Private pool villa near Paje beach

NunoRating, 5 stars13 months ago
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We went over the Xmas holidays in December, and it was very, very hot and humid. The pool was a refreshing oasis, meticulously taken care of with regular water refills. Regular power cuts meant that we were sometimes left without fans at night, which made it a little bit more difficult. The house's perfect location allowed easy access to the beach and the charming Paje area. The local house manager, made sure we got all the needed supplies with ease, for cooking, eating, drinking, bbq'ing. Karin and Co are wonderful hosts. Their home is exactly as described, and we highly recommend it for families with kids.

Villa Zuhura in Zanzibar

GlenRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Cynthia's home was perfect for our family. Home was exactly as what was in the picture. Upstairs area of home was open, bright, and welcoming. Ester rhe housekeeper was very accommodating, what ever we needed, she would make it happen. The clear glistening pool was my getaway spot. The home was in a quiet area, but only a few minutes from shopping, this was the perfect location for us. I would definitely recommend this home.

Staying by the beach is magical! The terrace is super cozy. Inside it is a bit dark but all the more reason to spend time on the terrace.

Private house, pool and garden, Zanzibar

ChrisRating, 5 stars23 months ago
Maria's place was lovely, peaceful and relaxing Easy close walk to beautiful beach and plenty of good restaurants. The two dogs were friendly, sweet and calm and despite other reviews did not follow us out of the complex. We always felt safe and secure as the local staff was always on hand if we needed anything and Maria was always very responsive if we had any questions. If you don't keep a car I would recommend you stop on your way for any needed groceries (Coffee, Tea, snacks, soaps etc.) and ATM as many restaurants prefer cash. We would definitely recommend Maria's place if you are looking for a relaxing peaceful place away from the hustle and bustle.

Private pool Villa beach front, Tiny Villa!

LhémiaRating, 5 stars48 months ago
Hanna, Inès and I thank you very much for this unique welcome. The setting is sublime, Paulette and Didier took great care of us. We felt like we were at home. Paulette was able to meet our needs and prepared an excellent feast for us (Congolese/Swahili specialty) with fresh produce. Her kitchen is done with love and care. The decoration of each bedroom and shared living room is beautiful. We will come back without hesitation and we recommend this guesthouse. See you soon!!

Private Villa with swimming pool

LeaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We were 3 friends (aged 32-40) and really enjoyed our stay, especially the beautiful garden and the amazing hospitality from the Massai Emmanuel. He supported us with everything we needed / questions we had. The entire property was incredibly clean and we had a good night sleep due the ceiling fans, the main road in front wasn't an issue for us. Be aware that the location is not directly at the beach and you need a TukTuk, Scooter or Cab if you want to reach e.g. Paje (5 minute drive). Check-In and Check-Out was super easy, too. We could leave our luggage before our departure and it was in good hands with Emmanuel. 2 nights were really too short, we would definitely book the Airbnb again :). Asante sana!

Island House

NatashaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Me and my family had a wonderful stay at Maksud’s house. On arrival, we were unable to find the location due to getting mixed up to which Fumba the house was in. However Maksud was easy to reach and we were able to get directions. On arrival, we were met by Shaban the caretaker who was very welcoming and gave us all the information we needed about the house. Shaban too gave us a tour around the gated community which was helpful. The house had all the supplies needed such as cutlery, toilet roll, washing powder and electric to last a few days. Within the gated community there is great security, supermarket and other stores and restaurants. Throughout the stay, there were entertainment each night which we were made aware of and other extra curricular activities. Whenever we needed any help or needed questions answered, Shaban was easy to reach and super helpful and friendly. The house itself was modern, clean and just like the photos! As was the pool! We would definitely stay again!

The bay residence

DavidRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We had an amazing time at Pano's Beach Villa! The location was perfect, we rented our own car and it was easy to find. We loved driving to Stone Town but being able to go back to our secluded and safe villa. Check in was simple and the book of instructions was very clear. We had one question and Pano picked up his phone immediately. The beach in front of the villa was amazing. Was paradise walking along the water every morning and evening. We were lucky to be here during a full moon, the nights were amazing! I highly recommend going to Zanzibar, and if you do, I highly recommend Pano's Beach Villa. Very clean, comfortable and safe. What else can you want.

Tahira's House - 1 min away from the beach

LynnRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Wonderful large airbnb in prime location just few minutes from all needs. One minute from the beach is an understatement as it practically sits at the back door. The host was amazing and Joseph went above and beyond. Genuinely would recommend this airbnb to anyone visiting Paje! Thanks so much for the Zanzibar welcome!!
