About Sunrise

Welcome to Sunrise

Where the Indian Ocean meets authentic Tanzanian hospitality.

Nestled along the pristine, sun-drenched shores of Kigamboni, Sunrise Beach Resort has been a sanctuary for travelers since 2002. Just a short 15km escape from the bustling heart of Dar es Salaam, our resort offers a rare balance: the peaceful seclusion of a private tropical island with the accessibility of the city.

Recently renovated to preserve our “Modern-Swahili” aesthetic, we pride ourselves on being a destination where every sunrise marks the beginning of a new adventure. Whether you are here for a romantic getaway, a family holiday, or a milestone celebration, our thatched-roof cottages and lush palm gardens provide a picturesque backdrop for memories that last a lifetime.

Family Friendly Beach

The Sunrise Experience

We believe a great vacation is defined by choice. At Sunrise, you can spend your morning in total stillness or heart-pounding excitement.

Pristine Private Beach: Step directly from your room onto white sands. Our beach is meticulously maintained, offering a quiet space for sunbathing, private picnics, and evening strolls under the stars.

Adrenaline & Exploration: For the thrill-seekers, we offer a range of motorized water sports, from jet skiing to banana boat rides. Prefer a slower pace? Explore the turquoise waters via kayak or paddleboard, or let us arrange a boat trip to the nearby uninhabited islands.

Family-First Atmosphere: We are a destination for all generations. While parents unwind at our spa or enjoy a cocktail at the ocean-front bar, children can explore our dedicated playground and splash in the kid-friendly zones of our expansive outdoor pool.
