Mediterraneo Hotel

Dar es Salaam

LoginSave

With its clubby weekend vibe and spacious garden rooms the Mediterraneo is a great family-friendly option. Rooms have wrought-iron beds and colour-washed walls, while the popular open-sided restaurant serves Italian food overlooking Kawe Beach. Its all-night beach party on the third Saturday of the month is either to be awaited or avoided, depending on your mindset. Significant discounts for online bookings.

It’s about 10km north of the city centre in Kawe, signposted off the Old Bagamoyo Rd. A taxi to the centre of town costs Tsh20,000 and Tsh15,000 to Msasani.
