Villa holiday rentals in Jambiani

Very lovely and comfortable villa with lots of amenities, and a nice and clean shared, private pool. Two villas in a gated property. Fully equipped kitchen, refrigerator, microwave (needs to be replaced). Breakfast area by the pool. BBQ grill available. 5 minutes walk to the beach and about 10 minutes to beachfront restaurants. Kareem, who is the resident helper does it all! He is an AWESOME helper who is always available to help with anything, even the smallest detail. Fast, energetic, enthusiastic, never complains and always a happy, smiling personality. HE made our stay incredibly enjoyable. Runs errands as needed. Unfortunately, we had a few instances where the electricity went out (once for an extended period of time during the night and through around 10 am the next day) which caused discomfort since the AC and fans wouldn’t work but these were town-wide outages and not under the property’s control. However, I would recommend installing a generator to avoid such inconveniences.

As our first time traveling abroad, we felt right at home at The Zanzibar Beach House (which made saying goodbye so hard.) We were blown away with the views, the amazing self-catering unit to cook our own foods (to stay within our budget) and the help we received from the hosts were great! We will miss this piece of paradise 🏝 and we only wish for everyone else planning their trip to Zanzibar to take our advise and book the stay at the unique Zanzibar Beach House! We hope to be back soon! 🇹🇿

Very nice place in a prime location right at the beach. Amenities and cleanliness are very good. The terrace, which is just a jump from the Indian Ocean at high tide, is unique. We have not seen any other accommodation in Jambiani that provides such private access to the sea. At low tide, you can still lie down in the existing hot tub😎 There was a power outage twice in the ten days we were on site, but this was promptly picked up by a generator set. Hakuna matata! What made our stay that bit special was Barau, the local manager. He lives in the neighborhood, is always available and a very helpful, friendly and accommodating person. He cares very well for his guests and reliably helps to organize all kinds of tours, whether on land or water. In addition, Barau and his wife Zuhura offer very good authentic food at absolutely affordable prices. So definitely try it!

Exactly as described and met our needs perfectly. Great communication and flexibility from the host when our plans changed slightly due to travel disruptions.

Very nice secluded place in Paje, high quality villa. Host were flexible, quick to respond in communication.

Nice location nice place to stay it was a bit smelly when we checked in tho not sure what the smell was

Me and 7 other friends stayed here for 1 week and had a great time. We were a bit skeptical about not having a swimming pool, but a 1 minute walk by the beach and you can find Bahari which is great for food and The Loop which is great for swimming in pool (its free). We made an agreement to when the maids were supposed to clean wich was also great for those who like to sleep long. We had some difficulty finding the villa since we used our own driver, so I would recommend using the villas driver or set your google maps to Bahari Pizza Resturant to get there safely with your own driver. Overall the stay was great with a 10 minute drive to Paje city center, and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay in Zanzibar:)

This home right on the shores of Jambiani Beach is a dream come true. We loved every minute of our stay. Kerstin was an excellent host and communicated exceptionally well. Sulei (the local caretaker) was very helpful and provided daily advice for activities, food, taxis, etc. Overall, this home is in an incredible location and was the perfect place to have a restful vacation.

Ina and Msuli are very pleasant, considerate and available hosts to facilitate the stay. Always good advice, they helped us organize our activities by offering us people we trust, especially when one of us was sick. The house is nice and the people employed are charming, always ready to help. Great stay!

Loved our stay and the people were amazing! The daily breakfast and dinner were fabulous and we were well cared for by the property staff. Thank you Moonshine for allowing us to stay at your property to experience Zanzibar!

Lorenz was very responsive and accommodating, particularly when we expressed concern that the whirlpool is inside and cannot be closed off. we have a 3 year old who sometimes wanders at night and we were worried he would get into the pool while we slept; Lorenz offered to drain and cover the whirlpool for us. the beach is lively and clean and everyone we encountered was very friendly. lots of restaurants nearby on the beach. the house staff is very friendly and helpful. the washer listed as an amenity was not available but the staff took our laundry and washed and dried it for us.

one of the most beautiful houses in Zanzibar, a great location to enjoy the holidays, Maciek is a great host with his team we truly got to enjoy Zanzibar, will surely visit again

We booked both connecting airbnbs. They are identical. The prompt was even better than pictured. Many ig picture worthy spots. There is only ac on the bedrooms so the common areas do get warm. The house manager was extremely friendly and helpful. I recommend getting the chef he did a great job. There is a little convenience store about 10 min walk but other than that there isn’t a whole lot around. The location is an hour drive from The rock restaurant, stone town and the northern beach.

If you’re looking for a place that combines tranquility, art, and warm hospitality while keeping you close to the action, this is it. This is the one & I’ll definitely be back special thanks to the staff here. they are incredibly friendly, informative, and always eager to help, making the stay even more special. Chef Ahmed’s food is nothing short of mouthwatering.

Thank you so much for hosting us at your villa, Calister! It was truly a wonderful getaway. We loved the beautiful beach view, the comfortable amenities, and especially the excellent communication throughout our stay. Calister went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly — from helping us find the right ingredients for our meals to organizing transport for our outings. She was always available and on top of everything. Amazing service! We had a great experience and truly appreciated the care and attention. Thanks again!

The villa offers privacy, a private swimming pool, and beach access. Riccardo is simply an outstanding host. The structure offers a blend of Italian and Zanzibari culture. The housekeepers were highly professional and very warm. The villa is exceptionally impressive and extremely well-maintained. Of most the Airbnbs I have stayed in, I would highly rate this one without any reservations.

Hey! Amazing stay. Joseph is incredible - give this man a raise or a promotion. Beautiful location. Was a little toasty at times with there not being any aircon but for those with a bare minimum determination to survive, the fans work pretty good. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a well priced, central location to relax in and explore Paje from. Wish we made more use of the top level!

The house was great. We had everything we needed and were able to visit restaurants on foot along the beach. People are incredibly welcoming. The housekeepers Majuma, Aysa and Ben were the best and loved ones. They were incredibly sweet and helpful. prepared us a super delicious breakfast and dinner every day. The two tour guides Solomon and Rahmadan booked us unforgettable trips, everything we imagined was made possible without problems. They were always there for us and offered us a car service. We all really loved it. All in all, everything went perfectly and smoothly. We can 100% recommend the villa.

Meg was very accommodating, and a awesome host. The place was beautiful and the stay was comforting

We rented a two floor apartment at Villa Mina for a month. It was spacious and had all we needed for a comfortable stay. The views from both balconies were spectacular. There were loungers and beds to use which gave a little extra privacy from the beach sellers. Lots of choice of nearby restaurants. Breakfasts were excellent with coffee and freshly made fruit juice, fruit, eggs to order and a variety of pastries and breads. There is a swimming pool that can be used about a 5-minute walk away, which my girls enjoyed. Mina and everyone there are very friendly and will help with anything you ask. They made us very welcome. It felt like a home-from-home, only with a spectacular beach in front. We would love to return and hopefully will!

The house is big, well built and located in a very peaceful, quiet place, not far away from the ocean. The house was good enough equipped and with the 24/7 watchmen who also took care of the swimming pool being cleaned. Raphael was in touched and resolved a couple of issues we got while staying there. All together gives me a strong reason to recommend this house for a stay of either single traveller or a family of 4 members maximum.

Enjoyed! Nice and quiet but need a car to get there. Well received and it was easy to get in.

Simba’s apartments was a wonderful stay. Christoph was a generous and pleasant host, very available. We got to watch both the Wimbledon and Euros finals (in the bedrooms is possible too) - if you enjoy sports, it’s the right place to go. The staff was super friendly. The rooms very comfortable. And you’re a short walk from the beautiful pristine beach. SIMBA has a partnership with Mayai Hotel so you can go enjoy the pool, beach and restaurant at Mayai (10min walk away). We recommend staying here!

The place is as described and shown in the pictures. The beautiful white beach is a few seconds walk. The caretakers of the house including the chef and the guard were very friendly and helpful whenever we needed anything. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.
