Jambiani Villas is located in Jambiani on three properties 400 m away from each other: Kaskazi, Katikati and Kusini. All properties are situated right on the beach and offer outdoor pools and free WiFi.

The Villa is family friendly, clean and neat , having almost an entire kitchen is amazing..can accommodate all family needs perfectly. The entire hotel staff are super helpful and very easy to communicate with. A very relaxed place as they say in zanzibar "pole pole". Would highly recommend to families with kids for a short stay, has excellent swimming pool also..

Comprising pool with a view and a garden, Villa Kikadini is a recently renovated accommodation in Jambiani located close to Jambiani Beach. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is allergy-free and is situated 26 km from Jozani Forest.

We liked everything! Assante Sana! It was my first time in Africa/Tansania and I was a bit nervous at first how the property will be but the moment we arrived we all felt simply wonderful in this villa, decorated with lots of love. The Pool was the Best of All! We enjoyed our chit chats at sunsets or the first morning plunge before we had coffee at the specialis terrasse. The staff welcomed us with so much kindness! I felt a bit like in Bali, Indonesia where I used to live in a similar house. Make sure you are aware of electricity issues of the country. The extremely nice, friendly and easy to communicate owner Klaudia got all under control :)

Located in Jambiani, Jambo Jambiani Beach Villa, Beautiful private villa at 2 minutes from the Beach provides accommodation with private pool, free WiFi and free private parking for guests who drive. The property was built in 2018 and features air-conditioned accommodation with a patio. The property is non-smoking and is set 100 metres from Jambiani Beach.

Absolutely loved everything about this property. The location was perfect and it was super clean. Situated in a village, the locals were friendly and we felt very safe. The pool was kept clean every day and it was completely private. Raphael was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Although he wasn't there in person, he was always available on the phone to deal with any queries that we had. He also arranged some cash for me as there wasn't an ATM nearby. We did our own cooking for one meal, and needed coriander which wasn't available at the local shops. Raphael instantly arranged some to be delivered to me. The caretaker Issa lived at nearby with his wife and baby. Although he didn't speak English, we managed to converse via Google translate. He was very lovely and always readily available for any errands that we needed. Raphael arranged a driver to pick us up free of charge from Matemwe. He also allowed us to have a late check out as we wanted to observe the Friday prayers which was a little bit later in the afternoon after scheduled check out time. I would definately recommend this villa to anyone wanting to experience privacy, central location, friendly neighbourhood, and a good beach

Set in Jambiani, near Jambiani Beach and Paje Beach, Villa Sunshine House ZANZIBAR is a recently renovated property, featuring, a private beach area and free bikes. This villa offers air-conditioned accommodation with a patio. Offering free WiFi throughout the property, the allergy-free villa features spa facilities.

I absolutely love this location, it is perfect, at high tide the stairs, leading to the beach from the property are covered in water, at low tide, you have super soft sand to walk to the sea which is just a few metres away. Great swimming location. And everything that you need is in the apartment including an ice cold fridge. If you don’t feel like cooking , there is a restaurant next door with good value food and drinks. There are many other restaurants further on the beach if you feel like walking 15 minutes on the beach, including a very nice pizza place. All in all, I would highly recommend staying here and would stay here for the whole Zanzibar time and make this my base in the future. If it’s still available, just book it

    Cozy and quiet place which is run by a lovely family. Nice breakfast, good location. Very very friendly staff and the food from the own restaurant is a must! :-) There is also a watchman at night and hot shower, what i definitely like. I've stayed in the cozy bungalow but for some personal reasons I asked to change the room. Bianca, the owner, was super friendly and helpful, so I was able to change into another room uncomplicated. All in all a pleasant stay ! I'll come back

    We fell in love with Kimte Beach Lodge and the staff :) it’s organized by some great guys from the area. Everyone was so nice, welcoming and helpful. It was the perfect place to start our journey in Zanzibar. You have a great view on the ocean with cozy loungers, a cool bar and it’s really quiet and not so touristic. They helped organizing dolphin tours and everything we needed. Nearby we rented some bikes and drove to Paje, which was also great. Go there!! ;) We were so sad to leave !!!

    We loved everything (location, service, atmosphere...). Driftwood Beach Lodge is a little piece of paradise and we had an amazing time thanks to Kerry, Brady and the wonderful Driftwood team. The room was nice, the food simple but good and the place generally speaking is very well maintained. During low tides, after an amazing walk on the beach of Jambiani, you can enjoy the pool which has an incredible view. We really felt at home in this small cosy relaxing lodge. It was hard to leave!
