Villa vacation rentals in Mjini Magharibi Region

We discovered our Eden, where the reality of the place exceeds the listing description. A beautiful discovery with a perfect balance between the modernity of the amenities, the design and the perfect harmony of the place with its natural environment (tropical fauna and flora) around the theme of eco-responsibility. The view from the outdoor terrace is breathtaking and transports us to a waking dream. As for the hosts, Karl and Salha, it's hard to do better. Always attentive, trying to find solutions to make our stay easier and what responsiveness. Perfect communication and additional services offered to further improve the experience (driver, local guide, cook, home massage, car rental brought directly to the accommodation...). In short, the best compromise between the services of a palace and the tranquility in the well-being of a private rental. We didn't want to leave, little paradise

What an amazing experience, we had a large group and used the Chef services and the food was amazing !!!, such a peaceful place in the midst of nature, if you want to switch of from life for a few days this place is perfect. Kids loved the extra room with the bunk beds and the pools kept them entertained. We took a trip over to the East coast and tbh as nice as the day trip was, it was great to get back to the villas and the peace that surrounds them. Salha and Karl were amazing hosts giving us the privacy we needed but were always available to help with anything we needed. I cannot recommend enough. We will be back for sure. Thanks

Save and clean. Money well spent)

There’s not enough words to describe how great of an experience I had staying at this home. It’s exactly as advertised and the reviews about it told no lies. First of all it’s very clean to the point where you can sleep anywhere in the house and feel right at home. The kitchen and bathrooms were spotless with all the amenities you need so if you forget some essentials there’s no need to worry because the house provides it. Our house staff were so responsive to everything we needed. Anything you need just send a quick text message and they will be at your door smiling with everything you desire and ready to assist you in any way possible. I’ve traveled all over there world so when I say this place is first class treatment, I mean it. This is my second trip to DT Villas. I stayed in the house next door last year and I love how this entire property/premises is growing more like a top tier hotel resort every year but instead with rental homes. Nowhere on Zanzibar island is better, trust me

This place is beautiful, if not even more impressive in person. Large space for a family or group of friends. The villa was spotless clean and host even offered cleaning services throughout our stay to make us feel more comfortable. We ordered the breakfast and dinner on some of the days which was very useful since the villa is a little distant from restaurants and supermarkets. The back pool looking out into the sea was our favourite part of the house as it made the stay very relaxing. The host Urah was available at all hours to answer any questions or issues that we had which was useful when we had blackouts. The security guards were very friendly and made us feel very safe. We would definitely stay here again when we need a breather from the busyness of the beautiful island.

Ina and Msuli are very pleasant, considerate and available hosts to facilitate the stay. Always good advice, they helped us organize our activities by offering us people we trust, especially when one of us was sick. The house is nice and the people employed are charming, always ready to help. Great stay!

Loved our stay and the people were amazing! The daily breakfast and dinner were fabulous and we were well cared for by the property staff. Thank you Moonshine for allowing us to stay at your property to experience Zanzibar!

Aziz’s place saved our group of 8 from being accommodation-less on our first trip to Zanzibar and it turned out for the better. We felt welcome immediately, nothing was too hard or impossible. We had 4 children under 6 with us and the hosts treated them as their own. Every morning we had our fill of fruit, eggs and toast but if you prefer to go out that was also easy and doable. We had 2 seafood feasts of octopus, crayfish, squid and fish which was some of the best cooked seafood our group has eaten. 3 of our days Jojo, one of the hosts came with us and made navigating stone town and the other places we visited much easier. The accommodation was beautiful, in a great peaceful location. It is difficult to find but I messaged Aziz and he sent a driver to collect us from the airport seamlessly. The accommodation itself is quite rustic but for us it was all we needed. The fact they had a pool for when the tide goes out was great for the kids. All in all a great experience for our group!

We had a wonderful time, the house is beautiful and Bakari and Vicki were on hand to help with anything. The house was very clean and Vicki did a great job leaving us lovely bed art. Would love to visit and stay again.

Overall, this place was fantastic. It’s a traditional Zanzibar design so it’s not a modern place, but exactly what we wanted. We were thrilled to be there with our large group of two families, including 5 children. Rasheed was excellent and accommodated all of our requests. Food, especially breakfast, was delicious. The beach outside the villa is pristine, with white sand beaches and a beautiful Indian Ocean right outside the doorstep. The private pool was incredible. The villa rental subsidizes the Tamani Foundation and its students, so staying here contributes to the education of local kids. Win win.

We booked both connecting airbnbs. They are identical. The prompt was even better than pictured. Many ig picture worthy spots. There is only ac on the bedrooms so the common areas do get warm. The house manager was extremely friendly and helpful. I recommend getting the chef he did a great job. There is a little convenience store about 10 min walk but other than that there isn’t a whole lot around. The location is an hour drive from The rock restaurant, stone town and the northern beach.

We stayed 5 nights with our family of 5 at Maji Lodge. We had a wonderful time at Natalia’s fantastic place. The location is quiet and peaceful, and if you are looking for a place without too many beach seller and nightlife noise, Matemwe is for you! From booking to finish Natalia and her team were super helpful and responsive, helping with transfers and an other questions that we had. We used her chef service for preparation of breakfast on the first two mornings which was soo worth the little extra money. They had provided the grocery shopping for that as well at a good price. The villa was beautifully decorated and well-equipped. The lady providing the daily cleaning service was so friendly and thorough - the place was spotless and so was the pool area which was looked after and cleaned throughout the day. The 24 hr security team and the generator an extra plus because you do experience power cuts at times, especially in bad weather. I can only highly recommend Maji Lodge!

great villa right on the beach of Kiwengwa. the beach is mostly active with locals from the village going about their day to day either fishing, kids playing or more; which is a refreshing sight compared to the overcrowded tourist beach's of Zanzibar. the villa is beautiful and the host great

We spent a perfect week in this small paradise, everything is made to ensure your stay is smooth and comfortable. It combines the advantage of the Airbnb (privacy, space, private pool) with those of a hotel (very good food, daily cleaning). Internet is fast. Beautiful sunsets. Lots of activities in this area of Zanzibar (caves, kayaking, parks etc). I recommend 100%.

The place is super spacious, very clean, and has a great pool and outdoor space. The staff on site are wonderful. Meg and Eddy are the best hosts I’ve ever had from Airbnb and they go the extra mile on everything to make sure you have what you need, give great recommendations, and make you feel at home. Would highly recommend staying here!

Anne’s place was modern and clean. The staff was amazing and went over and beyond to accommodate us whether it came to booking tours/ excursions or something we randomly needed around the property. I would 100% recommend if you're looking for a balance between remote and relaxation but close enough to get to the main attractions of the island.

Nina was a perfect host, very responsive and helpful. The villa was amazing and I loved the private pool, which was fully private! The fact that the villa was right on the beach was amazing and I loved the fresh sea air. Breakfast was served daily in the villa by the staff. I loved every minute here and would certainly come back!

Tatyana’s place in Nungwi is an absolute gem. Tucked away in a peaceful and calm neighbourhood, it’s just a 10-minute walk to the beach, and most spots are easily reachable on foot if you enjoy exploring. The rooms are clean, modern, and tidied daily by the housekeeping team, which was a lovely touch. Tatyana herself was incredibly warm and welcoming, and Julia the dog added so much joy to our stay — such a fun companion! The outdoor shared kitchen is fully equipped, and there's a fridge available for your groceries and drinks, which made things really convenient. Tatyana went above and beyond — not only was she super responsive throughout, but she also helped plan our transportation seamlessly. As a sweet surprise, she even gave us each a thoughtful souvenir when we left. Highly recommend this place — it’s peaceful, calm, and truly felt like a home away from home!

We had such a lovely stay in the villa, it was so peaceful and luxurious. The food was excellent and the staff went above and beyond for us

WOW what a place. It gives you an authentic Zanzibar experience. From the moment I booked the process with Stephania was flawless. She is warm helpful and responsive. We met her upon check in and she makes you very welcome. The Villa is beautiful private and spacious. It has everything you need and a little grocery pack is waiting for you. It is decorated in a true Swahili style....very tasteful. Being right on the beach you always have a nice breeze. It was very hot when we went but the villa, pool and its grounds provided some much needed respite and shade. Its position is perfect...a lot of people that walked by admired it! Stephania and Rama have a great team. Pilee tends the villa garden daily and keeps the beach in front clean and tidy and Gucci tends to the pool. He will also take you to the village to shop or buy fish ..very helpful and kind. We used Rama for our taxi needs to and from the villa and a very early airport drop. He also does some fantastic trips. A superb place.

I enjoyed my stay at this Airbnb, however it is further from the beach than described and not in a walkable area. There is a significant electrical issue, that causes appliances to not work at night. Including the refrigerator, and AC. Pros: very convenient co-host Shebby ( great at planning activities) , very responsive and quick to correct issues, 24/7 security, cleanliness. I would still recommend this Airbnb to anyone wishing to stay in kendwa at a good price Cons: electrical issue affects; A/C , refrigerator and more. Stove does not work. Mattresses are extremely uncomfortable,
