Boutique Villa Unaweza 4 stars

Matemwe

Set in Matemwe, 60 metres from Matemwe Beach, Boutique Villa Unaweza offers accommodation with free WiFi, a terrace or a balcony and access to a garden and a year-round outdoor pool. This 4-star villa offers water sports facilities and full-day security. There is a restaurant serving African cuisine, and free private parking is available. I recently had the pleasure of staying at the boutique villa Unaweza and I must say, it was a truly wonderful experience. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, boasting a new model Africa style that is both unique and charming. The rooms are kept in pristine condition, and I was delighted to find that the hotel provides spa products for their guests, including organic shampoo and shower gel. What really made my stay exceptional, however, was the staff. They were incredibly helpful and went out of their way to ensure that I had everything I needed. The breakfast was also perfect, with a wide variety of options that were all delicious. As for the location, it couldn't be better. The hotel is just a one-minute walk from the beach and offers a private area with a swimming pool. The facilities in the hotel were also top-notch, including free yoga classes for guests. My only suggestion for improvement would be for the hotel to provide more information about transportation options when booking. I found that using round-trip transportation from the airport was cheaper than taking a taxi, and I think other guests would appreciate knowing this as well. Overall, I highly recommend the boutique villa Unaweza. It's a truly special place that I would happily stay at again.

Jambiani Villas 4 stars

Jambiani Beach, Jambiani

Jambiani Villas is located in Jambiani on three properties 400 m away from each other: Kaskazi, Katikati and Kusini. All properties are situated right on the beach and offer outdoor pools and free WiFi. No doubt about it; this place deserves 5 out of 5 stars! The apartments we stayed in had plenty of room for the two of us. The food at the restaurant is amazing and the ocean is gorgeous! Staff were very friendly and accomodating. Anything could be arranged: a taxi, a dive, a trip to Stone Town, a massage in the room etc. The only negative is we wish we could have stayed longer. If we ever come back to Zanzibar we will definitely visit again!

RoRi Private Luxury Villas

Bwejuu Beach, Bwejuu

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. Guests can book themselves in for fitness classes or yoga classes. We liked the cleanliness and layout of this large and well appointed villa. It was comfortable for two couples. There is plenty of room both inside and outside to relax and spread out. The host Rodrigo was responsive and friendly and willing to accommodate our late checkout request. The pool was refreshing and the breakfasts were excellent. You can walk the beach for miles. The villa was private and easy walking distance to restaurants. Good references for taxis and tours. There is a nearby small store to change money.

This part of the island is so desolate you feel like you are on a deserted island. The cleaning woman was also very good and funny.
