addition to my stay. I indulged in several treatments and found the atmosphere serene and rejuvenating. The staff was incredibly skilled, and I left feeling refreshed and relaxed. This was the perfect way to unwind after a day in the sun.

Spacious and Comfortable Rooms

I stayed in a Junior suite that was vast and comfortable, with beautiful views of the ocean. The furnishings were modern, and the room was well-equipped with everything I needed. The balcony was the perfect spot for morning coffee, listening to the waves. It truly enhanced my overall experience.
