New room 11 with balcony,near “The Rock Zanzibar”
Beautiful Airbnb.. very warm and welcoming staff and the rooms are so clean and tasteful. Just a minute to the beach and The Rock restaurant which we went to and thoroughly enjoyed the novelty. We would highly recommend this great spot in Pingwe,

Private Beach Studio* Best position!
we stayed here for a month. using it as a base while doing a couple of nights away to explore the island. every time we came back it felt like coming home. the location was peaceful but with enough local restaurants/stores/amenities all in walking distance. Ovi was excellent with communication and a great help with anything we needed. the views were incredible! the pace in this part of Jambiani was exactly what we were looking for. I can't recommend this stay enough.

SeaView Beach Studio*Best position!
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The location was stunning and OVI was very helpful and could help me with any question. I'd love to come back, I recommend the place to everyone.

Meliks beach apartment
We really enjoyed our stay. Big windows letting in loads of light and right on top of the beach with the extra added bonus of being able to use the hotel facilities attached to the property, as its part of the hotel complex. Alex, the liason was very helpful and friendly. There are only two things I would mention that I personally believe would improve this Air BnB and they are - 1 - A TV for those chill nights in. 2 - A Microwave. Other than that, it was a very pleasant stay and I highly recommend it.

Mbao Beach Studio, SeaView Best position!
This beach house is perfect for relaxing and unwinding and offers beautiful views of the sea. It was a great experience to be able to observe the tides so intensively. Very relaxing. The host was always easily accessible and very helpful. He also gave a lot of helpful tips. The only downside for me was the power outages and that I could not reliably work online and schedule appointments. However, the accommodation also invites you to take a vacation, read and relax. Definitely a clear recommendation and a particularly nice place to stay in Jambiani.

Giraffe Beach Studio SeaView+Free WiFi
They were really hosted like the photos. A few steps to the beach. In Jambiani, you have to count on a big low tide, so you can bathe in the afternoon, but we knew that. The owner sent us tips on where to find each other and how to look. We traveled all over the island and would definitely come back because the place wasn't as touristy as it was in the north, which was convenient for us. If we were back we would have preferred to pay for a bungalow closer to the sea and away from the driveway. Since the Bungalow does not have windows, unfortunately, you feel like cars and motorcycles were driving behind your head, etc.. two nights were really distressed when you could only sleep after 4am. But this is a thing that is unfortunately out of control. And we really liked the place. Just keep in mind that it's not suitable for someone who likes peace of mind.

Family’s favorite! Spacious flat with pool & beach
We truly enjoyed our stay at the apartment. It was impeccably clean, and the local shops were easily accessible, which made our experience even more convenient. Although we encountered occasional issues with the electricity, they were promptly resolved. Miss. Mwanjuma was incredibly friendly, helpful, and ensured the house remained spotless throughout our stay. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-maintained accommodation.

ZebraHouse Studio#❶SeaView terrace, Free Wi-Fi
Ovi was very responsive before we arrived, he planned the taxi to take us from the airport to Zebra House, he paid for the transportation so we refunded him. We took from him a rental car, he gave us very good advice in relation to the local police, as well as many places to visit. The car was a real plus during this stay a very convenient small 4x4 to be able to discover any place. Zamda, meanwhile, was on site and was very available, attentive and very good tips too. The location of Zebra House is ideal, just steps from the beach, there are many restaurants along the beach. Walking on the beach we meet a lot of souvenir vendors, local people who come to see you for excursions with them, coconut vendors etc. The big point is that you have a great view of the sunrise. In short, go for Zebra House we recommend it 200%!!

Family Beach House - right on the beach
Ernst is a very good gatsgeber . He responds immediately and always helps. Everything is very well organized. He has arranged the help on site very well. There is always a contact person there. Maybe think about an emergency power unit......The house is located directly on the beach , just a few steps to the sea. Absolutely quiet location. Thank you very much for the nice time there.

Water's edge Sea view villa, 10 guests, pool, Chef
Gorgeous house right on the beach. The house is spacious and has everything you need. The sound of the wave is always with you. The helpers and chef are very helpful and kind. Michelle is very easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend.

Villa Retreat
Fantastic location on the ocean, with fabulous views from all terraces and especially from the upper outside deck. Great open plan living space with views and spacious bedrooms with en suite bathrooms . The staff were incredibly welcoming, kind and discreet, always there to greet and assist. The property and gardens are really well designed and have a great flow. Superb walks to the reefs at low tide. The remote location provides great privacy and relaxation, highly recommended. We will be back!

Maracuja villa Zanzibar
Jerome was a great host, very responsive and proactive he accommodated all our needs. The house is magical, located in a local villa, is very private and one minute walking from a beautiful beach and some hotels where you can spend the day or have a nice meal. Also ver spacious the house can accommodated numerous people comfortable. We loved the pool where you can hang out listening to the birds. We will definitely come back.

Idyllic Beach House
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 Azurina
Beautiful, peaceful place to rest in. We enjoyed swimming in the private pool, and the stunning view of the sea. Julia provided us with a cot, a high chair, and even some toys for our son.

I love you House
Nakudenda House is a nice, spacious house in the heart of Jambiani village. The beach is just a stone's throw away. Lots of nice restaurants around. The house offers comfortable, large bedrooms. It's nicely decorated and has all you need to enjoy wonderful Jambiani. Eta and Romain are very nice hosts, very proactive and try to solve any problems as quickly as possible. Communicating with them was very easy and they go out of their way to make your stay a nice one.

Ocean Pearl Premium Stay - MEGA Discount
Wow! This is what this totally hidden gem of a place! We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this wonderful home literally localated on the beach. Super friendly staff that will always try and accommodate your requests. Winny and Joseph and the masai security took great care of us. The private gardens are enormous with plenty of seating areas to enjoy the sea breeze. Our host Sabrina was such a kind and thoughtful host, she even took time out to come visit us. She recommended great places to order food from and even arranged a local massage therapist to come visit. We would 100% recommend this beautiful hidden home to anyone wanting the luxury of a beach front getaway.

Deluxe Beachfront Penthouse - Stunning Ocean Views
The staff was the best part of the stay. They were amazing, especially Dan. The property is next to the beach and in the middle of a village. Seeing the African culture and way of living mixed with paradisiac views…was riveting. Several descent restaurants in the area as well. Will definitely book again.

Uroa Escape | Zanzibar Beachfront | Wi-Fi |King BD
The villa was absolutely beautiful. It looks much bigger in real life than in the pictures. It’s right next to the beach, making it easy to go for long walks along the shore. There are also many local restaurants nearby. I want to thank Grace ❤️ and the security gentleman for their help and kindness—they truly made my stay special!
