Mediterraneo Hotel & Conference Room
On the shores of the Dar es Salaam residential neighborhood of Kawe (between Mikocheni and Mbezi Beach), is a charming boutique hotel called Mediterraneo.
With beautiful gardens that are a delight both during the day and at night, artistically decorated Mediterraneo is also home to one of Dar es Salaam’s most popular Italian restaurants of the same name.
The experience of the Indian Ocean and the views across it, at Mediterraneo, are simply stunning!
Before I moved to Dar es Salaam, this is one of the places that first made me fall in love with the city.
Mediterraneo is a small one-level boutique hotel with tastefully decorated rooms and well-fitted modern bathrooms.
It has a swimming pool near the ocean and beach access.
Kawe Beach, where Mediterraneo is located, is about a 45-minute drive from downtown Dar es Salaam (longer during rush hour). Beware of this if you need to commute to other parts of the city, especially at that time.

Protea Hotel by Marriot Dar es Salaam Amani Beach
Thirty-three kilometers south of downtown Dar es Salaam lies the lovely Protea Hotel by Marriot Dar e Salaam Amani Beach.
Idyllic, tranquil, and with only 10 cottages, Amani Beach offers one of the most beautiful beaches anywhere near Dar es Salaam…complete with a four-poster bed on the beach.
The food is simple but good. The service is very friendly.
If you want an unadulterated, quiet beach away from the city, this might be the perfect place for you.
