White Villa Ocean Views and Pool
The house was beautiful and modern (with fresh fruit on arrival), Rainer is readily available for any queries, Paolo was an incredible help and 15 minutes from the beach. However, this is in a rural part of Zanzibar but all in all our stay was fantastic in Rainer's home.

Villa Ginger by Heritage Retreat
Anne’s place was modern and clean. The staff was amazing and went over and beyond to accommodate us whether it came to booking tours/ excursions or something we randomly needed around the property. I would 100% recommend if you're looking for a balance between remote and relaxation but close enough to get to the main attractions of the island.

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!!

Sea Moon
Simone was a lovely host! Responded super quickly. Saïd picked us up from the airport and was always ready. Mtumwa poetse wonderful! Sparkling clean. Beds were wonderfully changed every 4 days. If electricity and water failures, there was a generator. Nice! Beach in front of the door not really clean, but a short walk and you have a nice beach. In the house an info folder with all kinds of tips for trips. You can ask the helpful Saïd as a driver, or someone else. Children from the neighborhood play in front of the door on the beach. We enjoyed it! Put your chair on the beach at 5.30 pm and look at the fishing boats that come back with their catch. The house has a lovely veranda with dining table and chairs, where you can have breakfast etc. We had a lovely stay of 4 weeks and thank Simone for the good communication! Tip: bring aea for the children. They are really poor.

Breezy Beachfront Loft in Stunning Villa with Pool
Thank you to Ina and her team for this warm welcome and their concern to take care of our well-being. It was a magnificent stay, so peaceful in this superb bay. I highly recommend

Seaside Reflexion: Entire Home with Private Pool
Banu was a wonderful host! The place is absolutely dreamy—perfectly located in Kiwengwa, about an hour from Stone Town. We loved how peaceful and quiet the area was, while still being close enough to drive to other spots in Zanzibar. The home is ideal for a trip with family or friends—spotlessly clean and fully equipped with all the amenities you could need. Banu went above and beyond by providing large quantities of bottled water and laundry detergent, and she was super responsive and helpful with any additional resources we needed. I would definitely come back—I'm already missing it!

Indian Ocean House
A slice paradise with private pool, right next to the beach, very secure and quiet and wonderful hosts (and dogs!). We had a fantastic time with the family. Thanks again & we would recommend staying here in a heartbeat.

Private beach Apartment " Moja " Ocean Front View

The staff are all very friendly and we had an amazing stay. Will come back for family holidays here and definitely recommend to anyone going to Zanzibar.
