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!

Hi, The place is even better than the pictures. Very spacious. The garden is pretty and nice to see all the hummingbird nests 🌴from the terrace or pool. Mathilde is great, she received us very well, very responsive. Thank you

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 ❤️

Super nice, spacious villa with a nice garden and pool. Due to the location, you need a rental car or always a taxi, but we knew that beforehand. Was really worth the price and with Catherine you have the perfect support for any question up to the purchase of a property.

Dear Christophe, Thank you very much for the wonderful time in your villa and also a special thank you for your constant accessibility. We enjoyed the time very much!

We had a fantastic 2 week stay in this beautiful property which exceeded expectations. The many staff (housekeeper, cook, cleaners) visited daily and were really helpful and attentive and always on hand for any requests or enquiries we had. Anyone keen to explore the northern part of Mauritius will have a wonderful stay here!

The Villa is very spacious, tastefully decorated and the location is great: The beach is just a stone´s throw away (there is a little path across a sand soccer field). You can also walk into Watamu (ca. 10-15 Minutes). Elyson and his team make the stay super relaxing and take care of everything (from organizing a tuktuk to fixing anything in the house). We especially enjoyed the grilled fish and the seafood pasta prepared by Elyson. There are 4 bedrooms, three have seaview. The garden offers plenty of chill out areas. There are loungers and even floaties for the pool (highly appreciated!). The garden is nice and breezy. Still, the ACs in the bedrooms were a blessing at night.

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!

This place was beautiful! The staff were amazing! They helped organise our excursions on the island too which made our trip so seamless. Food was great too! They were so responsive to all of our requests and provided great recommendations too. The cleanliness of the villa was great too! Would definitely return when back on the island!

We have no hesitation in recommending this fabulous, beautiful, spacious property! Everyone involved was super helpful, flexible and the cooking you can request through Davina is delicious and local...perfect for making the most of the villa and if like us, you were out all day sightseeing the island. Also, we asked for a few exceptional things along the way e.g. a 9th birthday celebration, a thank you date night from my husband to me (for the hols) and nothing ever felt like too much trouble for them to help us have such a special time. A massive thank you for giving us the holiday of our dreams!

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!

It was a wonderful holiday, a beautiful villa, with excellent design, modern household appliances. Nearby were the best beaches for family holidays and holidays with children. Deborah was always there and helped us with all questions. If we fly to Mauritius, we will use the services of JSLK only. Deborah, thank you for a wonderful holiday!

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!

Loved my stay love the service the staff was awesome they made me feel right at home and made my birthday really special best experience ever

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.

Our stay was nothing short of amazing, we really wish we could have had more time! The private rooftop pool and stunning sunset views made it unforgettable. Since it was Ramadan, most restaurants were closed, but having Barakana nearby and open was incredibly convenient—great food and free delivery to the villa! The space was clean, comfortable, and fully equipped, with reliable WiFi and solar power ensuring uninterrupted comfort. Anne and Arnaud were welcoming and always available. Perfect location near Nungwi and Kendwa beaches. Highly recommend!

We spent 12 days in Vanessa and Ludovic's place who are very responsive if needed. The house is perfect, well equipped with an amazing view! It is on the heights of St Leu so there is now quite a bit of travel to go somewhere but the view is worth it

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!

Isabelle's house met and exceeded our expectations, particularly the size and layout. More importantly her hospitality and availability was exceptional. We had a medical emergency (appendicitis!!) and she went above to ensure we had access to all the services required. Despite our trials, she still took every step to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended!!!
