Beachfront vacation rentals in Zanzibar

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!

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.

Estar a casa de la Ingrid ha sigut un somni. La casa es preciosa i confortable. Les persones que atenen la casa ens han fet sentir molt bé i ens han ajudat a apropar-nos las costums i les persones locals. Sens dubte hi tornarem! Moltes gràcies per tot el que vau fer per nosaltres! Belén

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

A slice paradise with private pool, right next to the beach, very secure and quiet and wonderful hosts (and dogs!). We had a fantastic time with the family. Thanks again & we would recommend staying here in a heartbeat.

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!

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

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!!

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!!!

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.

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!

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.

Ernst ist ein sehr guter Gatsgeber . Er reagiert sofort und Hilft immer .Alles ist sehr gut Organisiert.Die Hilfe vor Ort hat er sehr gut geregelt. Es ist immer ein Ansprechpartner da.Vielleicht mal über ein Notstromaggregat nachdenken......Das Haus liegt direkt am Strand , nur wenige Schritte zum Meer.Absolut Ruhige Lage.Herzlichen Dank für die schöne Zeit dort.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

Felt at home and more! Great property, good communication, spotless and very clean and most of all a great host! Thank you Valentin and Denisa! We’ll be back very soon.

Toller Aufenthalt in tollem Airbnb! super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis
