It all began in 1971 with the completion of the original Kunduchi Beach Hotel built by Tanzania Tourist Corporation. The Hotel was opened by the then Minister of Tourism, Hon. George Kahama, and managed for some years by Hallmark Hotels from the United Kingdom. It was not long before it became recognized as one of the 100 best hotels in the World.

The running of the hotel was later taken over by Tanzania Tourist Corporation. However, during the 1980's massive beach erosion threatened the Kunduchi coastline as well as the hotel's very foundations and in spite of consulting with many different experts the government failed to arrest the erosion.

Around the same time the privatization process had started and the hotel was offered for sale. Unfortunately the first buyers, a Kenyan company, walked out forfeiting their 10% deposit when they came to realize the full extend of the erosion problem.

Once again the Kunduchi Beach Hotel was put out on tender and the successful bidders, The Wellworth Hotels and Resorts, acquired it in 1997 and started the beach reclamation process in 1999. This, together with the assistance of a number of experts from the University of Dar es Salaam and around the world, took three and a half years and a cost of 4.5 million US$.

After the reclamation of the land the hotel itself has undergone major renovation which took Two years for the completion and a total project cost of 21 million US$.

After this extensive renovation and reclamation the Wellworth Group of Hotels now present the old elegant hotel to our guests in a golden platter regaining all its old Charm and Beauty, now stand along the coast of Kunduchi. The Great Hotel of one time!!!!
