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

Zen-Zanzibar Beach Front Villa
Das Haus war super. Wir hatten alles was wir brauchten und konnten zu Fuß am Strand entlang Restaurants besuchen. Die Leute sind unglaublich herzlich. Die Haushälter/innen Majuma, Aysa und Ben waren die aller besten und liebsten. Sie waren unglaublich lieb und hilfsbereit. haben uns täglich ein super leckeres Frühstück und Abendessen zubereitet. Die beiden Tourguides Solomon und Rahmadan haben uns unvergessliche Trips gebucht, alles was wir uns vorgestellt haben wurde ohne Probleme möglich gemacht. Sie standen uns immer zur Seite und haben uns auch einen Fahrservice anbieten. Wir haben alle richtig doll ins Herz geschlossen. Alles in allem lief alles perfekt und reibungslos. Die Villa können wir zu 100% weiterempfehlen.

Mchaichai Villa- Private Villa with pool
Wir kamen an und fühlten uns bei Corol sofort wie zu Hause. Alles war so wie beschrieben. Wir wurden herzlichst mit einen Obstkorb von Corol und Ihren Mitarbeitern begrüßt. Das Personal war sehr hilfreich wenn es zu Rückfragen kam. Carol kann man sich vorstellen wie eine große oder kleine Schwester, beste Freundin und liebevolle Mutter. Das rundherum Wohlfühlpaket. Wer sich bei Corol nicht wohlfühlt, der soll Urlaub auf einen anderen Stern machen. Alles ist mit viel Liebe ausgestattet. Danke Carol für die unvergesslichen Momente auf Zanzibar. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Villa Mina Boma Nr2 private Suits seafront/Terrace
We rented a two floor apartment at Villa Mina for a month. It was spacious and had all we needed for a comfortable stay. The views from both balconies were spectacular. There were loungers and beds to use which gave a little extra privacy from the beach sellers. Lots of choice of nearby restaurants. Breakfasts were excellent with coffee and freshly made fruit juice, fruit, eggs to order and a variety of pastries and breads. There is a swimming pool that can be used about a 5-minute walk away, which my girls enjoyed. Mina and everyone there are very friendly and will help with anything you ask. They made us very welcome. It felt like a home-from-home, only with a spectacular beach in front. We would love to return and hopefully will!

SIMBA APARTMENT HOTEL AND RESTAURANT
Simba und sein gesamtes Team haben sich zu jeder Zeit um einen gekümmert, egal ob es mitten in der Nacht war oder ganz in der Früh. Die Unterkunft hat mit die beste Lage auf Zanzibar, da man sich ganz entspannt am nahegelegenen Strand Sonnen kann oder doch abends mal zum ausgehen in die nächste Stadt fahren kann. Die Unterkunft bietet alles was man braucht. Das Essen ist super. Simba sorgt sich nicht nur um seine Gäste sondert hilft seinen Mitarbeitern bei jedem Anlass, das kriegt man nicht überall. Wir freuen uns solche herzlichen Menschen kennenden zu dürfen.

Villa Forodhani: A charming ocean front palazzo
What an amazing property in a wonderful location. It must be the most beautifully restored house in Stonetown. Sitting on the roof terrace watching the sun go down and observing the life around the waterfront doesn’t get any better. It was very comfortable, well equipped and nice to have the support of the housekeeper and watchman. It was steps away from the stone town and its maze of narrow lanes, shops, restaurants and bars. This really is a unique property.

Zanzibar east coast beachfront family villa
Me and 7 other friends stayed here for 1 week and had a great time. We were a bit skeptical about not having a swimming pool, but a 1 minute walk by the beach and you can find Bahari which is great for food and The Loop which is great for swimming in pool (its free). We made an agreement to when the maids were supposed to clean wich was also great for those who like to sleep long. We had some difficulty finding the villa since we used our own driver, so I would recommend using the villas driver or set your google maps to Bahari Pizza Resturant to get there safely with your own driver. Overall the stay was great with a 10 minute drive to Paje city center, and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay in Zanzibar:)

Coco Rise Villas I - by Hostly
Wir (2 Erwachsende und 2 Kinder) waren im April für eine Woche in der CoCo Rise Villa und haben dort eine traumhaft schöne Zeit genossen. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich den hervorragenden Kochservice zum Frühstück und zum Abendessen, wir denken gerne an die Zeit zurück und freuen uns alle wiederzusehen. Der Service im und rund ums Haus ist grossartig. Auch die über unsere Kontaktpersonen gebuchten Taxifahrer und der Kapitän, der mit uns auf den Ozean gefahren ist - wir waren tatsächlich mit Delphinen schwimmen - waren wunderbar, alles hat wie verabredet funktioniert und es war reibungslos! Es war ein Urlaub, der den Namen Traumurlaub verdient hat und der unsere Erwartungen übererfüllt hat. Wir kommen sehr sehr gerne wieder und freuen uns auf die freundlichen Menschen in Zanzibar, an die wir immer gerne zurückdenken! Tausend Dank an euch alle!

Tropical Beach Property: Quite Private Beach Villa
Ina et Msuli sont des hôtes très agréables, prévenants et disponibles pour faciliter le séjour. Toujours de bon conseil, ils nous ont aidé à organiser nos activités en nous proposant des personnes de confiance, notamment lorsque l'un de nous a été malade. La maison est agréable et les personnes employées sont charmantes, toujours prêtes à rendre service. Un excellent séjour !

Ocean view Nakupenda Villa,with pool
We had a wonderful time, the house is beautiful and Bakari and Vicki were on hand to help with anything. The house was very clean and Vicki did a great job leaving us lovely bed art. Would love to visit and stay again.

Dosonały stosunek jakości do ceny.

Beach Solymar Villa 1
INCREDIBLE stay!!! One of the best Airbnbs I’ve visited. The home and grounds are even more beautiful than in the pictures. The hosts Abdul & Ramadhani are so responsive and very helpful organizing local rides, tours, airport transfer, etc. Food was delicious and much enjoyed. We will certainly stay again if we find ourselves back in Zanzibar!

Kena Beach Villas
We had the most incredible stay at this stunning property! The location is absolutely perfect—secluded and tranquil, making it an ideal retreat for our group of 8. The surroundings offered peace and serenity, far away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The accommodation was outstanding—spacious, beautifully designed and comfortable. Every corner of the property was thoughtfully curated making it feel like a true home away from home. What truly made our experience unforgettable, however, was the wonderful staff. Led by Yusuf, they went above and beyond to accommodate every request. We hired the private chef, Suleiman, and he delivered the most outstanding meals we could ask for. The staff even arranged kayaking experiences for us which was an absolute highlight. We couldn't have asked for a better team, who were so accommodating, friendly and professional throughout our stay. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a peaceful, serene escape. You won’t regret it!

Mikoko Villa
If you’re looking for a place that combines tranquility, art, and warm hospitality while keeping you close to the action, this is it. This is the one & I’ll definitely be back special thanks to the staff here. they are incredibly friendly, informative, and always eager to help, making the stay even more special. Chef Ahmed’s food is nothing short of mouthwatering.

Villa Jasmine - Beach Front
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!

private villa with private pool and beach
Nous sommes restés 15 jours et tout était parfait! Cet endroit est magnifique, les extérieurs sont exceptionnels avec ce jardin de sable blanc, des palmiers de plus de 10 mètres, une piscine idéalement située à mi chemin entre la maison et la mer avec sa plage privée... L'accueil et la disponibilité de Niccolo et de ses équipes ainsi que leurs conseils nous on rendu le séjour très agréable. Nous avons passé 2 semaines au paradis!
Villa rentals with a pool

SandBank View Villa - Private Pool ZanzibarHouses
This was by far the best place we stayed at, which was agreed upon by a group of 6 guests. Check-in was very flexible and the place looked even better than described on the site. The place was cleaned daily and Co host Bakari was very attentive by coming daily to check on us. The surrounding areas were amazing and great food was all around the place. There was nothing that fell short. Overlooking the beach with bbq amenities on the roof top that offered great views all around. This place was phenomenal. Five stars in our view.

We call it home - Kiwengwa Villa
Sure! How about this: “I had a fantastic experience at your property. Everything was just right, and I felt so at home. Thank you for being such a wonderful host!” Does that work for you?

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.

Magic Beach Villa
Our 2 families (10 persons) had a great time and stay in this house over Christmas. This house doesn't have any AC but the fans do a pretty good job. Nice deep pool which was of great use as the tide and seaweed has big influence on the beach just outside . Along the shore there are couple of cozy restaurants. Be caution and aware of palm trees with coconuts that can fall down from the neighbor plots. Housekeeper Hidaya was great and so friendly, she helped with cleaning and cooking.

ST Beach Villa
If I find myself in Zanzibar again, I would definitely stay here. The entire management staff was great. Breakfast in the morning was good. I loved it here

Tamani Villas (5-bedroom villa)
Overall, this place was fantastic. It’s a traditional Zanzibar design so it’s not a modern place, but exactly what we wanted. We were thrilled to be there with our large group of two families, including 5 children. Rasheed was excellent and accommodated all of our requests. Food, especially breakfast, was delicious. The beach outside the villa is pristine, with white sand beaches and a beautiful Indian Ocean right outside the doorstep. The private pool was incredible. The villa rental subsidizes the Tamani Foundation and its students, so staying here contributes to the education of local kids. Win win.

Villa with private swimming pool next to beach
Amazing on all levels. Warmly recommended and I will stay here next time I’m in Zanzibar 🙏

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.
