Villa holiday rentals in Zanzibar Archipelago

nice place, very cozy. but lots of electricity issues however the hosts were very helpful with generators. lots of annoying salesman waiting outside the property following us around all day which wasnt fun

Das Haus war super. Wir hatten alles was wir brauchten und konnten zu Fuß am Strand entlang Restaurants besuchen. Die Leute sind unglaublich herzlich. Die Haushälter/innen Majuma, Aysa und Ben waren die aller besten und liebsten. Sie waren unglaublich lieb und hilfsbereit. haben uns täglich ein super leckeres Frühstück und Abendessen zubereitet. Die beiden Tourguides Solomon und Rahmadan haben uns unvergessliche Trips gebucht, alles was wir uns vorgestellt haben wurde ohne Probleme möglich gemacht. Sie standen uns immer zur Seite und haben uns auch einen Fahrservice anbieten. Wir haben alle richtig doll ins Herz geschlossen. Alles in allem lief alles perfekt und reibungslos. Die Villa können wir zu 100% weiterempfehlen.

Nous avons passe un sejour magnifique ! La residence est calme et tres bien entretenu ! Carol a été très serviable meme si elle netait pas la pour nous accueillir le personnel est vraiment tres sympa et toujours présent pour nous faire découvrir les lieux 😊

Such a beautiful and cozy home! It had a very warm, welcoming feel that made us feel right at home. Everything was thoughtfully set up, and the space was perfect for a relaxing stay. Highly recommend!

Sehr schöne Unterkunft in bester Lage direkt am Strand. Ausstattung und Sauberkeit sind sehr gut. Die Terrasse, die bei Flut nur einen Sprung vom Indischen Ozean entfernt ist, ist einzigartig. Wir haben in Jambiani keine andere Unterkunft gesehen, die solch einen privaten Zugang zum Meer bietet. Bei Ebbe kann man sich immer noch in den vorhandenen Whirlpool legen😎 Es gab in den zehn Tagen, die wir vor Ort waren zweimal Stromausfall, dies wurde aber umgehend durch ein Stromaggregat aufgefangen. Hakuna matata! Was unseren Aufenthalt zu etwas Besonderem gemacht hat war Barau, der Manager vor Ort. Er wohnt in der Nachbarschaft, ist immer erreichbar und ein sehr hilfsbereiter, freundlicher und zuvorkommender Mensch. Er kümmert sich sehr gut um seine Gäste und hilft zuverlässig dabei alle Arten von Touren, ob zu Land oder zu Wasser zu organisieren. Außerdem bieten Barau und seine Frau Zuhura sehr gutes authentisches Essen zu absolut erschwinglichen Preisen an. Also unbedingt ausprobieren!

Simba und sein gesamtes Team haben sich zu jeder Zeit um einen gekümmert, egal ob es mitten in der Nacht war oder ganz in der Früh. Die Unterkunft hat mit die beste Lage auf Zanzibar, da man sich ganz entspannt am nahegelegenen Strand Sonnen kann oder doch abends mal zum ausgehen in die nächste Stadt fahren kann. Die Unterkunft bietet alles was man braucht. Das Essen ist super. Simba sorgt sich nicht nur um seine Gäste sondert hilft seinen Mitarbeitern bei jedem Anlass, das kriegt man nicht überall. Wir freuen uns solche herzlichen Menschen kennenden zu dürfen.

The Villa is absolutely beautiful. We truly felt everything about it was perfect. You feel like you are stepping into another world. The decor is perfect. We loved spending time on the rooftop patio watching locals go about their day and the ocean view was amazing. Also, Furaha and Raphael are wonderful host. Attentive, kind and joyful. We would absolutely recommend staying here. The location is fantastic. It’s a true difference maker while staying in Stone Town.

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:)

Ina et Msuli sont des hôtes très agréables, prévenants et disponibles pour faciliter le séjour. Toujours de bon conseil, ils nous ont aidé à organiser nos activités en nous proposant des personnes de confiance, notamment lorsque l'un de nous a été malade. La maison est agréable et les personnes employées sont charmantes, toujours prêtes à rendre service. Un excellent séjour !

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.

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.

INCREDIBLE stay!!! One of the best Airbnbs I’ve visited. The home and grounds are even more beautiful than in the pictures. The hosts Abdul & Ramadhani are so responsive and very helpful organizing local rides, tours, airport transfer, etc. Food was delicious and much enjoyed. We will certainly stay again if we find ourselves back in Zanzibar!

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!

Nous sommes restés 15 jours et tout était parfait! Cet endroit est magnifique, les extérieurs sont exceptionnels avec ce jardin de sable blanc, des palmiers de plus de 10 mètres, une piscine idéalement située à mi chemin entre la maison et la mer avec sa plage privée... L'accueil et la disponibilité de Niccolo et de ses équipes ainsi que leurs conseils nous on rendu le séjour très agréable. Nous avons passé 2 semaines au paradis!

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.

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?

All hotel staff always very helpful, friendly, and professional. They were able to solve all our wishes and requirements quickly and willingly. Even cooking delicious meals. The accommodation has a great location, and a wonderful view of the ocean.

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.

Mohammed and staff were very accommodating during our stay. If you are looking for a location that’s centrally located because you want to explore the island then this is great. It’s also easy access to stone town without being directly in stone town. Villa was as advertised and the daily Swahili breakfast was an unexpected nice surprise. I’d go back.

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.

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.
