Villa Dahl Beach Resort

Villa Dahl Beach Resort sits on a coral sand beach on the Kigamboni Peninsula in Dar es Salaam. You stay in one of eight air-conditioned rooms or suites, each with a flat-screen TV, mosquito net and electric kettle. The beach is steps from the door.

The resort has a swimming pool for when you want a dip without sand, and a restaurant and bar that serve meals through the day. Breakfast is included and served on-site. The kitchen prepares local dishes alongside international options.

Kigamboni Peninsula is across the harbor from central Dar es Salaam, reached by ferry or road bridge. The resort offers shuttle services for guests who need transport to the city or airport. Wi-Fi covers the property, and staff can arrange local excursions.

The rooms are built to catch the sea breeze, with closets for storage and toiletries provided. Mosquito nets drape over the beds, and electric kettles let you make tea or coffee without leaving your room.
