House vacation rentals in Zanzibar Island

We stayed for almost two weeks in Karin’s villa and extended our stay twice on short notice—both times without any issues. Karin was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The property itself is spacious and well-protected by Masai guards day and night. We found the location to be perfect for Paje—close enough to explore the area on foot during the day, yet far enough from the nightlife to enjoy a peaceful rest at night. The villa is truly unforgettable. The open design of the living and kitchen area creates a stunning atmosphere, especially when all the doors and windows are open. The kitchen is well-equipped and perfect for preparing delicious meals with the amazing local ingredients and spices. The lush garden, filled with beautiful plants and trees, makes the outdoor space incredibly inviting. We loved spending entire days by the pool, just relaxing and enjoying the tranquility of this wonderful place. We highly recommend staying here and would love to return!

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

Jungle villa is the best place to stay in Paje, probably in Zanzibar. Everything comes together to make for a wonderful stay. The pool is a highlight with amazing lights for the best moments at night. Shout out to the detail in the design. A lot of attention went into making this place. The design overall is also quite muted, not a lot of distractions... a focus on doing right the things happening. Jasna is also super responsive and helpful. Make sure to get the bikes out for some good memories around the space. A+ overall.

Our stay in Paje was simply magical, thanks in large part to the stunning villa we had the pleasure of calling home. The villa itself was an absolute dream, beautifully designed with an aesthetic with a traditional Zanzibari charm. Every detail, from the hand-woven textiles to the carefully curated decor, created an ambiance of tranquility and elegance. Sonia and Matteus were the most gracious hosts, always available to assist with anything we needed. Their warm hospitality and birthday decor made us feel instantly welcome. The breakfast spread in the morning was a delightful feast, featuring fresh fruit and a variety of delicious options. The villa's location was perfect, just steps away from the pristine sands of Paje Beach. We spent our days soaking up the sun, and exploring the vibrant local culture. Evenings were spent relaxing on the villa's pool , enjoying the cool breeze. We highly recommend!

Centre ville accessible en moins de 10 minutes à pied, logement fidèle à la description. Diana et Omary ont été très flexibles quant à nos horaires d’arrivée et de départ, en plus d’être toujours disponible pour répondre à nos questions. Merci à eux !

This villa was amazing although my only complaint was the comfort of the beds mattress was a bit stiff and uncomfortable. Staff was really nice! Celebrated my birthday and they did an amazing job decorating! Thanks again!

We loved our stay at Maia’s place in Kidoti! We spent our time lounging in the perfect outdoor spaces— enjoying the hammock, beautiful sitting areas, and poolside chairs, walking along the rocky shore at low tide, and eating al fresco under the stars. This is an ideal spot for a peaceful vacation!

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.

A beautiful Airbnb and amazing host! The hospitality was great and the surprised breakfast being included was a plus. It was a bit hard to find, but once we did we didn’t want to leave! Wished we stayed at this Airbnb longer!

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!

Feels right at home. With a nice ocean facing rooftop, clean swimming pool. This is a safe lodge, location is quiet and safe with friendly staffs and secured. Responsive host and always checking if everything was ok. This is a place where you can have a perfect rest/relaxation on vacation. I will definitely book again.

For us Marias place was an oasis of tranquility, peace and beauty... the colorful, rich and lovingly cared garden, a very comfortable pool, conscitious house cleaning, an incredible rooftop with nice breeze and the possibility to take a shower upstairs were amazing. Thank you so much Maria for the heartful communication & for SHARING YOUR PARADISE :))

Hanna, Inès et moi vous remercions énormément pour cet accueil unique. Le cadre est sublime, Paulette et Didier ont été aux petits soins avec nous. Nous nous sommes senti comme à la maison. Paulette a su répondre à nos besoins et nous a préparé un festin excellent (spécialité congolaise/swahili) avec des produits frais. Sa cuisine est faite avec amour et beaucoup d’attention. La décoration de chaque chambre et séjour commun sont magnifiques. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter et nous recommandons cette maison d’hôte. À bientôt!!

Great location, very close to the beach. Wonderful team looking after us. Thank you

Cynthia's home was perfect for our family. Home was exactly as what was in the picture. Upstairs area of home was open, bright, and welcoming. Ester rhe housekeeper was very accommodating, what ever we needed, she would make it happen. The clear glistening pool was my getaway spot. The home was in a quiet area, but only a few minutes from shopping, this was the perfect location for us. I would definitely recommend this home.

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.

nice peaceful place amongst the locals. you'll get a true feel how i would be living in Zanzibar.

L’alloggio di Manuela è incantevole, un’oasi di tranquillità , pace e privacy in un sei luoghi più belli di Zanzibar. La casa è dotata di tutti i comfort e Othman , il collaboratore di Manuela e’ sempre disponibile a fornirti consigli e indicazioni. Peccato solo che la casa fosse disponibile soltanto 2 giorni altrimenti ci saremmo fermati per sempre…

We’re thankful for letting us stay the place was very nice and had all services, honestly haven’t seen anything better in Zanzibar this was a great experience . Can’t wait for my next stay !!

Regina war eine super freundliche Gastgeberin und macht alles möglich für die großen und kleinen Gäste. Sie ist eine liebevolle Persönlichkeit. Sie gibt gute Tipps und organisiert Touren und kann diese speziell auf die eigenen Wünsche ausrichten. Bei ihr fühlt man sich wie zu Hause. Wir als kleinen Familie fühlten uns sehr wohl und würden jederzeit wieder kommen um bei Regina zu wohnen. Zum Strand sind es nur 5Minuten zu Fuss und dort gibt es jede Menge kleine Hotels mit Restaurants oder auch eine kleine Abkühlung in einem Pool als Tagesgast. Der Ort ist total schön und ruhig und nicht so überlaufen. Es gibt viele kleine Stände um Obst und Gemüse zu kaufen. Liebe Regina herzlichen Dank für alles, auch das du uns das richtige Leben dort gezeigt hast. Es war uns eine Ehre deine Gäste gewesen zu sein und wir kommen dich wieder einmal besuchen.

Dieses Airbnb ist der absolute Wahnsinn!!! Ich habe selten eine so nette und freundliche Person getroffen wie Calister. Wir wurden total lieb in Empfang genommen, wir haben eine Führung durch die Villa erhalten und uns wurde alles gezeigt. Die Villa ist Top ausgestattet und super modern und sauber und es riecht herrlich nach Citrus Duft. Der Kühlschrank war gefüllt mit Wasserflaschen und wir haben einen Obstkorb erhalten. Das gesamte Auftreten von Calister und Ihrem Team ist super professionell und man fühlt sich sehr Willkommen. Absolutes Highlight der Villa ist der tolle Pool, mit Blick aufs Meer. Ich würde diese Unterkunft immer wieder buchen und empfehle Sie definitiv weiter!!!

Wenn du im lebhaften Sansibar eine stille Oase sucht, bist du hier genau richtig. Ein privater Strand und unverbaubare Seesicht in alle Richtungen und von überall auf dem Grundstück. Ein gutes individuelles Frühstück, Abend und Mittagessen. Frisches Obst (So viel Passionsfrüchte wie man essen kann) und eine gut eingerichtete Minibar im Kühlschrank. Freundliche und Prompte Antworten und Erfüllung der Wünsche. Eine klare Empfehlung.
