Situated in Nungwi, within 500 metres of Supermarket and less than 1 km of East Africa Diving, MITI Beach Bungalows features accommodation with a garden and free WiFi throughout the property as well as free private parking for guests who drive.

At the guest house, rooms include a wardrobe. Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at MITI Beach Bungalows also boast a garden view.

We enjoyed our stay in MITI bungalows very much. On arrival we received a Welcome Drink (fresh mango juice). The rooms are very nice and the owner as well as the staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was exceptional and the best on our whole Sansibar journey (we have stayed in 5 different hotels). It is prepared very freshly and tasty (different fruits, very nice toasted bread and choice between omlette, scrambled eggs, fried egg and pankakes. You also get a glas of fresh juice as well as coffee and tee. The rooms are getting renovated at the moment (June 2022). The renovated rooms are amazing. It is also planned to build a pool (not really necessary in my opinion, I prefer the garden but that is just my preference). The property is guarded. We felt safe at any time. The beach is nearby, only 2 to 3 minutes walking distance. Every other night it was quite loud outside because of the Discothek Coccobello. The owner of Miti said that this Disco will move to another location soon so therefore the noisy nights will be gone. Special greetings to the little ginger kitten. Such a lovely cat <3

    Nadya is great host who gave some really awesome recommendations (from restaurants to going to a secret sand bank), and all of them were top rated. MaNa is a super quiet place, just 2 mins walk from the beach, and about 15 mins walk (on the beach) from the busy part of Nungwi beach. Great food options everywhere nearby. And the place is super clean, lots of care gone into it.

    charming, quiet villa on the east side of Nungwi. with a large garden and a space with a pool table. Very nice for those who want seek a location in Nungwi and still very close to the beach. I rented the room with private bathroom which is very spacious as well as the bathroom. The breakfast is local and includes fruits, chapati, eggs, coffee and tea. Mike the host is very accommodating. But the most interesting point remains the unbeatable value for money on Nungwi.

    I enjoyed my stay very much ❤️ the accomodation is just in perfect location! It is in the middle of Nungwi, so you can go more on west to enjoy more turistic but beautiful beaches, or more on east for more calm, local beach experience. Or you can just swim on the beach which is like 3 minutes from guest house 🙂 It is in very calm area, no noise from Nungwi parties 🙏 and Kosta is just great host! Easy to talk and he cares for his guests very much! Hakuna matata! 🙂 During my stay I felt like a family member ☺️ Thank you once again! ❤️

    This place is a few steps away from the best beach in Zanzibar. Perfect location for a place that's not a beachfront. It is also located right next to the city center so there are restaurants, mini markets, bars and other shops everywhere within walking distance. Great hosts
