Hiliki House Zanzibar

Hiliki House is an exceptional small independent guesthouse in Stone Town’s Shangani district, consistently praised for some of the finest hospitality available at any price point in Zanzibar. The property is intimate and personally managed, with just a handful of rooms ensuring that every guest receives individual attention and care from the team. Rooms are thoughtfully furnished with a blend of contemporary comfort and traditional Zanzibari design elements, featuring air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and private bathrooms. A complimentary full breakfast using local ingredients — fresh tropical fruit, Zanzibar spiced coffee, coconut bread, and freshly prepared egg dishes — is included in the room rate and served in the garden. The lush courtyard garden provides a private outdoor retreat rare for Stone Town’s densely built historic center. The hotel is a short walk from the Freddie Mercury Museum, Nakupenda Beach access, Forodhani Gardens, and the main ferry terminal. The team is particularly experienced at assisting guests with island logistics — arranging snorkeling trips, sunset dhow cruises, and onward connections to Nungwi, Kendwa, or Paje. Guest reviews on multiple platforms consistently give Hiliki House near-perfect scores for service quality and value.
