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. Everything about this hotel was amazing! The staff were incredibly friendly and made our entire stay feel very personable. The breakfast and dinners were delicious with plenty of options, and the additional hotel-organised beach dinners with entertainment, village tours etc. were a really nice touch. The villa was stunning, very spacious and clean, and felt very luxurious with the personal pool and lounge areas. The location was great - right on the beach and close walk to some great beach bars / restaurants. Highly recommend!

If you would like to discover the area, hiking, snorkelling and cycling are possible in the surroundings and MONKEY MOUNTAIN LODGE can arrange a car rental service. I have been to many accommodations in Zanzibar, but this one was truly the most special experience for me. The peace and positive vibes I experienced there brought back 5 years of my life. The house is in a wonderful location, surrounded by dense vegetation, so you will feel a healing peace there during your entire stay. The bungalows are spacious and perfectly clean, the beds are large and comfortable, the view is stunning. The food deserves a Michelin star, the offer is varied, the ingredients are fresh every day, the portions are very generous, certainly above the price. The owner and all the staff are very accommodating, kind and ready to dedicate themselves to each guest to make them feel at home. My special thanks go to the hostess Suzy , whose helpfulness and kindness go beyond the limit and who made our stay even more beautiful. If you are planning to visit Zanzibar, do not make the mistake of not visiting this special piece of paradise. Thank you all, even though we left, a piece of my heart remained there 💓
