I liked the vibe of the hostel, it was easy to make friends to go on adventures and hang out around the hostel/pool with. The host, Mohammed, was wonderful and so helpful with setting up activities or giving advice for what to do around the island/give rides to Paje.

An unexpected oasis in the heart of Zanzibar. Meandering through the bumpy and dusty dirt roads, you can't help wonder where on earth you're going; but prepare yourself for a wonderful surprise. Nestled in Zanzibar's Jambiani region is this beautiful heavenly hotel with jaw dropping views of the ocean and sunrise. Once we arrived, we were greeted by the couple-owners themselves. Denisa and Val were incredibly kind and gracious, like good friends you have known for decades. When they shared the story about Casa Paradis, it was evident that this was no normal hotel in Zanzibar – this was their labour of love; and it showed! The attention to detail really stood out for us, especially in Zanzibar were things can be a little hit and miss. Every little detail in the hotel and our rooms has been carefully thought out; to make this stay probably one of the most comfortable hotel experiences we have ever had (and we live in Dubai). It felt like home, away from home with amazing company thrown in. The best part was you're only minutes away from everything, but the privacy, calmness and quietness makes it feel like you are the only people on the island! Then came dinner! The menu is new everyday, a rare treat for Zanzibar where food can get a little monotonous, which isn't always a bad thing, but not at Casa Paradis! Their adjacent Nobis restaurant was so exceptional its easy to forget you're in Zanzibar. From the quality of ingredients to presentation, you can't help but want to eat there every night, and we almost did! 😅 The best part me and my fiancé equally admired was the fact that Denisa and Val were working alongside their local staff all night! Denisa in the kitchen with the chefs and Val serving guests with exceptional service! Food prepared with love, served with love is food received with love. Thank you Denisa, Val and everyone at Casa Paradis for making our stay so special!

Located in Jambiani, 700 metres from Paje Beach, Sharazad Oasis Retreat provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. Each accommodation at the 4-star resort has sea views, and guests can enjoy access to a terrace and to a bar. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared lounge and free WiFi.

We absolutely loved our stay in Sharazad Oasis Retreat. The location is amazing, in a quiet and naturally beautiful spot, simultaneously by the sea and in the middle of biodiverse greenery, with many native trees and with red colobus monkeys passing by every day. The houses are very comfortable, cosy and pretty, designed using natural materials. There is no aircon but we did not feel too hot even during the hottest days, instead it was really pleasant to enjoy the natural air flow from the sea. The staff is really kind and helpful. The facilities are great. We particularly enjoyed the jungle pool. The food was very nice, including the breakfast. We would particularly recommend the Vietnamese restaurant, which is partly part of the hotel, absolutely delicious! The excursions we organised via the hotel were good, especially the spice farm, and we also enjoyed relaxing massages in the Naru Spa. All in all, a much recommended choice for a sustainable higher end stay! Not sure that there are many similarly amazing places to stay left in Zanzibar.

- Beachfront Bliss: Step directly onto the soft white sands of Jambiani Beach. Villa Juliana features a 500 metres² tropical garden and an infinity pool from where guests can enjoy views of the sea.

Super friendly staff and the most beautiful view to the sea. The villa integrates tanzanian architecture beautifully in the building. It's simple without air conditioner but with love. Also the food was amazing and whenever I had a question I got help right away. The place is quite and relaxing. Would love to come again

    Perfect location right on the beach between Paje and Jambiani and therefore an oasis of peace! The rooms are located in a nicely maintained garden with the restaurant, pool and lounge area right on the ocean. The hotel has its own generator which makes the frequent powercuts on the island easy to deal with. Staff and management are super nice, friendly and helpful!!

    We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel. Would highly recommend! Rooms and hotel very cute and well designed. Stefania and her staff are absolutely amazing!! Bondeni beach house is right behind Bahari bungalows (same owner) which has a beach front so during the day you just cross the road and then you’re right on the beach. the breakfast was also delicious (very good passion fruit jam!) and we loved the Bahari restaurant.

    Super location right on the beach. Lots of places you can relax and watch the sea go in and out. Staff very friendly and lovely atmosphere. For breakfast you can either choose eggs, a pancake or oats- comes with a delicious smoothie and fruit. Bed comfortable with mosquito net and we had the room with the view onto the ocean- amazing!
