I received the trip to Bawe Island as a birthday surprise from my husband. What can I say... simply breathtaking – this little island near Zanzibar is truly a piece of heaven on earth. Roberto and his team leave nothing to be desired. Wonderful beach and cliffs, our sunset villa was a dream – very tidy and clean, with so much love for detail. Gourmet cuisine: international dishes and fantastic Italian food! By the way, they have the world’s best tiramisu ♡ So much kindness from the staff – always attentive, helpful, and immediately there when needed. Each villa has its own butler, the bar team fulfills every cocktail wish, and the service staff is just lovely, making sure nothing is missing. The spa team caters to individual needs and guarantees pure relaxation. Every evening there was music or entertainment – amazing artists and acrobats. It’s something you simply have to experience. Bawe Island – you arrive as a guest and leave as family! Thank you to Roberto and his entire team – we will never forget this vacation!

By far the best hotel we have stayed at. We had the most incredible experience , you get your own butler who is at your service with anything you require. Ask for Beno, he was great! The place makes you feel like you’re in the Maldives with the incredibly styled and spacious Villas. If you’re looking for a quiet destination with beautiful surroundings and great service, this is the place for you. The staff are happy and go above and beyond. The only minor downside is that everything on the island is very expensive including excursions off/around the island, but it is expected in such a beautiful private island.

I had an incredible experience at this hotel — from the breathtaking views to the exceptional service, everything exceeded expectations. The staff were genuinely helpful and went above and beyond to accommodate every request, no matter how challenging. A special thank you to Salome, who truly made our stay unforgettable. Her attention to detail, dedication, and personalized care ensured everything was tailored perfectly to our needs. She never let us down and was simply outstanding. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a memorable and seamless stay.
