Baobab V2 Villa apartment(140m2)
After 2 weeks of volunteering, this accommodation was great to come down and relax. The location was really great and Barbara was always on hand to help with recommendations, a bajaji etc. needed. It was a great end to our time in Zanzibar. Highly recommended!

Villa Heidi at beach with pool - Zanzibar
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.

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.

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!

Mbuyuni - Baobab treehouse with ocean views
This place is outstanding for a unique setting with lots of privacy in nature. As would be expected for such a remote setting, accessibility can be challenging. You need to follow numerous turns on unmarked small, paths. Using their provided guide from the ferry or airstrip is advisable. It is truly off road for a few kms, tight for a car and slippery and messy in rainy season for a motorcycle. If you can work with the accessibility challenge, we highly recommend the place.

Paradies Garden Best spot at the beach! OutsideBed
Thank you for the beautiful stay

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

Villa Jasmine - Beach Front Private Pool
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!

Raha Love Gorgeous 1B Garden apartment FumbaTown
We had a lovely stay. Check in and out were seamless, and the area was peaceful. It was the perfect distance from Stonetown, and it had all the amenities we needed. We had a few questions regarding the apartment and appliances. The team was very responsive and resolved the inquiries we had in a timely fashion. Thank you for everything!

Villa Lala – Full Privacy Boutique Beach House
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

ST Beach Villa
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.

Peponi Palace.
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!

Magnolia Villa ,Beachfront Villa -Matemwe Zanzibar
Aiasha and Kiki’s place was situated in the most beautiful location! Literally right on the white sandy beach — perfect for swimming in the ocean and breathtaking view of a picture perfect beach. The pool was lovely and our kids could have lived in it. The staff were friendly and helpful. We would come again!!

Beautiful home in a beautiful area! Staff was all very friendly and easy to communicate with. Very much appreciated the security guard on the beach in front of the house to make our experience more peaceful as well!

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 Private Villa with Private Beach
I had a fantastic stay! The place was spotless, cozy, and exactly as described. The location was super convenient, and the little touches made it feel like home. Communication with the host was smooth and easy—very friendly and responsive. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thanks again for a great experience!

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

KITAMBONE HOUSE. A window to the ocean
Micaela’s house is beautiful facing a stunning beach. Chinga welcomed us and let us in earlier than expected, which was a huge relief. He was incredibly responsive and helpful - always popped round when we needed him. Asante Chinga! Halima cooked us a lovely breakfast. We also had a great massage. We enjoyed the Yoga Bar, Imani Beach Hotel breakfast and a couple of good dinners at Zan View. The house is stylish, the sand garden delightful and through the tiny gate you are already on the beautiful beach. Definitely recommend!

Deluxe Beachfront Penthouse - Stunning Ocean Views
The staff was the best part of the stay. They were amazing, especially Dan. The property is next to the beach and in the middle of a village. Seeing the African culture and way of living mixed with paradisiac views…was riveting. Several descent restaurants in the area as well. Will definitely book again.

Coco Rise Villas II - by Hostly
Highly recommend! The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful, the staff onsite is attentive and kind. The home is spacious, simply and beautifully decorated, and located directly on the beach. The location is quiet and private. A quick walk to a few close by restaurants and a short drive to Paje village. The pool was great! Would definitely stay again
