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. An incredible experience from beginning to end! The villa is perfect for vacationers that want quiet and privacy but don't want to feel isolated. The property is perfectly situated near Muyuni Beach for excursions to Mnemba Island for snorkeling or swimming with dolphins. It's also easy to access the must-see beaches across the north, like Nungwi, Kendwa, Matemwe and Kiwengwa. Iman and his staff took exceptional care of us from beginning to end, from arranging all of our travel, to delivering groceries, to arranging excursions to Mnemba Island as well as the Spice Farm post-checkout. The villa is beautifully decorated, exactly as pictured, and you have a front row seat to sunrise. I'm so grateful that we made this villa our home base for our trip. Highly recommend it!

I absolutely loved everything about my stay! Neema is such an incredible host—so warm and thoughtful. I arrived early in the morning around 3 a.m., and to my surprise, she was there waiting to check me in, which I truly appreciated. My room was spacious, beautifully designed, and very comfortable. The breakfast was exceptional, with fresh juice and an assortment of delicious fresh fruits that made my mornings delightful. The highlight of my stay was the Christmas Eve buffet—it was beautifully prepared and made the celebration feel so special. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience. Thank you for making my stay so wonderful!
