Villa holiday rentals in Nungwi

The feeling to live in a big private house with this garden almost like a jungle outside is amazing. The staff takes so good care of you and cook great meals. Jaku helped us with everything. Atm, shop,guids, food, showed us around, visit the villige school and was always on time. It is calm and not so many tourist around. The white beach outside is huge and its a great place for swimming. (I hope they start cleaning it a bit more, it deserve it. Nice restaurants close with wifi! The house is without so don't forget to load down the movie that you would like to see in the evening :) But these days its nice not having wifi all the time. Take the break, its good for us. The house gets a little dark in the evening but I hope there are more lamps next time I come back, because I really to want come back. They have changed the roof so don't get confused. its the same house as in the picture on airbnb. If you want get away from tourist and looking for a calm place just to relax, this is your house. And the house can absolutely take 15-20 persons. The villige behind it is small and not rich but the people that lives there are great and warm. we felt welcomed. So hire this place, meet the people that actually lives and was born in Zanzibar, Big hotels are all over the world, this is so much more. All my best, Siri

Amazing on all levels. Warmly recommended and I will stay here next time I’m in Zanzibar 🙏

We were very warmly welcomed by the entire team at the property. Said had organized the transfer from the airport well and cheaply for us. Fitina & Juma & Basibwa were extremely accommodating and organized excursions (boat tours, visiting a village) as well as shopping. Wonderful! We really enjoyed your attention and connections. We were always safe! The cute bungalow right on the beach is simple and equipped with simple means. The kitchen is outdoor and has everything you need. In simplicity lies the charm, the proximity to the sea, the large private area invites you to linger and relax. Here you live with the tides of the water and vibrate with the philosophy of the locals... without frills but with a lot of heart. Let yourself be pampered by master chef Ali Baba or Youssouf. They are happy when you are. An absolute recommendation for people who want to live the African mentality: HAKUNA MATATA

A very well-equipped villa, especially if you keep your eyes open and see the conditions in which the local people live in their immediate surroundings. The locals are friendly and open, only language can be a barrier to making friends. We spent these few days just lazing around, we only went to the beach to go to the beach, to search in the sea, to play football in the sand. There is not a huge selection of restaurants and they are a bit more expensive than the other village we visited, Jambiani. The apartment and the kitchen are well equipped, you can also spend time in the garden, everything is added. We experienced something that we rarely get used to during our travels: the TV was not just a decoration on the wall, it worked, with lots of channels. Adam and Rahel are our two hosts. We found that Adam was there and easily available for us, he uses his phone, he doesn't only respond through the airbnb interface. He was at our disposal regarding power outages and internet problems

Loved staying at Dullah's, he was very welcoming even staying up til 2am when we arrived due to delayed flight. The whole villa was gorgeous with spacious rooms, clean floors, pristine bathroom and crip sheets. The power including wifi would go off especially at night, we were prewarned and in Africa so didn't bother us but could for some. Dullah hooked us up with local companies for scuba diving and was full of recommendations! Could have communicated a little bit clearer on prices of laundry and paying for water as there was a bit of confusion but otherwise wonderful place to stay.

Great welcome from Laucin and Ney. Very clean, very functional rental. Breakfasts and dishes are great. No direct access to the sea but the 5 min walk needed is very little effort. We recommend+++

We really enjoyed Hamia’s villa! Beautiful grounds, helpful and kind staff and co-hosts, great location, and rooms that were clean and well equipped. The plants are beautiful, rooftop, pool, workout space etc. This is not my first time in Zanzibar and I would recommend this villa to those who want a quick walk to Kendwa beach and to local places. The villa was a little difficult for our driver to find, but with a quick call to Patrick, we were able to find it. Use the RIU Palace as a landmark and it’s easy from there. Patrick, Omar, and the rest of the staff were beyond helpful and friendly. Offer to take you grocery shopping, and make sure you have everything you need no matter what. They take good care of the beautiful grounds and take good care of you when you stay at the villa. Thank you for opening your space to us. I had a wonderful time and I will definitely be back!

The best vacation of our life thanks to this lovely home on the beach in Zanzibar. Lucrezia was a very responsive host. The house manager Mariam was outstanding at everything and keeping us comfortable, arranging taxis, arranging chef, being responsive with the house. Chef Omar was amazing.The tastiest meals were prepared with artistry, healthiness and freshness and tasted fantastic! We did yoga every morning at The Yoga Bar which is literally a 1 minute walk away from the Airbnb along the beach. We got to talk to many of the local village people who were kind. Shopping along the beach with local vendors is also a 2 min walk away on the beach. We rarely needed to leave the area. We did occasionally for excursions which were easy to coordinate with Mariam. But we always loved coming back to this Airbnb home as our home base. Thank you for helping us create such wonderful Zanzibar Tanzania memories at this relaxing beach home. We will be back!

This villa is an absolute gem! I can only recommend to grab the opportunity, if this available! Felt right away like home. Elena and Simone are super responsive and absolutely lovely people. The staff is just over the top. Did a very very good job and all are extremely friendly and helpful. The villa is in first beach row, lovely furniture and well equipped. Thanks for hosting us! We loved staying here from the very first second.

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!

Aziz’s place saved our group of 8 from being accommodation-less on our first trip to Zanzibar and it turned out for the better. We felt welcome immediately, nothing was too hard or impossible. We had 4 children under 6 with us and the hosts treated them as their own. Every morning we had our fill of fruit, eggs and toast but if you prefer to go out that was also easy and doable. We had 2 seafood feasts of octopus, crayfish, squid and fish which was some of the best cooked seafood our group has eaten. 3 of our days Jojo, one of the hosts came with us and made navigating stone town and the other places we visited much easier. The accommodation was beautiful, in a great peaceful location. It is difficult to find but I messaged Aziz and he sent a driver to collect us from the airport seamlessly. The accommodation itself is quite rustic but for us it was all we needed. The fact they had a pool for when the tide goes out was great for the kids. All in all a great experience for our group!

We had a wonderful time, the house is beautiful and Bakari and Vicki were on hand to help with anything. The house was very clean and Vicki did a great job leaving us lovely bed art. Would love to visit and stay again.

great villa right on the beach of Kiwengwa. the beach is mostly active with locals from the village going about their day to day either fishing, kids playing or more; which is a refreshing sight compared to the overcrowded tourist beach's of Zanzibar. the villa is beautiful and the host great

Spectacular villa with an even more spectacular view of the ocean. Secluded location that can really allow one to relax and slow down. Very responsive host. The food was simply but extremely tasty albeit a bit pricey but you can expect that in a premium property such as this. The last 200m to the villa is a bumpy track with unlit access, salty water in the showers and some rooms didn’t have drawers or storage are about the only wrinkles. Very close to Muyuni beach with white sand beaches that are relatively less crowded. Overall a fabulous experience

We, a group of eight, stayed for eight days, and we had a great time! The house is big, clean, nice and placed right in front of the ocean. The pool was nice and clean. We had a guard and a cleaner every day. If you rent this house and say no to the chef, you lose out half the experience. His food was the best we had anywhere on the island. The place is priced reasonably, I don’t think you will find a better place for the same price on Zanzibar. You will be on the shallow side of the island, but you can get around very easily with a taxi from the area. You never really know 100% what to expect when renting an Airbnb, but I can promise you that you will be happy with this place. Some of the people in my group asked if they could write reviews as well, even. Again, I can’t stress enough how worth it the chef is. It was better than the pictures. Thank you for having us!

This place was absolutely awesome. You will not find a better place in Zanzabar. The beach is great and the accommodations were spectacular. We really had a great time on this trip because of the location of this Airbnb.

it's a 10/10 everything was great,we enjoyed staying at Villa liem and we will definitely visit the place again...

Sure! How about this: “I had a fantastic experience at your property. Everything was just right, and I felt so at home. Thank you for being such a wonderful host!” Does that work for you?

This was by far the best place we stayed at, which was agreed upon by a group of 6 guests. Check-in was very flexible and the place looked even better than described on the site. The place was cleaned daily and Co host Bakari was very attentive by coming daily to check on us. The surrounding areas were amazing and great food was all around the place. There was nothing that fell short. Overlooking the beach with bbq amenities on the roof top that offered great views all around. This place was phenomenal. Five stars in our view.

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.

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.

Our 2 families (10 persons) had a great time and stay in this house over Christmas. This house doesn't have any AC but the fans do a pretty good job. Nice deep pool which was of great use as the tide and seaweed has big influence on the beach just outside . Along the shore there are couple of cozy restaurants. Be caution and aware of palm trees with coconuts that can fall down from the neighbor plots. Housekeeper Hidaya was great and so friendly, she helped with cleaning and cooking.

We had a wonderful stay! The residence is quiet and very well maintained! Carol was very helpful even if she wasn't there to welcome us. The staff are really very nice and always present to help us discover the place. 😊

Overall, this place was fantastic. It’s a traditional Zanzibar design so it’s not a modern place, but exactly what we wanted. We were thrilled to be there with our large group of two families, including 5 children. Rasheed was excellent and accommodated all of our requests. Food, especially breakfast, was delicious. The beach outside the villa is pristine, with white sand beaches and a beautiful Indian Ocean right outside the doorstep. The private pool was incredible. The villa rental subsidizes the Tamani Foundation and its students, so staying here contributes to the education of local kids. Win win.
