Safaya Luxury Villas - Adults only

Nungwi

Offering pool views, Safaya Luxury Villas - Adults only in Nungwi offers accommodation, free bikes, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a terrace and water sports facilities. Both WiFi and private parking are available at the lodge free of charge. My wife and I have traveled to many places around the world, but our stay at Safaya was truly one of a kind. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by incredibly helpful staff who went above and beyond to make our experience special. The food was excellent, offering great variety and quality that kept us looking forward to each meal. The villa we stayed in was spacious, immaculately clean, and beautifully designed. The outdoor areas were equally stunning—the beach, flowers, and the private little pool made for a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Safety was never a concern; we felt secure throughout our entire stay. Any requests we had were handled quickly and efficiently by the staff. Overall, it was a perfect stay, and we would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a unique and luxurious getaway.

With Paje Beach reachable in a few steps, Ananda Beach Hotel provides accommodation, a restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a private beach area. Complimentary WiFi is provided throughout the property.

A terrace can be found at the lodge, along with a shared lounge. From the very first step into Anada Hotel, we were embraced by a profound sense of warmth and care that made us feel instantly at home. The reception staff welcomed us with genuine kindness, the security team and porters assisted us with thoughtfulness, and the housekeeping staff ensured every detail of our stay was flawless. Every interaction was infused with heartfelt hospitality that resonated deeply with us. A highlight of our experience was meeting a beautiful Masai family on the beach, accompanied by joyful children who filled the moments with laughter and connection. Our daughter formed a heartwarming bond with their son, creating memories of pure joy and wonder. Their presence added a soulful depth to our time in paradise, making our stay truly unforgettable. Leaving Anada was difficult — it became a sanctuary of peace, warmth, and togetherness. To the remarkable team and the inspiring Masai family, thank you for touching our hearts in ways we will carry with us always. Until we meet again.

MONKEY MOUNTAIN LODGE

Mtende

With sea views, MONKEY MOUNTAIN LODGE is situated in Mtende and has a restaurant, luggage storage space, bar, garden and terrace. Both WiFi and private parking are accessible at the lodge free of charge. I will always keep this place in my heart. 3 nights here released 2 years of stress on my shoulders. Serenity, astonishing views, jungles, animals, sunrises, sunsets, amazing food. The bungalow is spacious, spotlessly clean, brand new, where luxury meets rustic and bonds you with nature. Watching monkeys playing on baobab branches from the terrace of our bungalow was just mind-blowing. Mtende beach is like from sci-fi movies, just unbelievable, one of the most memorable and remarkable places I’ve visited on this planet. All this is possible thanks to the hospitality of Jeff and Suzi, who went above and beyond to provide the best experience of our stay in Zanzibar. We stayed on 6 beaches in Zanzibar, 9 accommodations, and this was the best place.
