Beachfront vacation rentals in Zanzibar Archipelago

After 2 weeks of volunteering, this accommodation was great to come down and relax. The location was really great and Barbara was always on hand to help with recommendations, a bajaji etc. needed. It was a great end to our time in Zanzibar. Highly recommended!

what a lovely place with lovely hosts and caretakers would definitely recommend Villa heidi to anyone and will definitely be returning

Hashim’s place in Fumba Town is a true sanctuary. Clean, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed — perfect for rest, reflection, or remote work. The space is modern, airy, and filled with natural light, with a balcony that feels like a private retreat. Fumba itself is calm, secure, and beautifully laid out — ideal if you want a break from the tourist buzz. What really sets this stay apart is Hashim himself: kind, respectful, and incredibly helpful without ever being intrusive. He genuinely wants you to feel at home, and it shows. Whether you’re creating, healing, or just needing a safe, quiet space — this is it. I left feeling more grounded and clear than when I arrived. Highly recommend and would definitely return.

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!

This place is outstanding for a unique setting with lots of privacy in nature. As would be expected for such a remote setting, accessibility can be challenging. You need to follow numerous turns on unmarked small, paths. Using their provided guide from the ferry or airstrip is advisable. It is truly off road for a few kms, tight for a car and slippery and messy in rainy season for a motorcycle. If you can work with the accessibility challenge, we highly recommend the place.

Thank you for the beautiful stay

This was a little slice of calm heaven. Would recommend 💯

The place is as described and shown in the pictures. The beautiful white beach is a few seconds walk. The caretakers of the house including the chef and the guard were very friendly and helpful whenever we needed anything. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

We had a lovely stay. Check in and out were seamless, and the area was peaceful. It was the perfect distance from Stonetown, and it had all the amenities we needed. We had a few questions regarding the apartment and appliances. The team was very responsive and resolved the inquiries we had in a timely fashion. Thank you for everything!

We had a wonderful stay! The residence is quiet and very well maintained! Carol was very helpful even if she wasn't there to greet us. The staff is really very friendly and always present to help us discover the place. 😊

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.

Aiasha and Kiki’s place was situated in the most beautiful location! Literally right on the white sandy beach — perfect for swimming in the ocean and breathtaking view of a picture perfect beach. The pool was lovely and our kids could have lived in it. The staff were friendly and helpful. We would come again!!

I had a fantastic stay! The place was spotless, cozy, and exactly as described. The location was super convenient, and the little touches made it feel like home. Communication with the host was smooth and easy—very friendly and responsive. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thanks again for a great experience!

The Villa is absolutely beautiful. We truly felt everything about it was perfect. You feel like you are stepping into another world. The decor is perfect. We loved spending time on the rooftop patio watching locals go about their day and the ocean view was amazing. Also, Furaha and Raphael are wonderful host. Attentive, kind and joyful. We would absolutely recommend staying here. The location is fantastic. It’s a true difference maker while staying in Stone Town.

Nice welcoming by Rashid ! Very nice and clean villa with a fantastic pool. Nearby the sea and lots of restaurants. Thanks a lot

very nice house with incredibly helpful staff, communication was great aswell. however the location is quite remote with very few restaurants nearby

Sure! How about this: “I had a fantastic experience at your property. Everything was just right, and I felt so at home. Thank you for being such a wonderful host!” Does that work for you?

nice place, very cozy. but lots of electricity issues however the hosts were very helpful with generators. lots of annoying salesman waiting outside the property following us around all day which wasnt fun

In January we visited Zanzibar (I had stayed in various beautiful accommodations for the 4th time). The Airborne Kite and Surf Villa is a real gem located in a beautiful garden/small jungle. We immediately felt welcome and at home. Everything we needed for cooking was there. Shopping is plentiful and the beach is a few minutes away. Jan's team was always kind and helpful. When we sat on the terrace, we often felt like we were in the zoo. There are 4 cuddly cats who visited us daily (sometimes 2 more people wanted to go😊),a guinea pig,a mouse (who repeatedly managed to escape the cats),a lizard (who liked to sunbathe on the stones at noon),Bushbabys (which we unfortunately only heard),various bird species,cicadas... We recovered wonderfully and enjoyed the time there. From us 10 ⭐️ 👍 Anna and Ines

Mohammed and staff were very accommodating during our stay. If you are looking for a location that’s centrally located because you want to explore the island then this is great. It’s also easy access to stone town without being directly in stone town. Villa was as advertised and the daily Swahili breakfast was an unexpected nice surprise. I’d go back.

Very nice place to stay. Perfect for relaxing. Food very good and very good service 👍🏻

Micaela’s house is beautiful facing a stunning beach. Chinga welcomed us and let us in earlier than expected, which was a huge relief. He was incredibly responsive and helpful - always popped round when we needed him. Asante Chinga! Halima cooked us a lovely breakfast. We also had a great massage. We enjoyed the Yoga Bar, Imani Beach Hotel breakfast and a couple of good dinners at Zan View. The house is stylish, the sand garden delightful and through the tiny gate you are already on the beautiful beach. Definitely recommend!

Excellent structure with a very friendly staff and always available. The place is very quiet and enchanting nothing to do with the chaos of Nungwi. Included is cleaning for every day. The house is equipped with everything we needed. If you're looking for a less touristy place, this is for you! We hope this area is always preserved like this!

great stay. very friendly host
