From reception to check-out, thie staff at this resort did everything to cater to our wishes. The food, accommodation, service and side trips were all memorable and completely to our liking. Pathways of beach sand connect all the facilities, so shoes are not needed nor recommended once you arrive. The room is spacious with an enormous bed, and with clean... More

We were thankfully recommended this fabulous place as a pre safari unwind on our honeymoon. It was so the right thing to do. This is the epitome of barefoot luxury. It had no pretensions at all, but just offered total relaxation, beautiful food, cheerful staff, and simple effortless authentic luxury. We had one of the suites, with an incredible view... More

We stayed in one of the suites. The suite was large with 2 covered verandas at either end of the suite plus plunge pool and sunbathing terrace. You can see the sea while lying on the bed. The food is outstanding, and they catered for my wife’s dairy products allergy with flying colours. The service is excellent I would recommend... More

Just 30km south of Tanzania on a beautiful beach lies Ras Kutani. It is paradise. We enjoyed suite 1. The climb to the room was offset by the facilities you enjoyed on arrival. A huge room, beautifully decorated, an 8 foot bed ! ,and outside a large terrace with adjoining small private pool. If you are looking for seclusion and... More

We stayed at Ras Kutani 2 nights after our Selous Safari and our experience was marvellous. We had a charter flight from Dar es Salaam to Ras Kutani (13 minutes) then 3 minutes by car to the Lagoon and some minutes boating to the lodge. Everything was perfect, the service, the food, the cottage, the beach, the ocean etc. In... More

Just returned from a 5 night stay at Ras Kutani. This is a beautiful location and Marc and his team made our stay so special. Our fabulous suite had a beautiful view from the hillside over looking the ocean. The beach is stunning and we were lucky enough to be able to watch a turtle nest hatching. Overseen by Sea... More

This is quite simply one of the best hotels, if not the best, in Tanzania. This is our fifth stay this year (we're lucky and live in Dar), this time as a family and before generally as a couple or with friends. The consistent excellent all-round service delivery sets this place apart. Location, food, staff, rooms and service are of... More

It's all the rave reviews and better. Beautiful. Great service. Excellent food. Beautiful rooms and setting. Lizards, snakes and monkeys add to the African flavour. The perfect place to relax and to detox/detech from our hurried lives. Barefoot paradise. More
