A charming collection of beach cabins and tents nestled on the coast of the Kigamboni district of Dar es Salaam, home to some of the least frequented yet most picturesque beachfronts in Tanzania.

Our Story

Our properties are situated in the peaceful enclave of Amani Gomvu, South-East of Tanzania’s largest city, Dar es Salaam. Each cabin and tent is tucked away in a secluded sanctuary of forest, beach and sand dunes that feels a million miles away from civilization.

Hidden paradise. Absolutely stunning views. We stayed in the Hideaway. Full kitchen. So even though the food was amazing, definitely bring snacks and drinks and even food to cook, if you like. Top-notch customer service. Clean. Pristine beaches. Quiet. Relaxing. We will be going back again and again.
