A real treat for waking outdoors and taste buds. Thank you again for everything. Have your eyes closed!

Vintage Apartment
Perfect location for easy reach to different parts of the island. Lovely, peaceful neighbourhood. Large and well equipped kitchen. We experienced few power cuts and constantly weak water pressure which we were told is a general problem all over the island.

Basilica Beach House
Beautiful and large house, garden, and beach. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly, in-house chef made delicious food, the beach was basically private and the owners communicated well with us. The location is fairly remote but even without our own transport, we were able to take a taxi to diani without a problem. The beach itself is fairly shallow so massive swims are not really an option but snorkeling works and it is still very beautiful. Would come here again any day. Thank you team!

wake up to sea views fresh 2 bedroom 4- 5 ppl WiFi
I enjoyed Los Abrigos, its not too over commercialised, with a little harbour for local fishing boats. Close to a very pleasant "village square" and a number of local restaurants. A nice coastal walk to the West. A lovely soft black sand beach 2/3 miles to the East at Playa de la Tejita. Generally a nice base.

Island Beach Resort packed with activities
Beautiful island, nice cosy place to stay, and Greg was a great host, who went out of his way to make sure we enjoy our time there! Thank you again!

Botanica Living | Magnolia Apt
We stayed at Cristina’s place for a week and had an absolutely wonderful time. The ocean views are stunning, and the flowers and plants throughout the property added to the calm atmosphere. After long days of hiking, the pool and hot tub were the perfect way to unwind. The room was thoughtfully equipped with everything we could possibly need—comfortable, clean, and full of small touches that made us feel right at home. Cristina was very responsive and kind throughout our stay. She and her family have created something truly special here—a peaceful retreat that feels both welcoming and unique. We’re already looking forward to our next visit and couldn’t recommend this place more highly!

Peponi Palace.
Fantastic location as a base for exploring the area. Perfect for our family group with every bedroom having an ensuite and several communal areas to relax. We really appreciated the fenced pool for safety with toddlers.

Penelope was a great host and always was ready to answer any questions we had. The breakfast every morning was tasty and refreshing. The pool water was very nice and the room's views were unbeatable. 100% recommend booking here.

Chole Art1 - Mafia Island
We stayed in Chole Sana for two days. We were greeted by Rajab the owner's brother who was a very nice host. The accommodation overlooks the bay of Chole and the place is very quiet. No worries about electricity. Rajab was very available, showed us around the village and even offered various activities (visit ruins on the island of Juani, lunch on a sand bank...). The diving clubs in the city of Utende that are on Mafia can even pick you up directly on Chole and take you back there. We loved our stay, you can go there without hesitation to enjoy this haven of peace.

Wonderful stay at Ann-Sol and Loïc's house which exceeded all our expectations! A real paradise.
