Chunga Changa

Matemwe

Located in Matemwe, 600 metres from Muyuni Beach, Chunga Changa provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a bar. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, full-day security and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Every room comes with a balcony with pool views. My recent stay at Chiunga Changa Villa was pure bliss. Tucked away with a view of Mnemba Island, this villa is all about luxury. The private pool was a highlight, offering a serene spot to relax. Plus, the view of Mnemba Island added an extra touch of magic. Sabrina and her team made sure everything was perfect. They were attentive and friendly, making me feel right at home. The villa itself is stunning, blending modern style with cozy vibes. And being close to Bill Gates' private island was pretty cool too. In short, Chiunga Changa Villa is a dream retreat. With its private pool, gorgeous views, and top-notch service, it's a place I won't soon forget.

Jambiani Villas 4 stars

Jambiani Beach, Jambiani

Jambiani Villas offers a peaceful beachfront retreat with three properties located 350 meters apart in Jambiani. Each property features outdoor pools, free WiFi, and lush tropical gardens. The comfortable villas and apartments include terraces, seating areas, and full kitchens. The apartment was really spacious and quite literally a stones' throw from the beach. The staff were excellent in all aspects and always happy to help make our stay as comfortable as possible. Special mentions go to Diana, Hope, Hans and Shimsa for making our stay there special. The breakfasts were basic but good, and you can order eggs (boiled, scrambled, poached, omlette) which were really tasty. The lunch/dinner options are also very good and there is the option of room service. Highly recommend the live music evenings which also has a BBQ and buffet with local food.
