Facing the Indian Ocean in the northern part of Dar Es Salaam, a calmer district of this bustling city, Serene Beach Resort is a simple, comfortable place to stay. Its 26 roomy rooms all have Zanzibari beds, air-conditioning and ensuite bathrooms, making for a relaxing stay by the sea. On hot days you can cool off in the pool overlooking the ocean, then treat yourself at the restaurant, which offers a varied menu of local and international dishes. With direct beach access you can go for a walk and – if you like to rise early – enjoy beautiful sunrises!
