Sabali Lodge, Zanzibar

Jambiani Beach, Jambiani

Featuring a swimming pool, a garden, a terrace and views of the city, Sabali Lodge, Zanzibar is set in Jambiani and offers accommodation with free WiFi.

Jambiani Beach is 400 metres from the lodge, while Jozani Forest is 26 km away. My friends and I had a wonderful time at Sabali. First we stayed in another accommodation next to the beach which we didn't like that much but then we found Sabali. Very safe. Great rooms with AC and nice bathroom. Lots of sockets. Nice kitchen with big fridge. Wonderful pool right in front of my room. Beautiful garden. Quiet surroundings. Very relaxed and peaceful. On the upper floor you can find lots of space to relax but also to work remotely with a nice view over the village. 5min walk to the beach Most amazing team and puppy Marley. Great communication with the owner Tomas. Special thanks to Saleh who was always there to help me with anything. We became friends :) I will definitely come back to this wonderful place. Thank you
