Nungwi and Kendwa for swimming at any hour, see Nungwi or Kendwa. Matemwe for the view of the Mnemba atoll. On the east coast a pool avoids the tide problem, see tides and swimming.
Whole villa or hotel?
For a group or family, a villa rental often costs less per person. For calm and service, compare with adults-only hotels.
