Neighbourhood information

Jambiani is originally an old fishing village, where you will not find large-scale resorts. It has the widest lagoon on the entire island and is beautiful to see. The sea on Jambiani Beach is shallow for a long time, and therefore suitable for all kinds of water sports. Unlike the beaches in the north, Jambiani has a real pearly white sandy beach without large rocks and allows you to have beautifull walks on the beach. Next to the beach there are lots of places where you can enjoy the beach, or enjoy a drink or nice meal. The village offers nice small and local shops and you can easily arrange tours all over the island starting from this location. For example: Jozani Forest, Dhow Trip, Village Tours, Spice Tour, Nakupenda sand bank, Safari blue, The Rock restaurant, snorkling in Mnemba, Michamvi sunset, Fishing or swimming with the dolphins or turtles. Other villages are easily to visit as well by car, motorbike, or even by walking on the beach if you would like.
