The Dolphin View Beach Resort is located on the island of Zanzibar an hour from the airport. It is near the village of Kizimkazi Mkunguni on the southern tip of the island and it is a fairly new resort. It was designed with the international traveller in mind and guests who have stayed here are already giving the resort great reviews. The resort offers guests an authentic Zanzibari atmosphere without skimping on modern comforts. The lodge and other public buildings are laid out in a pentagram construction, making them easy to navigate and very inviting.
Dolphin View offers guests not only a beautiful resort to stay at but also many amenities guests may not expect to find at a resort on Zanzibar. Even though it is considered a boutique hotel it offers all of its visitors the amenities one would find at a large hotel chain. Within the lodge itself guests can find a business center, game area, diving desk, conference room, lounge and bar and boutique. And that is all without mentioning the infinity swimming pool that faces the ocean. When guests arrive, they are presented with a welcome drink and a personal escort to their villa.
The Dolphin View Beach Resort offers guests 30 villas that are equipped with authentic Zanzibari furniture and decorations. Each of the villas is equipped with three bed rooms that accommodate up to six people. All of them come with wireless internet, safe, satellite color flat screen television, CD player, DVD player, en-suite bathroom with bathtub, kitchen, two sitting rooms, storage area, veranda on both floors, sea views, and garden views. The beach front villas include a private plunge pool. The villas are constructed with white walls, Makuti roofs and terracotta flooring.
Guests to the Dolphin View will enjoy the wide range of menu options at their different restaurants. The Barracuda serves a buffet breakfast and dinner as well as ala carte lunches and dinners. The dinner buffets feature a different theme every night. The Jetty Restaurant serves light lunches and Zanzibar dishes in addition to an arranged champagne breakfast. Fresh catch of the day is served at the Jetty. Finally, the Dolphin View Paradise restaurant offers guests the opportunity to have their meals prepared for them by a staff chef in their villa.
In addition to the restaurants at the resort there are also two bars. The Reef Bar is located at the pool and main lodge area, offering guests cocktails and other refreshments. The Legends Bar is located near the Jetty restaurant and serves alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
The location of the resort is somewhat remote but that does not mean guests still cannot enjoy everything the island of Zanzibar has to offer. Day trips around the island can be arranged. There are many beaches with lagoons and coral reefs to explore as well as scuba diving in some of the best unexplored waters in the world. The waters are filled with dolphins and guests can take dolphin spotting tours where they may even be able to swim with them. Some of the historic sites include Stone Town, Jozani Forest, Mbweni Ruins, Mtonil Ruins, Kidichi Persian Baths and the Mruhubi Ruins. Guests will also enjoy visiting the local village and or walk around the peninsula on the ‘Sunset Walk’ paved trail. The Spice Tour is also highly recommended, showcasing the islands most famous trade.
In addition to tours, water sports and historical sites, guests to the Dolphin View Beach Resort can relax by the swimming pool or in their private plunge pool, enjoy the tropical scenery, workout in the fully equipped fitness center or enjoy a relaxing afternoon in the spa.
