Blue Lagoon
About
Blue Lagoon serves Zanzibar from an address on Unnamed Road in Dongwe, a village on the island's east coast. Guests have given Blue Lagoon a 4.2 out of 5 average across 263 reviews, a record that reflects steady satisfaction among its clientele. The premises sit in the Dongwe area, which anchors the business in the island's coastal strip rather than in Stone Town.
Reaching the venue from the main resorts is straightforward, since Dongwe sits within the island's road network and the surrounding routes link it to the wider region. The nearby places that frame a visit include Stone Town, Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje, Jambiani, Bwejuu, Kiwayu and Matemwe. Blue Lagoon is a restaurant, and its identity is tied to the Dongwe area.
Opening hours run Mo-Su 14:00-23:00, so the kitchen trades through the afternoon and into the evening. The venue's position in Dongwe makes it a practical stop for travellers moving between the island's eastern beaches and the wider region.
Swahili coastal cooking is built on rice, coconut milk, seafood and spices such as clove and cinnamon, so a visit is a chance to eat what the coast produces. The long rains, masika, fall from March to May, and the short rains, vuli, in November and December, so a visit is easiest outside those months.
