House holiday rentals in Zanzibar Island

Fukuchani Inn is wonderful - the staff is pleasant, kind, and very willing to help with whatever you might need. Everyone was friendly and we had a wonderful stay. The Inn is right near the ocean, a quick little walk to a beautiful (albeit rocky) beach, and it's very close (about 15 mins) from Nungwi beach. And the pool is lovely! We stayed in the 2-bedroom Villa and it was perfect for my family, plenty of space and very clean. And of course I have to mention Daisy, the basset hound!! Such a friendly and good girl :) We would love to come back one day - overall, great stay :) Friendly reminder to travelers, Tanzania and Zanzibar often have power outages, and this includes A/C - but they only lasted a few mins each time, and the staff aims to provide as comfortable a stay as possible.

Edwin the site manager was the best person we met since arriving to Zanzibar. A true gentleman and extremely genuine which can be hard at times to find when traveling. He felt like a friend and was the best host we have had through Airbnb. Would book again!

Stayed 9 nights with my husband (June 2025). Great communication. Got collected at the airport by Suileman (sorry if spelling is wrong!)..we had a hire car so husband followed us behind..would be very hard to find otherwise. We were greeted by Said and Josephine with fresh coconuts... the house is just like the photos. Absolutely stunning. Beautiful gardens and clean pool with incredible views. Incredibly clean..bedrooms were gorgeous as was the bathrooms. Everything you may need was included. Staff were so helpful. Said took my husband out to show us where to buy bread. There are 2 local supermarkets...very expensive and mostly sold UK products! Air-conditioning upstairs but not down..I was incredibly hot. There are fans but still humid and hot. All in all..a fantastic holiday. The beach by villa isn't the best..very rocky..but beautiful views from patio area. Watch out for bugs and lizards.. but that's Africa! A truly memorable holiday. We will return one day. Easy 5 stars.

Our stay at the villa was perfect, we enjoyed all the peace and quiet that the villa offers. Everything you need is within walking distance (beach, restaurants, bar, etc.), where you are greeted warmly by the locals every time, as if you have been living there for years. This is a little gem, hidden in a local area. Highly recommended.

My stay at this beautiful property in Zanzibar was incredible. The house is truly a dream—spacious, elegant, and equipped with all the amenities you could wish for. The multiple terraces provide breath taking views, perfect for enjoying both sunrise and sunset, while the private pool and gardens offer the ultimate space to unwind. There is a very special feature in this property that is a private access to the ocean. It gives you your own slice of paradise. The house is wonderfully private, making it ideal for a peaceful retreat, yet it’s close enough to explore Zanzibar’s many attractions. The host is exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure every need is met. Her warmth, attention to detail, and local tips made the experience unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend this property to anyone looking for luxury, tranquility, and a touch of magic in Zanzibar

Wow I don’t even know where to start! This was truly one of the best Airbnbs I’ve stayed in Zanzibar. As an Airbnb property this one completely exceeded my expectations. It offers amazing value for money.I had such a peaceful time watching the sunset and listening to the sound of the waves. As for the kids words can’t even describe it they had the time of their lives, especially enjoying the infinity pool. I only wish we had booked a longer stay, but unfortunately, it was time to head home. I will definitely be coming back to this home away from home. Having visited Zanzibar several times, I can confidently say that it’s hard to find a place like this near town with full AC, reliable WiFi, fully equipped kitchen. We even made lovely breakfasts for the kids. Bonus: it’s just 5 mins from the airport and only 15 mins to Stone Town. Truly worth every penny.And as for Mohammed what a kind gentleman. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. I recommend this

Our stay in Uroa was wonderful. Emanuele put us in touch with his property manager who helped us with everything from airport transfers, setting up tours and even getting some medicine when some of our family came down with the flu. Uroa is a little bit remote in terms of amenities but that is what we were looking for. There are a few local restaurants within walking distance on the beach but not much more than that. We enjoyed walking the beach every day, swimming and wading out to the sand bar at low tide. There are also people/companies on the beach if you want to setup snorkeling tours or watersports. The caretaker and the housekeeper do a wonderful job keeping up the property and the housekeeper even made a few meals for us with the groceries we bought in Stonetown! The house was beautiful and in good repair. Beds were good and the pool was great to relax in. Overall, it was a very relaxing stay, just what we needed at the end of our trip to Tanzania!

Dejlig villa med pool og udendørs område. Alt var super og Rashid er meget god til at sørge for os. Kan være lidt varmt på værelserne om natten. Men det glemmer man så snart solen står op og man dypper sig i havet ☺️ Kan komme kun anbefale stedet 100% ☺️

Perfect spot for a group! The villa is beautiful, clean, and has great common areas to relax together. The host was super responsive and friendly, and the staff provided top-notch service. We especially loved the delicious included breakfast. Clean rooms, clean pool — everything was just right. Highly recommend!

Ernst ist ein sehr guter Gatsgeber . Er reagiert sofort und Hilft immer .Alles ist sehr gut Organisiert.Die Hilfe vor Ort hat er sehr gut geregelt. Es ist immer ein Ansprechpartner da.Vielleicht mal über ein Notstromaggregat nachdenken......Das Haus liegt direkt am Strand , nur wenige Schritte zum Meer.Absolut Ruhige Lage.Herzlichen Dank für die schöne Zeit dort.

2 weeks in this house was really peaceful and nice. The general manager Mudy and also Anna were very proactive. The house is situated in a very quiet environment and we could walk 15 minutes to Kendwa beach. Otherwise we took moto taxis. I really recommand this place

This was a little slice of calm heaven. Would recommend 💯

This villa was amazing although my only complaint was the comfort of the beds mattress was a bit stiff and uncomfortable. Staff was really nice! Celebrated my birthday and they did an amazing job decorating! Thanks again!

Wie waren aufgrund der aktuellsten eher schlechten Bewertung etwas skeptisch. Haben dann trotzdem gebucht, da wir ganz kurzfristig einchecken konnten und der Preis einfach super war. Welch Glück: es war definitiv die geräumigste und komfortabelste Unterkunft, die wir auf unserer Rundreise auf Sansibar hatten👍👍👍 Besonders das große Wohn-/Esszimmer war trotz der Hitze angenehm kühl und wir verbrachten dort bei starkem Regen einen gemütlichen Spieleabend. Dieses Zimmer ist das einzige des Hauses welches nur mit Metallmückenschutz und ohne Fensterscheiben ausgestattet ist. So geht durch die vielen Fenster immer ein angenehmer Luftzug. Danke für den schönen Aufenthalt!

Cette villa est un vrai bijou ! Perchée face à la mer, elle offre une vue à couper le souffle — impossible de s’en lasser, on restait littéralement hypnotisés par le paysage. La piscine avec vue directe sur l’océan est un vrai bonheur, et l’accès à une plage calme et paisible rend l’endroit encore plus magique. Un véritable havre de paix ! Notre chambre, en face de la mer, était juste splendide — réveils avec vue, moments de sérénité, parfait. Un immense merci à David, toujours hyper accueillant, disponible et réactif (tu sais qu’on n’oubliera pas ton aide, vraiment 🙏). Mention spéciale aussi au chef : les plats étaient délicieux, et c’est un vrai plus quand on veut juste profiter à fond de la villa sans avoir à bouger. Excellent rapport qualité/prix ! Tout est spacieux, bien pensé, et l’ambiance qui s’en dégage est incroyablement apaisante. On repart avec des étoiles plein les yeux ✨ — Fati

Zoe was an amazing host and really helpful with providing recommendations on where to eat and what to see on the island. Zoe was also very quick with her responses which made our stay at Zanzibar stress free. The property was spacious, with the showers having good water pressure and the beds being covered in mosquito nets. We had rented a car and we were able to park the car safely inside the gate. Overall we would definitely recommend Zoe as a host and her property as a great place to stay!

We had an absolutely unforgettable stay at this beautiful villa in Zanzibar. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the peaceful setting, stunning ocean views, and the warm hospitality of the host. The private pool was a dream, and we loved waking up to the sound of the waves and enjoying the complimentary breakfast on the spacious terrace each morning. The staff was friendly and attentive without being intrusive, and the meals prepared with local ingredients Highly recommended—we can't wait to return!

The stay with Kurtis was incredible. The place was absolutely beautiful (a real paradise). We truly felt at home. Kurtis was extremely responsive to everything we needed. We stayed for a month and worked remotely from the home with no problems at all. A great getaway for the digital nomad or someone wanting to disconnect from it all. 6 stars if I could give that. Thank you Kurtis!

Fantastic location on the ocean, with fabulous views from all terraces and especially from the upper outside deck. Great open plan living space with views and spacious bedrooms with en suite bathrooms . The staff were incredibly welcoming, kind and discreet, always there to greet and assist. The property and gardens are really well designed and have a great flow. Superb walks to the reefs at low tide. The remote location provides great privacy and relaxation, highly recommended. We will be back!

Me and my friends had such an amazing experience as our first time in zanzibar and staying at the waterfront staycation. The host Mundhir was the best!! He was so helpful and responsive and gave us everything we needed. His staff was amazing as well, the cook and our breakfast meals were always something to look forward to! From groceries and ordering food to even providing shisha and a trusted driver James! The accomodation was very comfortable and spacious and the pool was great. The only to keep in mind is that the area is secluded from the city but great for a relaxing staycation. Thank you so much to Mundhir and the team, wonderful experience and 10/10 would highly recommend!

Moudy ist ein großartiger Gastgeber, immer gut erreichbar und sehr hilfsbereit. Shuttle von und zur Fähre hatte er von sich aus organisiert. Vielen Dank Moudy! Das Haus ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet in einem großzügigen Garten mit viel Schatten. Es liegt im Dorf und nicht in einem abgetrennten Ressort, aber die Menschen sind sehr freundlich und man fühlt sich sicher. Zum Strand sind es nur wenige Minuten. Es gibt zwar keine Klimaanlage, aber durch die offenen Fenster mit Moskitonetzen und die Ventilatoren, war es angenehm. Ein wunderschöner Ort, um Sansibar authentisch zu erleben!

Die schönste Unterkunft auf Sansibar, ausschließlich super nettes Personal, das Zimmer und der Pool waren perfekt sauber und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, die Lage ist unschlagbar. Wir würden jedem empfehlen, hier hin zu kommen und kehren auf jeden Fall zurück! ❤️

We really enjoyed our stay at Mireille’s. She kindly arranged for transport from the airport (highly recommended as otherwise we probably would not have been able to find it ourselves). The place has everything we needed for our getaway. The plunge pool was wonderful. The location was great—the beach was a short walk away and we were spoilt for choice with restaurants. We would def stay here again!

I had an incredible stay at this villa! The place was exactly as described—calm, private, and beautifully clean. The private pool was a highlight, perfect for relaxing in total peace. It felt like a true getaway, with everything you need for a comfortable and quiet retreat. I highly recommend this villa for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy some privacy.
