9/10 Wonderful! (12 reviews)
We had an exceptional stay at Ycona Luxury Resort—truly one of the best resorts I’ve ever visited. The villa was beautifully designed, combining luxury with lush greenery and a variety of trees that created a peaceful and refreshing atmosphere. As a wildlife enthusiast and photographer, I was thrilled to spot incredible species right from the resort grounds, including a Zanzibar Red Colobus monkey, a Red Squirrel, and the stunning Woodland Kingfisher. Everything about the stay felt curated and serene—from the elegant layout of the resort to the natural surroundings. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious yet nature-filled retreat in Zanzibar.

Beautiful property, we are so glad we chose the Mora. The staff was friendly and helpful. They have everything you need. The food and drink options were plentiful. The buffet has plenty of options and the Indian food was amazing. The beach front was gorgeous. You don’t need to leave the property and explore the island but you can if needed. Thank you Mora!

Best sunset swim!
"Fantastic location - amazing view and easy access to explore Stone Town. The pools were lovely! Food was good. The only small downside was that one of the sellers from outside twice approach us in the hotel trying to sell us a painting - once just outside our room."
