Makunduchi is one of the last truly authentic coastal villages on Zanzibar’s East Coast. Far away from mass tourism, beach clubs and noisy nightlife, this area has preserved its original island lifestyle, wide open beaches and natural silence. Life here follows the rhythm of the ocean, not the rhythm of crowds.
For guests of Subanda Boutique Hotel, Makunduchi offers something rare: space, calm, authenticity and privacy — combined with easy access to Zanzibar’s lively hotspots.
Makunduchi is not a resort town — and that is exactly its beauty.
While Makunduchi is quiet and untouched, you are still close to everything:
You can enjoy the energy of these places during the day — and return to total peace and silence at night.
Private transfers, taxis and rental scooters are easily available.
If you are looking for party tourism, Makunduchi is not the right place.
If you are looking for authentic peace, it is perfect.
Subanda Boutique Hotel was created because of Makunduchi — not in spite of it. The calm, the ocean breeze, the simplicity of life and the untouched beaches define the spirit of our hotel.
Here you don’t escape the world.
You slow down enough to truly feel it again.
