  • Description
    Ras Kutani is an idyllic beach getaway located on the tranquil Indian Ocean. Home to a scattered, well-appointed cluster of bandas, peace and tranquility is assured. Long stretches of pristine beach and warm blue seas offer romantic hide-aways and total relaxation before or after the excitement of a bush safari.

    The resort is situated only 35 kilometers South of the port of Dar es Salaam offers the perfect hideaway, far from the madding crowd. The setting ensures that feeling of being on one's own tropical island. The hotel is flanked by a fresh water lagoon abutting onto a coastal forest, which spills to the edge of the unspoilt and undeveloped beach.

    Highlights
    Relaxation is the keynote at Ras Kutani. The temperate seas and proximity of coral reefs ensure a wealth of marine life and interest for those keen on snorkelling. Apart from a variety of colourful fish, dolphins, whales and turtles are frequent visitors to these shores and we do provide snorkeling equipment so one can snorkel from the shore.

    For those who prefer a somewhat drier experience kayaks are available to explore the fresh water lagoon. And when the surf is up boogie boards provide plenty of thrills in the surf nearby.

    Regardless of what guests choose, the tides will not interfere, even if it is just for a swim in the ocean: at Ras Kutani one can do so at any time off a sand beach!

    Nature lovers will find their pleasure close to home. The tropical, coastal forest behind the hotel boasts some 132 different species of trees in many of which one can watch the antics of four species of monkey, including the spectacular black-and-white colobus. Next to this forest walk one can also make a visit to the village nearby to taste Swahili life.

    Turtles still come to nest along the shore of Ras Kutani in season, with opportunities for interested guests to become involved in the projects that continue to look out for their welfare.The deserted beach is also ideal for long walks and a chance to experience the enchantment of a tropical shoreline redolent with the history of a continent.

    Room information
    Accommodation is in nine spacious, charming cottages constructed of natural, local materials that blend perfectly with the wonderful surroundings. Ethnic furnishings impart a sense of the Tanzanian coast's rich cultural heritage. Each cottage has its own en-suite bathroom and large veranda with views of the azure ocean. Ras Kutani's chefs pride themselves on preparing the fresh 'fruit of the ocean' fare from the readily available local fish and crustaceans.

    On top of the hill there are also four suites and a family unit all with stunning views.
