Our stay at Lions Villa in Zanzibar was exceptional! From the get-go, Paola provided very useful information about the villa, its services, and the island, making our trip planning seamless. The villa itself was impeccably clean, beautifully designed, and felt just like home. We made use of several services, including a private chef and island excursions, all of which were easily planned and precisely met our expectations. A special mention to our driver, Mohamed, who was fantastic and accommodated all our requests with a smile. Additionally, Mr. Davies took care of all our on-site requests, ensuring a smooth stay—he was truly fantastic. Overall, Lions Villa is a gem in Zanzibar, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly!

My partner and I did not hesitate to book this Relax Villa and we are so happy with our choice. From check in to check out all was more than we could possibly expect. The whole place is super clean and well maintained inside out. The pool right in front of the villa gives a stunning view and the high wall adds good privacy. The most important part for us was the safety and quietness around the estate. We could walk few steps to the beach with many bars and restaurants or just relax by the pool as much as we needed without interference. We definitely plan to return soon. Thanks to Caroline for her full support.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Villa Julito, hosted by the wonderful Carlos and Adriana. From the moment we arrived, they were incredibly helpful and made our trip truly unforgettable. The villa itself was not only very beautiful and clean, but it also had a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The air conditioning was ready for us upon arrival, which was a fantastic relief. There are wonderful restaurants nearby such as Marto boutique hotel which we highly recommend. If you're looking for a more convenient food option, we also recommend Si Burgers outside the compound. They serve delicious food and even deliver right to the villa. The beach is also a stone’s throw away. The villa is private, offering a peaceful retreat, and we felt completely safe throughout our stay, thanks to the excellent security measures in place. The staff was also amazing, which made our experience even better. They were always friendly and attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Carlos and Adriana went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. They provided great recommendations for local attractions and were always available to assist us whenever we required help. The outside facilities were also clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall experience. We highly recommend Villa Julito to anyone looking for a fantastic getaway - it’s a true gem.

My husband and I opted for a location in Zanzibar that would make us feel like we’re in our own little paradise and that’s just what we got at Mchaichai villa. We loved that we could choose to not have house keepers on a daily, this made us feel more relaxed and unbothered throughout our holiday. The stunning pool right in front of our villa was really nice, we couldn’t resist to swim under the stars in total silence surrounded by nature. It almost felt like we’re on a wellness retreat. I think Kiwengwa beach should be considered the most peaceful because on all our walks we were not bothered by beach boys like some of the beaches we visited around Zanzibar, this made us enjoy our routine beach walks. From reservations to check out everything was perfect so we can’t wait to return and experience here again.

It's a quiet place. The house is located in a guarded area. The beach is a 5 minutes walk away. The pool was very nice. Wifi was slightly better than other places I have visited in Zanzibar. Every day you get a huge breakfast made for you in the villa. There is AC in every room so you can set the temperature to what you like. It felt really luxurious and we didn't feel anything was missing during our stay. Outside the area you need transport to get to stores, activities, so make sure you have contact information to drivers. There is plenty of ATMs within 5 minute drive and I had no issues withdrawing Tanzanian shillings from them.

A must visit! We ended up at Garden Beach Villas by coincidence after having another accommodation in the area cancelled. We did not expect a lot and were nicely surprised. Our stay was at the small villa which is comprised of great sized bathroom, clean bedroom and large living room area connected with kitchen which, despite being quite basic, is equipped with pretty much everything you need. The outdoor area is of a great size with chairs and a sunlounger - overlooking the beautifully cared for garden which offers direct access to calm and relaxing beach. Our breakfast was served on time and always fresh- we had fresh juice, fruit, pancakes, eggs and bread available. The staff was exceptional-smiley and welcoming always available to help with anything we needed. We were also joined by a family of cats and kittens that made our stay that much more enjoyable. Overall we loved our stay here and would like to thank the team (especially Mati) for making our stay feel like home away from home.
