Facing the beachfront, Garden Beach Bungalows Jambiani offers 3-star accommodation in Jambiani and has an outdoor swimming pool, garden and terrace. Featuring a bar, the property is located within a few steps of Jambiani Beach. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. Very nice location directly at the beach. We had sea view from our terrace at the bungalow. Super friendly staff. All of the Maasai working there were very nice and we had good conversations with them. they were super chill and cool. Overall everyone at the hotel was very helpful. Breakfast was ok. Had fruits, eggs and one bread every day but on our last day we saw that there was actually a breakfast menu with different choices. Be aware that the tide in Jambiani is really present, the water is really gone for hours during low tide and you can only swim during high tight (different than to Kiwengwa were you can even swim a bit during low tide). Loved our stay there very much!

Set in Jambiani, in the middle of a local village , Zanzistar Lodge boasts a sun terrace with outdoor pool and is located just a short stroll away from the beach.

The rooms feature trendy and minimalistic design and the beds are draped with a mosquito net. There is a safety deposit box and the private bathrooms are fitted with a shower. Absolutely loved the laid back vibe of this place.I was offered an upgrade and had the room right by the beach. The tasteful interior of the rooms attracted me to this hotel initially. This is the kind of place you can walk barefoot in all day. Its small and intimate with really friendly people working there. And delicious food! Great drinks! Wonderful beach bar with a fun swing!

Evergreen Bungalows offers beachfront accommodation in Bwejuu. The property has a private beach area and bike hire and car hire are available. Zanzibar City is 37 km away. Free WiFi is offered and free private parking is available on site. The location is wonderful, quiet and absolutely relaxing. The bungalow where we stayed did not have all the comforts like an hotel room, but we knew what we were doing when we booked here, we wanted to be immerse in the nature and that was exactly what we got, we even had the pleasure to see a little monkey on our balcony one day. All the people working at Evergreen are super polite and available, the way the treated us was unbelievable, it will be very hard to forget them. The beach in front of Evergreen is not crowded like Paje, and on top of that there are very few beach boys, one day we went in Paje and regretted it because we were stopped every 2 minutes by people trying to sell you something, so we decided to come back at Evergreen. Another crazy thing is the food, litterally everything was delicious, and we tried almost the entire menu during our stay. Also we cannot fail to mention Alawi, he will be your point of reference for every tour around the island, we did many tours thanks to him, and he was so sweet to give us gifts the day we left, so we really cannot forget him, and also Yusuf (our driver) which we fell in love with. This place really left something in our heart and in our memories. If we’d ever come back to Zanzibar this is the only place where we’d want to stay. A huge thank you goes also to Claudia and Mustafa, they did a wonderful job at Evergreen you can fell their love for this place, and on top of that they were very helpful. It is impossibile to not drop some tears the day you leave.
