Overview
Ras Nungwi Beach Hotel is by far the best place to stay in the Nungwi area. The hotel was one of the first to be established on , so the owners managed to secure one of the prime sites on the island, away from the main village. The hotel, built with natural materials such as palm thatch and fossilized coral limestone, blends harmoniously into the landscape. The white, sandy beach is idyllic and it’s long enough to spread out and find your own spot to sunbathe. It is also just about the only resort along the eastern side of the Nungwi peninsula, which means you have the luxury of quiet beaches. This hotel is one of the best choices for big game fishers, divers, kitesurfers and honeymooners.

Ras Nungwi Beach Hotel – Amani Tours View
This is an excellent choice to conclude your safari, especially if you want something with all the facilities that is between a small, intimate guest lodge and a huge beach club. True, the northern part of the island does lack the proliferation of palm trees you'll find elsewhere and the interior is dry and scrubby, but the beach is superb. Besides the awesome views and location, we found everything to be neat, clean and well maintained. We were impressed with the friendly and efficient staff. If fishing is your thing the hotel is well situated for you to try your luck in the deep-sea fishing grounds between Zanzibar and . Fishing boats have all the latest technology. You can fish for a variety of marlin, tuna and sailfish. Tag-and-release is usually encouraged, unless it’s your first or a record catch.
