Ocean View Apartment in Fumba Town
Hashim’s place in Fumba Town is a true sanctuary. Clean, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed — perfect for rest, reflection, or remote work. The space is modern, airy, and filled with natural light, with a balcony that feels like a private retreat. Fumba itself is calm, secure, and beautifully laid out — ideal if you want a break from the tourist buzz. What really sets this stay apart is Hashim himself: kind, respectful, and incredibly helpful without ever being intrusive. He genuinely wants you to feel at home, and it shows. Whether you’re creating, healing, or just needing a safe, quiet space — this is it. I left feeling more grounded and clear than when I arrived. Highly recommend and would definitely return.

Private Beach Villa Ocean view pool 4 Rooms 12 PAX
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.

Villa Retreat
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!

The Zanzibar Beach House-South
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! 🇹🇿

I love you House
Nakudenda House is a nice, spacious house in the heart of Jambiani village. The beach is just a stone's throw away. Lots of nice restaurants around. The house offers comfortable, large bedrooms. It's nicely decorated and has all you need to enjoy wonderful Jambiani. Eta and Romain are very nice hosts, very proactive and try to solve any problems as quickly as possible. Communicating with them was very easy and they go out of their way to make your stay a nice one.

Beautiful Villa at 2 minutes from the Beach
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.

Zali Aerie- Beach Villa with Pool and Ocean View
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.

A stylish, comfortable home with views galore
This beautiful apartment is brand new. Immaculate and very comfortable . It’s a cosy apartment with breathtaking views . We loved our stay here . Traditional yet modern style blends in this livable family home. Fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances , all the amenities were perfect! I like the way the host created a beautiful setting every detail mattered . Every room is so livable and that’s what I love the most . We were planning to stay one month but ended up staying longer. Riziki is the most thoughtful gracious host who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable . Exceptional Hospitality.

Bora Pamoja Studio's - Poolview & Solar Backup
I had the most amazing time at Bora Pamoja Studios in Jambiani! The place looks exactly as the photos!

Popo House, an eco beach house, quiet, private
I stayed there with two friends. The reception was very well arranged, Jo is a wonderful hostess, who was always there for us. Also very nice that all sorts of things were present such as herbs, oil etc. But the most beautiful thing was really the location. Not normally beautiful, loved it!! Cottage was also very cute and cozy and clean! I would recommend to anyone

Villa Zuhura in Zanzibar
Cynthia's home was perfect for our family. Home was exactly as what was in the picture. Upstairs area of home was open, bright, and welcoming. Ester rhe housekeeper was very accommodating, what ever we needed, she would make it happen. The clear glistening pool was my getaway spot. The home was in a quiet area, but only a few minutes from shopping, this was the perfect location for us. I would definitely recommend this home.

Paje Beach Apartments -1 Bedroom Seaview Apartment
OUTSTANDING. We have been living in Tanzania for 3 months in Dar Es Salaam before coming to Paje Beach Apartments, so we are already acclimated to the country. This place far exceeded our expectations on every level. Lynette at the front desk and the entire staff made this place the most amazing place to stay ever. Seriously. Tanzania can be hit and miss when it comes to AirBnB accommodations, but this place stands out in every single category, especially cleanliness and overall value. I would , however, encourage you to walk the beach to look for food options after eating at Abel's place because the food gets even better as you begin to explore the beachfront. This is one of the few places in Tanzania where I would say the pictures don't even do it justice. It's more beautiful in person. They have only like 6 apartments and then a few single rooms, so the entire place is not that big and you get very personal treatment, at least we did. And the STAFF are AMAZING. So super responsive. Very warm and friendly. Our 5 year old made so many friends with the staff here and they are very professional. Can't say enough good things about it. We will be back.

Olamanga Sea - Room with private kitchen and bath
We stayed six nights and had a wonderful time. The place is quiet, it’s like a little oasis. Raluca and Lee are very good hosts! The breakfast that we enjoyed every morning was by far the best we had and also the curry was absolutely delicious. We can definitely recommend staying with them.

Naravan Villas - Kendnguni Villas-1 bed apartment with swimming pool
"We had an amazing holiday stay at Elisa eco-friendly villa , i am impressed how beautiful and creative her garden is( everythings in the garden is eatable ) The host was very accommodating and made sure our stay were comfortable. The villa is beautifully designed and environmentally conscious, which made me feel good about my stay. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a unique and sustainable experience." We also enjoy our kite surfing session with Emm, our professional instructor and very recommended coconut kitesurfing as they are friendly-professional kite surf school( thank to shasha and Eline for keep our session fun.

Villa Juliana 1-Jambiani beach
Amazing, quiet and beautifull place that is even better than the photos. Friendly and responsive staff and good and well priced food. Really nice pool which we used a lot do to the heat, as the Ocean is really warm. 28-29 cel in feb. We loved the quiet surroundings in the villa and really at home. The Local community just outside the door was amazing to interact with and the Move Zanzibar community center just 250 m from the villa is a must. Seing the fishernan come in with the tides and all food they harvest in the Ocean is just outside the door. Just go there🤩especially if you like place that is away from the massive tourist crowds up north near Nungwi Biggest recommandations from us. 6 people (16-49) from Denmark and we the entire villa1. We were there in feb 2025. Thomas

Villa Amaya, (7 rms incl rooftop) 1 min to beach

the coco paradise - maua cozy beach apartment
This AirBnB is located within Villa de Coco in Jambiani. It was the perfect place for my family and I and we are already looking at dates for when we can return. We couldn't have asked for a better experience on Zanzibar!

Kite & Surf Villa Paje (Kite & Surf Villa Paje)
In January we visited Zanzibar (I had stayed in various beautiful accommodations for the 4th time). The Airborne Kite and Surf Villa is a real gem located in a beautiful garden/small jungle. We immediately felt welcome and at home. Everything we needed for cooking was there. Shopping is plentiful and the beach is a few minutes away. Jan's team was always kind and helpful. When we sat on the terrace, we often felt like we were in the zoo. There are 4 cuddly cats who visited us daily (sometimes 2 more people wanted to go😊),a guinea pig,a mouse (who repeatedly managed to escape the cats),a lizard (who liked to sunbathe on the stones at noon),Bushbabys (which we unfortunately only heard),various bird species,cicadas... We recovered wonderfully and enjoyed the time there. From us 10 ⭐️ 👍 Anna and Ines

Kome apartment one
Very responsive to any requests. I would only say for two people place can feel crowded very nice attitude

Bahari View
Amazing beachfront apartment with beautiful views, AC and wifi! Andre and Jordana’s home is right on the beach so we enjoyed sunrise walks and the sounds of the ocean waves at night. The apartment is really comfortable and has hot water for the shower! We felt at home and taken care of during the week that we spent here. Will definitely stay here again in the future!

Villa Nali in Jambiani

SHIRA - Two Bed 85m2 Apartment - Deluxe Zanzibar
It was nice and beautiful place i and my colleagues really enjoyed staying there. I specifically loved the short walking distance to the ocean.

Wamasaa Garden
Very pleasant stay, comfortable house, large rooms with fan and air conditioning for one of them, great sheltered terrace and beautiful garden Reassuring presence of the caretaker for 2 single women, communication not always easy but possible to go through the host who is very responsive Surprises by the first random power outage in the neighborhood, but then we get used to it and it's part of the local life and we adapt Real proximity to the beach and restaurant bars in the village Beautiful beaches and lagoon, friendly little village with a welcoming population Taxis available for excursions and groceries as needed We are delighted with our stay at Waziri's and ready to come back as soon as we can!

Brand new flat 40 m from beach
A perfect place to stay in Jambiani, right next to the beach and has everything you need! Thank you to the host for helping out with any questions during our stay!
