The Tanzanite: Furnished 2 Bedroom Apartment
the apartment was clean with beautiful surroundings. Odette is super friendly and responded quick to any of my questions. it was worth the price, although we didn't have free wifi as the it shows that here, however, I would say that this apartment is even more beautiful than what is showing in the pictures here, the pictures doesn't do it justice. I stayed for 10 days and it felt like home. would definitely book the place again whenever I'm visiting Fumba again.

Welcome to 'Ilava Boma' flat at Paje beach!
Great communication with host, beautiful home close to a lot of restaurants, to the beach and friendly neighbourhood. House has a lovely view and was cosy me and the other girls defo recommend and enjoyed

Seaside Apartment in Fumba Beach
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.

Seaside Serenity: Pool, Beach & Breakfast
I recommend, it’s a very neat studio apartment in inside one of the best neighborhoods in Zanzibar

Sun Studio: Breakfast, Pool & Garden at Fumba Town

Stylish Functional Studio In Fumba Zanzibar
I had a great one-week stay here. The studio was just as shown in the photos—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with all the essentials including Wifi . Anything extra I needed was easy to find at the supermarket within. The infinity pool is a nice new addition, as it overlooks the ocean. I’d definitely recommend it for a relaxing stay.

2bed in Fumba with Pool, Seaview & Breakfast
Moza was great communicated well and provided a great place to stay. The location has a lot of stuff within walking distance so it was very convenient and safe.

Meliks beach apartment
We really enjoyed our stay. Big windows letting in loads of light and right on top of the beach with the extra added bonus of being able to use the hotel facilities attached to the property, as its part of the hotel complex. Alex, the liason was very helpful and friendly. There are only two things I would mention that I personally believe would improve this Air BnB and they are - 1 - A TV for those chill nights in. 2 - A Microwave. Other than that, it was a very pleasant stay and I highly recommend it.

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 Heidi at beach with pool - Zanzibar
what a lovely place with lovely hosts and caretakers would definitely recommend Villa heidi to anyone and will definitely be returning

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!

Maracuja villa Zanzibar
Jerome was a great host, very responsive and proactive he accommodated all our needs. The house is magical, located in a local villa, is very private and one minute walking from a beautiful beach and some hotels where you can spend the day or have a nice meal. Also ver spacious the house can accommodated numerous people comfortable. We loved the pool where you can hang out listening to the birds. We will definitely come back.

Idyllic Beach House
Our group of 5 was comfortably accommodated and spent so much time in the beautiful open treehouse upstairs. Even during the rain we were kept nice and dry upstairs. We enjoyed the food made by the private chef and all the staff were very accommodating and responsive! Visits from the dogs on the property were such a lovely addition. We felt very at home and would love to come back sometime, especially during another season when the swimming is better. Bonus - the sunsets from the gazebo around the corner from the beach were spectacular. Make sure you take advantage of the beautiful grounds and walks around the area!

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.

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

Villa Makuti: Private Chef and Boat Trip Options
For 2 days we felt like in a dream :)) The huge and very well kept garden around Villa Makuti is amazing. We loved the many different spots to sit or lay down and enjoy the beautiful views... To order a private cook was very comfortable and Omar was a very nice and good driver. Thanx for this wonderful experience!!!

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!

Uroa Escape | Zanzibar Beachfront | Wi-Fi |King BD
The villa was absolutely beautiful. It looks much bigger in real life than in the pictures. It’s right next to the beach, making it easy to go for long walks along the shore. There are also many local restaurants nearby. I want to thank Grace ❤️ and the security gentleman for their help and kindness—they truly made my stay special!
