Private Ocean House with Pool

MaxRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Beautiful, private, quiet. The perfect place to unplug and forget about everyday life for a while. There is plenty of space to freely unfold, whether you are into training and yoga, or would rather lie by the pool in either sun or shade. Beautiful views and complete garden.

Idyllic Beach House

MaciejRating, 5 stars2 months ago

This place is a true gem. Hidden away, it's not the typical Zanzibar tourist spot. In fact, we were the only non-local people in the whole neighbourhood. It felt amazing to shop in the local village micro-shop, get fresh fish and calamari straight from the fish market, enjoy the private beach. If you feel like disconnecting, winding down and relaxing to the fullest - this is your place. And then, when you feel like exploring anything Zanzibar has to offer - you have all the options. Ali, the manager, is gonna be your guide, driver, and will arrange anything you please. We went to Stone Town, to Paje, to one of the spice farms, to the Jozani Forrest, to see the turtles, to go kayaking, spent a day on a boat trip (saw dolphins, went snorkelling, visited the famous sand bank, had lobster and fish on a private island). Ali even arrange for Omar, a private chef, to cook for us one evening. We hope to visit again one day. I highly recommend Nick's place! You will not be disappointed!

Villa Meravigliosa a Zanzibar

DavidRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Our stay in Uroa was wonderful. Emanuele put us in touch with his property manager who helped us with everything from airport transfers, setting up tours and even getting some medicine when some of our family came down with the flu. Uroa is a little bit remote in terms of amenities but that is what we were looking for. There are a few local restaurants within walking distance on the beach but not much more than that. We enjoyed walking the beach every day, swimming and wading out to the sand bar at low tide. There are also people/companies on the beach if you want to setup snorkeling tours or watersports. The caretaker and the housekeeper do a wonderful job keeping up the property and the housekeeper even made a few meals for us with the groceries we bought in Stonetown! The house was beautiful and in good repair. Beds were good and the pool was great to relax in. Overall, it was a very relaxing stay, just what we needed at the end of our trip to Tanzania!

A spacious living room is presented with modern decor, featuring comfortable leather seating arranged around a glass coffee table. Large windows adorned with elegant curtains allow natural light to fill the space, highlighting the polished tile flooring and minimalist entertainment unit.

Tropical 4BR/4BA*Near Beach*1 Hr to National Park!

KyleRating, 5 stars10 months ago

Veronica was very kind. She welcomed our family into her home. We wanted a place close to the airport so fly out the next day. Driving into the neighborhood, we started to get a little worried. It's a few minutes down a dirt road. She was able to give our driver precise directions. Once we got behind the secured gate, we were amazed by the property. We hung up our wet beach clothes outside on the spacious patio and clothesline. The kitchen had all the amenities. A separate dining area, a sitting area with 3 couches and TV, 3 bedrooms(2 with en suite bathrooms then a 3rd bathroom). AC in every room which was a bonus for us coming from not having any for 3 days in Nungwi. Hot water in the baths/showers. I slept on the couch comfortably whilst others enjoyed their private rooms/beds. In the neighborhood, I felt safe enough to walk 10 min to a fruit stand and small grocery to make breakfast. The kids in the area were so sweet. We gave them treats and they were grateful!Thank you!

An open-air patio is framed by tall palm trees, providing a shaded relaxation area. Natural wooden furniture, including two chairs and a low table, is arranged on a stone pathway that leads through a well-maintained garden, bordered by a white wall.

AhlamRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Our stay here was amazing, honestly beyond our expectations! The host was incredibly welcoming and even surprised us with food and tea when we arrived, which was very thoughtful. We arranged an airport pickup through them, which made everything so easy from the start. The place was perfect for our family with kids, spacious, clean, comfortable, and in a great location. We ended up extending our stay because we loved it so much, and the host made it completely hassle-free with quick and smooth communication. Staying here made our trip to Zanzibar so much better. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a stress free and memorable stay!

A private swimming pool is surrounded by an array of potted plants, creating a serene atmosphere. Wall art featuring a tropical theme adds character, while a shaded area above provides a comfortable spot for relaxation.

Najma's villa - Luxurious House

JohnRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Great stay at Najmas house! Great location to visit all the historical tourists sites located in stone town. We stayed with two children and Najmas was the best choice, the pool and pool table were a massive hit, and was used every day. Nothing was too much to ask of Najma, she was lovely and welcoming and very helpful in organising our transfers from the airport with her driver. The house was spotless, equipped with all cooking utensils, towels, washing machine and most of all amazing aircon that was much appreciated as it was very hot. The location felt very safe and as a family we did not feel worried about walking around the back lanes of stone town, despite reading some online reviews that warned of muggers and pickpockets. We would highly recommend visiting Najmas house, it so cosy and close to everything we wanted to do and see. Thank you for a great stay!!

Stone Town View Luxury Villa

NafisaRating, 5 stars3 months ago

We absolutely loved our weekend at David's place! It may hands down be our favourite spot in Zanzibar, where you are surrounded by a tropical jungle with a beautiful view of the ocean. The swimming pool was incredible. My husband and I, together with our kids had a great time! The chef, Ezekiel, and all of the supporting staff were amazing as well. They gave us just enough privacy but were somehow still there when we needed services. We rented the villa for my husband's birthday and so on day 1 we invited a few friends over. David and his team went above and beyond to make sure that our guests were well taken care of also.

Afra luxury Villa in Zanzibar

ArthurRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Yolanda is an amazing hostess. My travel companions and I were in a bind because we had issues with our other lodging reservations. Yolanda was able to accommodate our group last minute in her home and made sure we were all comfortable. Her home is beautifully decorated, equipped with everything you could need, the pool and backyard is beautiful, the water is hot and the ac works great. She is also located right in between Blue Safari and Stone Town which was very convenient for the activities we were looking to do without long transits. There are also restaurants and a grocery store within 5 min walking distance. Lastly her cleaning and managing team is very responsive and helpful as well. In short, Yolanda's home is one of the best airbnb's I've ever stayed in and she's one of the best hostess' I've ever had the pleasure of meeting with. I would recommend her and her place to anyone who is considering booking with her.

A sparkling pool occupies the center of the outdoor space, surrounded by neatly paved tiles and landscaped greenery. Sunlight reflects off the water's surface, creating a serene environment, while palm trees and colorful plants provide a natural border around the area.

Bait Al Shams- Villa with private pool

JustinRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Definitely felt like we won the "Last-Minute Booking Lottery" with this property!!! Place was better than advertised, and I never had an Airbnb host as accommodating as Khalid. 15 minute drive got you to all of the fun and exciting things to do on the island of Zanzibar, and my man Khalid had everything line up for us to maximize our 3 days/2 nights there. Would recommend this to anyone as their first option if they want to get away from being in the noisy downtown area. Oh, can't forget, that pool was amazing...could've stayed in there all day.

A serene pool area is set against a backdrop of vibrant greenery and the ocean. The pool features clear blue water and a simple, modern design. Lush palm trees and tropical plants surround the space, enhancing the tranquil environment.
