The Oyster Bay

Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania

Platinum price level

Mango Opinion

Finally a luxury hotel in Dar Es Salaam but its pricey. For high-end travelers, this is a lovely respite in an otherwise bustling port town devoid of character. Great food and hospitality catering to individual travelers interests with ease.

The Oyster Bay is like staying with friends, a beautiful large home and garden with eight luxurious ocean facing guest suites. They are fabulously furnished in contemporary African style. The suites reflect modern day Africa in a timeless setting - balmy, equatorial, coastal, Dar es Salaam. You will feel that you are staying somewhere special and that your stay in Dar es Salaam becomes yet another highlight of your holiday. 

Rooms are furnished with king-sized or twin beds with an ocean view, comfortable lounge furniture, writing desks, plasma screen televisions and WiFi computer technology, in fact everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. There is air-conditioning, it is sometimes necessary in this equatorial climate, but each suite is fitted with ceiling fans and also French doors that open on to an balcony capturing even the slightest breeze. The en-suite bathrooms, with free standing bath and walk through showers and enclosed toilet cubicle flow off the main bedroom area creating a feeling of modern day spaciousness.

The lounges and dining areas flow out on to a covered verandah and to a gazebo to enjoy the space and contemporary designed garden. Meals are served on the verandah, in the dining area and on the pool deck depending on time of day and weather conditions. Relax and refresh in the fifteen-meter lap pool in the garden with a combination of pool decks and sun bathing and shady areas.
