PhebeRating, 5 stars6 months ago
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!

Ocean View Apartment in Fumba Town

RasRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.
A clear view of the infinity pool extends towards the Indian Ocean, flanked by swaying palm trees. The expansive wooden deck offers lounge seating, providing a perfect area for relaxation while enjoying the serene ocean view and distant island.

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.

Villa Citrus - Private Pool - Beach Front

ValeriaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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!!!

Villa Forodhani: A charming ocean front palazzo

VikkiRating, 5 stars1 week ago
What an amazing property in a wonderful location. It must be the most beautifully restored house in Stonetown. Sitting on the roof terrace watching the sun go down and observing the life around the waterfront doesn’t get any better. It was very comfortable, well equipped and nice to have the support of the housekeeper and watchman. It was steps away from the stone town and its maze of narrow lanes, shops, restaurants and bars. This really is a unique property.

ST Beach Villa

KenRating, 5 stars5 days ago
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.

Beachfront private villa with infinity pool

AlexandrosRating, 5 stars7 months ago
We had a fantastic stay at Villa Masai Mara! The villa looks exactly like the photos—if not better in real life. The location is unbeatable, right on a stunning beach with breathtaking sea views. One of the standout aspects is the dedicated staff, all included with the stay. They were incredibly attentive, always ready to help with a cheerful "yes" to any request. This level of hospitality truly made a difference. The host was also exceptionally responsive, accommodating every request quickly and efficiently. The property could use a bit of maintenance, but it’s nothing that detracted from the overall experience. The villa and its location are simply amazing, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit! Highly recommended!

Mchaichai Villa- Private Villa with pool

AndreasRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Wir kamen an und fühlten uns bei Corol sofort wie zu Hause. Alles war so wie beschrieben. Wir wurden herzlichst mit einen Obstkorb von Corol und Ihren Mitarbeitern begrüßt. Das Personal war sehr hilfreich wenn es zu Rückfragen kam. Carol kann man sich vorstellen wie eine große oder kleine Schwester, beste Freundin und liebevolle Mutter. Das rundherum Wohlfühlpaket. Wer sich bei Corol nicht wohlfühlt, der soll Urlaub auf einen anderen Stern machen. Alles ist mit viel Liebe ausgestattet. Danke Carol für die unvergesslichen Momente auf Zanzibar. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

KITAMBONE HOUSE. A window to the ocean

DianaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
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!
The interior of the suite showcases an inviting kitchen area with a dining table set for two. Fresh fruit is displayed in a bowl, with a view of the ocean visible through large glass doors draped with sheer white curtains, allowing natural light to fill the space.

Ottima struttura con un personale molto gentile e sempre a disposizione. Il posto é tranquillissimo e incantevole niente a che vedere con il caos di Nungwi. Incluso c’è il servizio di pulizia per tutti i giorni. La casa è equipaggiata con tutto quello di cui necessitavamo. Se cercate un posto meno turistico questo fa al caso vostro! Speriamo che questa zona si preservi sempre cosí!
