Safira Blu Luxury Resort & Villas offers some rooms that have a balcony, and every room is fitted with a kettle. All rooms will provide guests with a desk and a coffee machine. The staff are what make this hotel excellent. The E-Butler is a fantastic idea that just made everything so easy, and convenient. Nothing was too much trouble and it every member of the staff were so attentive, friendly and just good people. The villas have everything you need, are spacious and the most beautiful views. The food was really good too, and made even better by being able to order exactly what you wanted. We were impressed by the vast selection of items on the menu. Housekeeping were also excellent, twice a day visits and were spotlessly clean. We didn’t want for anything. Such a peaceful and relaxing stay. I’d recommend this resort.

The accommodation was very clean and tastefully decorated in a minimalist and soothing style. The location is ideal, just a few minutes from Jambiani Beach, yet still quiet in the evening.

Each accommodation at the 5-star hotel has sea views, and guests can enjoy access to a restaurant and to a bar.

Loved the private pool and the quaint nature of the entire place. I think it only had 8 units. So didn’t feel like cattle and felt exclusive. There was nothing too big, they accommodated and they made a plan. Loved it.
