Tucked between the charming villages of Jambiani and Makunduchi, Reef & Beach Resort is the perfect spot for an unforgettable getaway. With over 600 metres of seafront, you’ll find everything you need to relax and recharge: multiple swimming pools, poolside bars… The 300-metre sun terrace, complete with cosy loungers, is the ideal place to soak up the sun and enjoy the stunning sea views.
Take a stroll across our wooden and get yourself into a lush mangrove forest, leading to one of the most beautiful stretches of beach on the island.
Our accommodations are designed to suit every traveller. Whether you prefer the charm of thatched-roof bungalows, the spacious comfort of suites with views of the ocean, or the peaceful surroundings of the gardens, there’s a perfect place for you. For something extra special, choose one of our swim-up rooms, where you can step straight from your patio into the pool.
To make your stay even more enjoyable, we offer a tranquil spa, a fully equipped gym, and a range of services to take care of all your needs. Enjoy local and international dishes at Makuti Restaurant, oceanfront dining at Peponi, or the fusion of international and Indian cuisine at Bahari.
