Villa holiday rentals in Unguja South Region

Mo was the most fantastic host! He was always available to check in on us and made sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. He recommended fantastic places to visit and was always so happy to help. He is so genuine and really made this one of the most memorable trips for my Dad and I. I can't wait to go back ✨️

The Zanzibar Beach House is a great place to stay when visiting the island. Nice amenities, beautiful beach view and great staff. Highly recommend!

Very nice place in a prime location right at the beach. Amenities and cleanliness are very good. The terrace, which is just a jump from the Indian Ocean at high tide, is unique. We have not seen any other accommodation in Jambiani that provides such private access to the sea. At low tide, you can still lie down in the existing hot tub😎 There was a power outage twice in the ten days we were on site, but this was promptly picked up by a generator set. Hakuna matata! What made our stay that bit special was Barau, the local manager. He lives in the neighborhood, is always available and a very helpful, friendly and accommodating person. He cares very well for his guests and reliably helps to organize all kinds of tours, whether on land or water. In addition, Barau and his wife Zuhura offer very good authentic food at absolutely affordable prices. So definitely try it!

This is my second time staying at this home. Beautiful home and great hosts. My experience both times have been excellent. I don’t think I can come to Tanzania without staying here. Until next time!

Very nice secluded place in Paje, high quality villa. Host were flexible, quick to respond in communication.

Great resort of about 5 villas. Looks exactly like the pictures. Really paradisiacal. Would come back in a moment. The service is also perfect. 2 meals a day (had half board). Service always available, great food with lots of variety. The manager responds perfectly to her own wishes and can help with planning the holiday on the island. Only downside: the sea is a few 100 meters away at low tide and you have to walk a bit until you are on the water. At high tide, however, the water is right outside. So I've seen more beautiful beaches, but the villa and the "around it" make up for it without any problems! Absolute recommendation.

Me and 7 other friends stayed here for 1 week and had a great time. We were a bit skeptical about not having a swimming pool, but a 1 minute walk by the beach and you can find Bahari which is great for food and The Loop which is great for swimming in pool (its free). We made an agreement to when the maids were supposed to clean wich was also great for those who like to sleep long. We had some difficulty finding the villa since we used our own driver, so I would recommend using the villas driver or set your google maps to Bahari Pizza Resturant to get there safely with your own driver. Overall the stay was great with a 10 minute drive to Paje city center, and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay in Zanzibar:)

Loved our stay and the people were amazing! The daily breakfast and dinner were fabulous and we were well cared for by the property staff. Thank you Moonshine for allowing us to stay at your property to experience Zanzibar!

Hostly’s team was incredibly flexible and made sure my group had a fantastic 7-night stay—and my birthday celebration was unforgettable! The villa’s view is surreal, and the housekeepers/breakfast makers were lovely—they even baked me a birthday cake and decorated my room! Most reported issues were swifty addressed. I used Hostly's spa services, and the 90-min outdoor massages were heavenly. The beds were comfortable, and I loved the two pools and beach access. Areas for improvement: - Stronger generator to power AC and hot water during outages - Stronger Wi-Fi; spotty connectivity was a challenge without SIM cards - More breakfast variety over a week-long stay - Regular pest control to reduce mosquitoes and flies - Some bathrooms lacked shower-toilet separation, causing water to spread - Prefer communication via Airbnb app for seamless discussions Despite these issues, Hostly’s amazing service and flexibility made our stay incredible. Highly recommend this stunning villa!

A place that you would wish to stay some other time

We booked both connecting airbnbs. They are identical. The prompt was even better than pictured. Many ig picture worthy spots. There is only ac on the bedrooms so the common areas do get warm. The house manager was extremely friendly and helpful. I recommend getting the chef he did a great job. There is a little convenience store about 10 min walk but other than that there isn’t a whole lot around. The location is an hour drive from The rock restaurant, stone town and the northern beach.

If you’re looking for a place that combines tranquility, art, and warm hospitality while keeping you close to the action, this is it. This is the one & I’ll definitely be back special thanks to the staff here. they are incredibly friendly, informative, and always eager to help, making the stay even more special. Chef Ahmed’s food is nothing short of mouthwatering.

If you’re looking for a private beach with white sand and security, this villa is ideal for you. I travel frequently and often book Airbnbs, but this villa truly stands out as the best. It’s incredibly beautiful. The guards, the host, and the staff have all been exceptional. It has exceeded my initial expectations. Calister and her team have been incredibly helpful with everything. The attention to detail and the level of service here make it a remarkable experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a luxurious getaway. I’m definitely re booking once I visit Zanzibar again.

The villa offers privacy, a private swimming pool, and beach access. Riccardo is simply an outstanding host. The structure offers a blend of Italian and Zanzibari culture. The housekeepers were highly professional and very warm. The villa is exceptionally impressive and extremely well-maintained. Of most the Airbnbs I have stayed in, I would highly rate this one without any reservations.

Amazing location with endless beachfront right out the front door. Tons of restaurants within a short walk. Pool was amazing, cleaning crew was super great, and cleaned multiple times a day. Included breakfasts were amazing, but we didn’t pay extra to eat lunch or dinner there, since almost all other nearby locations were cheaper.

Very lovely and comfortable villa with lots of amenities, and a nice and clean shared, private pool. Two villas in a gated property. Fully equipped kitchen, refrigerator, microwave (needs to be replaced). Breakfast area by the pool. BBQ grill available. 5 minutes walk to the beach and about 10 minutes to beachfront restaurants. Kareem, who is the resident helper does it all! He is an AWESOME helper who is always available to help with anything, even the smallest detail. Fast, energetic, enthusiastic, never complains and always a happy, smiling personality. HE made our stay incredibly enjoyable. Runs errands as needed. Unfortunately, we had a few instances where the electricity went out (once for an extended period of time during the night and through around 10 am the next day) which caused discomfort since the AC and fans wouldn’t work but these were town-wide outages and not under the property’s control. However, I would recommend installing a generator to avoid such inconveniences.

The house was great. We had everything we needed and were able to visit restaurants on foot along the beach. People are incredibly welcoming. The housekeepers Majuma, Aysa and Ben were the best and loved ones. They were incredibly sweet and helpful. prepared us a super delicious breakfast and dinner every day. The two tour guides Solomon and Rahmadan booked us unforgettable trips, everything we imagined was made possible without problems. They were always there for us and offered us a car service. We all really loved it. All in all, everything went perfectly and smoothly. We can 100% recommend the villa.

We spent a perfect week in this small paradise, everything is made to ensure your stay is smooth and comfortable. It combines the advantage of the Airbnb (privacy, space, private pool) with those of a hotel (very good food, daily cleaning). Internet is fast. Beautiful sunsets. Lots of activities in this area of Zanzibar (caves, kayaking, parks etc). I recommend 100%.

We had a great time in the house. The location is peaceful and close to the beach in Jambiani, with many local shops and restaurants around. The kitchen is well equipped and great for cooking. The rooftop space has a nice breeze. The staff is super friendly and took care of us well.

Thanks for a wonderful stay Raphael. The house is beautiful, it is as described. It is very well maintained, there are fruit trees and bougainvillea on the property and it is beautiful The house is equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay. The pool is large and clean, we enjoyed it in the late afternoon after returning from the beach (1 min walk) Issa the caretaker is a kind, efficient and trustworthy man. Raphael is an exceptional host, he responded promptly to our many requests always with a kind word and a smile in his voice. We hope to meet him one day and we will certainly return to his home. Go there without so much as a second thought.

Sacha’s place is very modern and spacious. It’s located very close to the beach, perfect location for a peaceful stay and sunrise watching. Sacha is very responsive and helpful in giving directions and recommendations in the area. Overall, it was a nice stay!

Simba’s apartments was a wonderful stay. Christoph was a generous and pleasant host, very available. We got to watch both the Wimbledon and Euros finals (in the bedrooms is possible too) - if you enjoy sports, it’s the right place to go. The staff was super friendly. The rooms very comfortable. And you’re a short walk from the beautiful pristine beach. SIMBA has a partnership with Mayai Hotel so you can go enjoy the pool, beach and restaurant at Mayai (10min walk away). We recommend staying here!
