Villa holiday rentals in East Africa

We had an incredible stay at Tsai Tsai in Vilanculos ! Villa 4 was absolutely perfect, spacious, beautifully designed, and extremely comfortable. However, once we moved into Villa 1, it was like stepping into a completely unreal experience. Everything about Villa 1 exceeded our expectations in ways we couldn’t have imagined. I would invest every single penny into staying in Villa 1 again, even if it’s pricier, because it’s worth every cent for the unforgettable luxury and views. That said, Villa 4 was still great, but Villa 1 is truly on another level!

Beautiful villa, quiet location, very well-equipped. A garden, pool, and outdoor space for serenity. A true haven of peace. A special mention for Mathilde who absolutely makes every effort to spend an unforgettable holiday. We will come back without hesitation because everything is there. I would recommend it 100%

The house is absolutely splendid. We had a dream stay there. The view is breathtaking. All rooms have air conditioning which is a big plus given the temperatures. We will recommend this place to everyone coming to the meeting! A little extra for the welcome which is very well organized. We even have a small check-in gift. Thank you so much Elodie:)

We were a family of 5; 2 adults and 3 kids aged 14 year old, 5 year old and a 2 year old. Charlottes place was amazing. We loved everything! The staff at the house make sure you are comfortable. They cleaned everyday and we had clean towels daily. The guard Suleiman, is great to book excursions if you need, a very friendly man. We hired a chef called Katana, whom Charlotte recommended. His food was fantastic, delicious and nutritious. Just let him know your preference like swahili dishes, or other dishes and he will make it. We had him make Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Polly the manager, is at the site and she can help you if you have questions, she is very responsive and friendly. I recommend this place for families with small kids and teenagers. The pool is another gem in this house. Thank you Charlotte, we miss your house already ❤️

We had a lovely stay at Christine's house. The villa is nicely decorated, warm and really comfortable to stay in. Everything is well thought out to make you feel comfortable, and the outdoor area with the pool is really nice. We all enjoyed it a lot, big and small! The location is also very convenient, which made our stay even more fluid. Christine was very responsive and attentive to our needs throughout the stay. She adapted perfectly to us and shared good recommendations to make the most of the region. In short, a place that we recommend without hesitation to have a good time with family or friends!

The villa and outside space were just as you see in the photos. We were very content and happy with the facilities. Its less than 5 mins on the bus to Grand baie and Pereybere . On our second day i had a bad accident and had to be rushed to hospital. We cannot thank Ariane and her daughter enough for the help and support they gave us during this traumatic time. Christophe and Preeti were also very supportive. Despite this incident we had a lovely time particularly around the pool outside. If we return to Mauritius we would have no hesitation in staying at Christophes' beautiful villa.

We were blown away by the beauty of the villa when we arrived. It is the perfect balance of luxury & home, without feeling like you have invaded someone else's space. The staff were great at keeping the place tip top, and we enjoyed some gorgeous mauritian cuisine prepared. The garden and pool are a stunning place to enjoy the Mauritian sunshine. Whole heartedly recommended!

My family and I had such a great time! The place was beautiful and clean, exactly like the pictures! Elyson was a great chef and very helpful with everything we needed! I would absolutely come back and recommend this place to others!

A wonderful stay. The villa has spectacular views to the north and the layout for indoor/outdoor relaxation is fantastic. A lovely pool that gets north sun so is warm even in Mauritius 'winters'. Daily cleans from Pooga worked well - I was alone so never availed myself of any of her cooking which I gather is also an option. The place is near 'everything' - the best restaurant in the country is 20 mins away and there are tons of options 5-15 mins away. Groceries are as little as 5 mins away, 12 tops. Nice spa is also only 5 minutes away. Sunsets are glorious every night. Looking forward to another visit!

INCREDIBLE stay!!! One of the best Airbnbs I’ve visited. The home and grounds are even more beautiful than in the pictures. The hosts Abdul & Ramadhani are so responsive and very helpful organizing local rides, tours, airport transfer, etc. Food was delicious and much enjoyed. We will certainly stay again if we find ourselves back in Zanzibar!

Our stay at Aloha was absolutely exceptional! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The host was incredibly helpful and responsive, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The accommodation itself was spotless and spacious, truly a home away from home. The daily cleaning staff were friendly, professional, and respectful of our privacy, making us feel completely at ease. The space was not only clean but also well-maintained and thoughtfully equipped, providing the perfect environment for a relaxing getaway. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely return in the future. Highly recommended!

Absolutely beautiful! Location is perfect. The house is stunning, with plenty of space for large groups, a lovely pool and breathtaking view. The staff were amazing and took great care of us. An unforgettable holiday!

Our stay was amazing Great facilities for a large family or group of people. Very comfortable, lots of lounging options inside and out fantastic garden and amazing view of the dam. Overall....I great place and host ! Thank You

We had an absolutely peaceful and fun stay at Villa E'mocean! The house is stunning and well laid out. The bedrooms are spacious and the living areas are very open. The salt water pool is perfect for little ones to play in and has a perfect lap lane for those that want to really swim. The best part was the amazing staff that took great care of us from Chef Bony cooking meals just for us to Marita and Euralia keeping everything clean and organized. We are so glad we came and we hope to visit again!

Thank you so much to Michaela and Andrew for the best stay in the most beautiful villa. It felt like we were living in a postcard! The pictures are exactly what it looks like and the sea view is just beyond beautiful. We absolutely loved Eden Island! It felt so safe and secure and a great place to base yourselves to explore the rest of the island and Seychelles. The boat trip to cerf island was one of our favourites! The hosts were SO amazing - I asked many questions before we came and nothing was ever too much. They always responded quickly and gave so many recommendations in such great detail, many of which we did - so thank you both so much! They were also soo kind in letting us have a later check out so our baby could have a nap. As I said their communication was amazing - we had a little issue with the WiFi and TV on the first day and they sorted it immediately. We all had the best holiday of our lives and would definitely come back and stay in this villa! Just amazing, thank you

The villa is simply fantastic! The house is very well designed, especially the wrap-around bespoke enormous pool. The garden opens up into an endless view of a lush green well maintained landscape. There is so much space to hang out: outside dining and lounging, the garden, the pool and huge bedrooms. Priya was available every morning to do laundry and tidy the place, while the manager Hans was incredibly responsive with any query we had. The Anahita domain offers great restaurants, a bakery, some fashion shops, water sport activities, padel/tennis, a gym and of course golf (which we didn't do actually). The golf buggy which belongs to the villa, was great for our transport flexibility. Mauritius itself offers beautiful nature, very friendly people and exciting outdoor activities (ziplines, Quads, etc...). The holiday was simply too short. We recommend staying at Andre' and Nicolas' villa full heartedly!

We had a great week at Khemal's villa. Everything is as described, the villa is spacious and comfortable. The swimming pool is nice given the temperature! Khemal is a nice and very responsive host. Recommended!

We had such a lovely stay in the villa, it was so peaceful and luxurious. The food was excellent and the staff went above and beyond for us

We had a very nice week with the family the Villa is very welcoming. It feels like home. Thanks to Stéphane for hosting us. Thank you to the on-site staff Raissa Francine and Fransisco for allowing us to have an extremely pleasant stay with excellent cuisine with special mention for desserts and impeccable housekeeping. The description of the villa is compliant. the place is idyllic.

This is truly a one of a kind villa- perfect for long term stays as the rare feature of uninterrupted solar electricity is a luxury in Zanzibar. Arnaud is a kind stalwart host, ready to attend to the villa at anytime. Anne is superb at sweet efficient communication. They really know how to make you feel at home. The 24 hour Maasi attendant and 3 cool dogs ensure a safe stay. The villa is situated perfectly between Kendwa and Nungwi beaches, two pristine beaches which can be reached in a short walk or ride. Grocery stores are a quick walk as well. Barakana restaurant delivery has plenty of yummy menu choices. The villa is perfectly equipped with spacious rooms and ample shelving. The bathrooms are fantastic! Extra large showers with hot water and Kardashian luxury disappearing sinks- allowing space for an entire family's toiletries. The rooftop pool penthouse lounge is marvelous, offerring panoramic sunrises and sunsets and exquisite star filled nights under the African sky.

Access may seem a little long sinceithas to go up to 800 meters, but the quality of the accommodation, its exceptional view, as well as the activities available, are well worth these few meters of climbs. Thank you for the welcome and responsiveness. Recommended for friends.

A very nice weekend with the family, we did not miss anything. Great amenities. Congratulations on your kindness and hospitality. We'll be back without hesitating. very nice continuation to you!

Thank you very much to Rajesh, and her assistant Véronique for this very nice stay. The house is superb, it perfectly matches the photos and description. The equipment is very good. The little touches on arrival and when checking out was not mandatory but so appreciated, thank you again. The house is in the middle west of the island, which allowed us to easily visit the whole island with an average of 35min drive per day. We recommend ++++ this listing! Once again, thank you for everything!

My family (5 kids, 2 adults) spent the most amazing 2 weeks at Isabelle's villa and couldn't have asked for anything better to relax and enjoy on our vacation. Her luxury home was equipped with all the amenities one could hope for, and felt nothing like a rental but everything like home. It was decorated with great taste, upscale furnishings, comfortable linens and had everything down to a security system, batteries, mosquito repellent, sewing kit, and every other little thing you don't realize you need until you need them. The kids loved the pool, the bunk beds, the numerous books, the beach area with rocks and the breathtaking sunsets. The adults enjoyed the comfortable beds, the fully equipped luxury kitchen including the Nespresso machine, the large front garden and the accessibility of the home by car. You can feel all the love that Isabelle has poured into this place, she is an amazing host and provided great recommendations, which made our stay fantastic. We'll be back!
