Welcome to Moya

A boutique sanctuary on Zanzibar's east coast

Tucked into a quiet garden of swaying palms in Marumbi, Uroa, Moya Beach Hotel blends authentic Zanzibari design with effortless modern comfort. Twelve intimate rooms open onto a turquoise lagoon, a free-form pool and a private stretch of white sand reserved just for our guests.

Recently renovated from the ground up, every detail — hand-woven baskets, reclaimed hardwood, original Swahili artwork — was chosen to tell the story of this island, while StarLink Wi-Fi, air conditioning and backup power quietly take care of the rest.

"Incredibly positive, sympathetic and hospitable staff. The food was exceptional and we woke up to the sunrise right from our bed — it felt like family, not a hotel."
