Overview:

Ras Nungwi is a well established hotel with a very natural and laid back feel. The white washed palm thatched cottages that make up the resort are perched upon a short coral cliff top on the northern tip of Zanzibar Island, offering stunning views to the sparkling iridescent Indian Ocean beyond. Spread throughout rich tropical gardens and loaded with high-quality facilities to keep you entertained, this hotel is a great choice for anyone who is looking to both relax and enjoy the activities on offer.

Ras Nungwi is located just 30 minutes walk from the vibrant area of Nungwi, whilst the beach at the lodge remains quiet, pristine and unspoilt. Ras Nungwi is designed to be eco-sensitive and work harmoniously with the beautiful natural paradise that surrounds it, without foregoing our creature comforts. The buildings are traditional in design and made from all-natural materials with thatched makuti roofs. Each room is decorated beautifully with the use of local artifacts and fabrics. There is a good sized swimming pool, which is lined with blue shaded glass mosaic tiles and from here there are amazing views out to the ocean.

Ras Nungwi is renowned for its excellent cuisine. An English breakfast is served daily with a buffet of fresh tropical fruits, cereals, breads pastries and preserves. Lunch can be enjoyed wherever you like; the open air restaurant, by the pool, on the beach or at the beach bar. A five course table d’hote menu is served for dinner with occasional seafood buffets and barbeque dinners to keep things different and exciting. Naturally there is an extensive South African wine list as well as French Champagne to accompany the menus.

As part of Ras Nungwi's commitment to the local community, they were the driving force behind the establishment of the Labayka (“The Voice”) Development Fund (LDF), a local Non-Governmental Organization (NGO). LDF aims to support and steer sustainable socio-economic development, promote good health & hygiene practices, support education and training initiatives, and offer family counselling for the general population and families in Nungwi village. Furthermore, LDF aims to protect and preserve the natural environment at Nungwi, as well as its cultural and historical assets.

LDF is managed by an Executive Committee of 10 volunteers, all of whom live and work in Nungwi village. Ras Nungwi Beach Hotel is the main sponsor of LDF, currently accounting for more than 90% of its annual operational budget, and has additionally assisted the NGO in several specific projects since its inception.
