Our best hotel stay ever

Travel Date: February 28, 2025

Zanzi Resort is the best hotel experience. Love the late breakfast until 12 in the room in front of our private pool. The breakfast is super awesome and I would argue that it is better than most top breakfasts in the Nordics - even the ones that win breakfast awards....

Perfect for privacy and relaxation

Travel Date: June 30, 2024

I recommend to book a villa with a private pool as the hotel beach is a bit rocky, however you can swim from a pier. This hotel is for relaxation in the privacy of the villa, not for classic beach experience. So it made a very nice addition to our...
