Featuring a private beach area and views of sea, RoRi Private Luxury Villas is a recently renovated villa located in Bwejuu, a few steps from Bwejuu Beach. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The restaurant serves African and Caribbean dishes, as well as Catalan and Chinese cuisine. The Villa exceeded our expectations with its spacious bedrooms and living area. Every detail is brand new, well-maintained, and tastefully decorated. The breakfast is generous and delicious, offering a perfect start to the day. The pool area is incredibly relaxing, providing a comfortable spot to unwind while surrounded by palm trees. Just a few steps away lies an endless stretch of white sandy beach, offering a heavenly view. Ricardo, our host, greeted us warmly and shared numerous tips and extensive knowledge about the area. His prompt assistance ensured we had everything we needed throughout our stay.

Boasting a balcony with pool views, water sports facilities and an outdoor swimming pool, Boutique Villa Unaweza can be found in Matemwe, close to Matemwe Beach and 45 km from Peace Memorial Museum. This property offers access to a terrace, a pool table, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. Villa Unaweza wasn't just a place to stay, it was an experience. It was a home away from home, filled with impeccable hospitality, thoughtful touches(surprised me with the best cake on my birthday), and unforgettable moments. If you're seeking a slice of paradise with a side of genuine human connection, look no further. Sylvia, Aga, Fau, Fridah, Felix and Denge made me feel truly welcomed and cared for.Also... if you're looking for some pampering, do not miss the massage and body scrub...it was the most blissfully indulgent hour of my entire trip!

Jambiani Villas offers a peaceful beachfront retreat with three properties located 350 meters apart in Jambiani. Each property features outdoor pools, free WiFi, and lush tropical gardens. The comfortable villas and apartments include terraces, seating areas, and full kitchens. The apartment was really spacious and quite literally a stones' throw from the beach. The staff were excellent in all aspects and always happy to help make our stay as comfortable as possible. Special mentions go to Diana, Hope, Hans and Shimsa for making our stay there special. The breakfasts were basic but good, and you can order eggs (boiled, scrambled, poached, omlette) which were really tasty. The lunch/dinner options are also very good and there is the option of room service. Highly recommend the live music evenings which also has a BBQ and buffet with local food.

The Amka Guesthouse consists of two building complexes and is privately managed.

We have kitchen staff and housekeeping to ensure your well-being and cleanliness.

Guesthouse No. 1 has five different rooms and one apartment in various categories, ideal for singles, couples, and backpackers. This place was beautiful! We loved that it was set back from the beach so it was quiet, yet we had easy access to the ocean and we had a wonderful view of the turquoise waters from our large covered balcony. The balcony was an extension of our huge and pleasant room. A delicious and plentiful breakfast was delivered to our balcony each morning. The owner was very kind! He allowed us to stay extra time, since our taxi wasn't arriving until after check-out time.

The air-conditioned holiday home consists of 3 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave and a kettle, and 3 bathrooms with a walk-in shower and slippers. A flat-screen TV with satellite channels is offered. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance. The house is located about 15-20 mins walk from the center of the city and the nearby beach is just 5 mins walk. The neighborhood was really friendly, starting from kids who warmly welcomed us and showed us the way to the beach, and ending with very kind owners of the small shops in the street where you can buy all necessary essential things. The house itself was much better then we expected. Spotlessly clean with three big double bedrooms, three bathrooms, kitchen, dining room and dayroom. There is a washing machine and iron, which was very helpful! Each room is with a/c and a fan. Good wifi and hot water. And all the house is protected with mosquito nets. The owner of the house was responsive and efficient, and fulfilled all our requests.
