Merry Christmas

Very keen to learn something new and to earn some extra money, our gardener Moses started to create Christmas trees from driftwood for hotels as decoration for Christmas. A simple post on Facebook resulted in many orders from hotel owners, who all responded very enthusiastic to Moses his project.

The Bellevue Christmas Tree project was a big success: 19 trees have been made and delivered to various hotels. We are so happy for Moses! Here a small selection of the trees that can be found all around Zanzibar Island. Merry Christmas!

Bellevue Garden Cottage

Opened this summer is our Garden Cottage. Located in our tropical garden, guests can enjoy their privacy with family and friends while all facilities of Bellevue are only a few meters away. Monkeys, bush babies, squirrels and even an elephant shrew (try to spot it!!) are living in the garden, which makes it so much fun to sit on your terrace with a cold drink in the afternoon or a coffee in the morning.

The cottage has 2 floors and both can host 3 people (+ baby bed if needed). The ground floor has a living room and mini bar. Both floors have en-suite bathrooms. The Bellevue Garden Cottage can be rented as 1, or both floors separately. Breakfast in the morning is served in the restaurant and is included in the rate.

Ground floor: 1 double bed + 1 single bed & en-suite bathroom and living room First floor: 1 double bed + 1 single bed & en-suite bathroom

Meet our Chef!

Our restaurant at Bellevue is managed by our fantastic Chef Yussuf. Since 2013 he spoils our guests with tasty dishes inspired by the Swahili, European and Asian kitchen. In our restaurant we have a daily changing menu, so you can imagine that the kitchen book of our chef is full of recipes. His book is never ending, because Yussuf keeps himself busy creating new dishes. And we don't mind tasting them. Cigale lobster thermidor, grilled beef, aubergine masala or fish with fresh herbs...this is just a small selection of mouthwatering dishes that could be on our menu on any regular day. Special dinner evenings in Bellevue are a real joy; BBQ, Swahili buffet and sushi. On Friday our kitchen turns into a Japanese 'daidokoro', where Yussuf and his team prepare sushi for our guests, but also for visitors from outside. His own favorite food to eat is Swahili food. And Chef is more than happy to teach how to cook Swahili dishes during a cooking class!
