Suite with Terrace - Gaia Villas
My wife and I had an absolutely amazing time at Gaia for our honeymoon. We were welcomed by her incredible staff and they even set up beautiful swan towels and roses on the bed for us. The villa was beautiful and very private. And I can’t stress enough how amazing all of the staff were. Breakfast was delicious as well and the host was so responsive to us with recommendations. We stayed at a much larger (and more expensive) resort in Zanzibar before this and we thought Gaia was so much more enjoyable. Very close to the beach as well. Highly recommend!

CASA CARLOTTA VILLA
It is a very nice house with a nice garden and a small courtyard half-outdoor which is great for relaxation, the room is also very comfortable and tidy.The location of the house is easy to find and about a 10 minute walk to the sea.The host is a very friendly person who was very attentive to solving the problem for us and was very responsive.Would recommend staying with friends who came here for holiday.

Terry's Villa Nungwi.
Our stay at Terry’s Apartment was fantastic, thanks to the wonderful hosts, Benny and Daniel. From the start, their friendly and attentive service made me feel welcome. The apartment itself was spotless and stylish, with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches that made it feel like a home away from home. Benny and Daniel were always available for any inquiries and provided excellent local tips that enhanced my experience. Their warm hospitality and expert recommendations truly stood out. I highly recommend Terry’s Apartment for anyone looking for a delightful and hassle-free visit. Thank you, Benny and Daniel, for your exceptional service. I look forward to visiting again!

8-minutes walk to the Beach| Room with pool view

Passion-House - Entire second floor with WLAN
We spent almost a month in this house. The room is great, the place is quiet and everything is green. There were very tasty and varied breakfasts. The room was always clean, bed linen and towels were changed regularly. Special thanks to Mudi for this! When the electricity was out on the island, this house always had electricity and Wi-Fi, which made remote work comfortable at any time. I would like to separately mention the owners Simona, Musa and their wonderful daughter Jamilla :) Wonderful people with whom it is interesting to communicate, from the first minutes it became clear that these people treat their guests very warmly and love to host people. We will definitely come to Simona and her family to visit again!

Smiles Beach Hotel
Right on the beach with a pool warmer than most showers. Close enough to all other restaurants and points of interest. The don’t serve alcohol which is fairly common in the area, but you only have to walk 100m to find a cold one. Breakfast is typical African/Indian breakfast. Don’t expect an English style.
