Uroa is a quiet east-coast fishing and seaweed village where the stays are mostly mid-range and all-inclusive beach resorts on a calm, big-tide shore, best for couples and anyone happy to settle into a resort.
It runs a restaurant and arranges diving, snorkelling and bike tours, with airport transfers and room service. About US$128 a night, the mid-range pick, though it is back from the sand rather than on it.
The top-end option in the village: a five-star premium all-inclusive resort with a spa, a gym, live music and cooking classes. At about US$473 a night, all in, it is by far the priciest stay in Uroa, aimed at travellers who want to book full-board and stay put.
A four-star spa hotel on the Chwaka Bay side of Uroa, named for its treehouse and an outsized swimming pool. Rooms come with sea or garden views, and there are two restaurants and a gym on site.
Paradise runs as a four-star all-inclusive on the calm Uroa shore, with three restaurants, a spa, a gym and rooms set up for families. Airport transfers can be arranged, and at about US$250 a night it is full-board pricing.
A four-star all-inclusive right on Uroa beach, with a private beach area, three restaurants, a spa and a gym. This is the beachfront all-inclusive of the bunch, a private stretch of sand rather than a set-back plot.
