Property information

Mintaka Hotel is a true palm oasis on the Indian Ocean. 🌊🌴Here, everything is covered in sand – we walk barefoot, surrounded by palms and the unmistakable Zanzibar vibe 📍 Our hotel doesn’t have a single perfectly straight wall, but that’s exactly why we love Zanzibar – because here, everything is beautiful in its own unique way! This is a cozy, boutique hotel with 10 rooms. Each room has a private bathroom, air conditioning, ceiling fan, kettle with tea, bottled water, hairdryer and towels, all designed in authentic Zanzibari style – everything you need for a comfortable stay. 🩵 Guests can also enjoy our pool surrounded by palm trees, and right in front of us stretches a wide white-sand beach where the turquoise ocean sparkles in the sunlight. 🩵 Mintaka is surrounded by a lush garden with plenty of chill-out areas – from swinging beds and hammocks to quiet corners perfect for reading or meditation. It’s a place created for relaxation, where you can truly feel the magic of the island. ✨ For us, “all inclusive” means something more – care, personal attention and an atmosphere where you feel like visiting best friends at the other end of the world. 🌎

Neighbourhood information

Bwejuu is a charming, peaceful village on the east coast of Zanzibar, right next to the famous Paje. By tuk-tuk it’s only 5 minutes to the center of Paje, or about 20 minutes walking along the beach. 🩵 It’s the perfect combination – close enough to enjoy the vibrant life of Paje, yet far enough to experience true peace and the authentic island vibe. 🌴 Bwejuu is known for its wide sandy beach, tall palm trees and calm atmosphere – an ideal place to relax and feel the magic of Zanzibar.
