Located along the white, sand Jambiani Beach, Blue Oyster Hotel features sun loungers along the beach with thatched Makuti parasols. There is also a rooftop restaurant and a beach bar.

The hotel is on and almost in the Indian ocean. At high tide the waves strikes heavily the barriers of the beach stretch. The power of the ocean is amazing. The management care for details in all aspects, coushions on the beach beds, quality wooden beautiful furnitures in restaurant and outside rooms, amazing breakfast buffet with everything you need. The nearness to the ocean makes a quite narrow beach stretch which is positive: the beach boys are few cause they have very little space. I really like the local life of villagers and fishermen which you can watch and enjoy from the hotel. It gives whole Jambiani an authentic feeling. The restaurant is situated on the second floor which gives it a very fresh breeze. The food is tasty and rich. The staff cares for you, tries to remember your name and tries their absolutely best to make you feel like home.

Located in the Jambiani Beach district of Jambiani with an outdoor swimming pool, TheSpot offers accommodations with free WiFi.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Spot, a small family owned hotel, right at the beautiful Jambiani beach. The people are super friendly and always helpful. The breakfast they serve was one of the best we had in our so far 6-month travel! If anyone is looking for a clean beachfront place in Zanzibar, I can 100% recommend the Spot :)

Mamamapambo Boutique Hotel is located in the seaside village of Jambiani on the southeast coast of Zanzibar island. The hotel is built directly on the beach and is surrounded by lush vegetation.

The atmosphere of the hotel makes you relax immediately. The attentive staff and management. The rustic style of the hotel. I stayed there over Xmas and a dinner was organized by the hotel where guests were invited, that was a great gesture.

The moment we arrived it felt like a home far away from home. Excellent staff with time for a joke. Managers Shonna and Ismael were absolute legends. There’s seriously nothing to complain. It was simply perfect. Driftwood crew: we hope you read this. We had a blast, thank you so much we definitely come back.

Located in Jambiani, 3.1 mi from Paje, Joya' Beach Suites & Villa provides a garden and free WiFi.

Exceptional villa right on the beach. The villa is stunning and all the staff were super nice. The cleaning team comes 2 times per day (morning and evening) and the breakfast is fresh served on the terrace - you order it the day before via WhatsApp. You can also order food ( bear in mind it takes some time) or for those who want a local dish there is a local restaurant just in front - they will bring the food to you and they are very nice people too. Jambiani beach is beautiful and you can walk safely around. There are many restaurants around - heads up to Passion, just 2 buildings away (best food I had in Zanzibar). On the beach, there will be some local Masai approaching you with their bracelets and souvenirs but I felt they are nicer than in the north part of the island (not so pushy). You can also find some fishermen offering you tour boats. We took one and it was amazing. We enjoyed our stay so much that we cancelled another booking to come back here again two days later we left the property. Thank you Mohammed, Charles, and the cleaning team for making our stay unforgettable.

Offering a private beach area and outdoor pool, Raha Lodge Zanzibar Boutique Hotel is located on the beach in Jambiani and has 6 spacious rooms with a sea view.

Our family enjoyed our time at Raja Lodge. It was a comfortable stay. The room was spacious and the pool was lovely. After pool time we would walk out the gate right onto the beach. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. A pleasure to be around. I would undoubtedly stay here again.

Casa Paradis has a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, garden, a terrace and bar in Jambiani.

Casa Paradis is what I would call a rare find, a true gem of a place. It is by far one of the best places I have stayed in, for all the possible reasons: the design which takes you straight to 1001 Nights, the lovely owners who will immediately make you feel like home, the heavenly food, the pool and beach area, quiet location and so much more. The whole atmosphere is unique and gives you an otherworldly feeling, watching the lovely views at low tide and local people going about their daily grinds on the beach. Cleanliness is top notch, I loved the barefoot policy which just comes to show how well the place is maintained. Attention is paid to the smallest of details, from decorations and fresh daily flowers in rooms and bathrooms, to the restaurant where chef Denisa prepares breathtaking dishes, with the menu changing on a daily basis. Dinners at Casa Paradis are a must, as are cocktails enjoyed on the rooftop terrace at sunset. We cannot wait to be back! Thank you, Denisa and Valentin, for a making our stay special and for offering us an incredible home away from home.

    I loved kayaking in the ocean the most, as well as the view from the pool. The breakfast did not disappoint at all. The swings outside the rooms were cute and comfortable for relaxing. The place is very picturesque and they also grow their own vegetables which is quite impressive. You can view the sunrise from the pool, provided there is no cloud cover, just get up before 6am to do that.

    Fabulous accommodations, much better than I expected, I would suggest travelers book excursions directly at the lodge ( even if you are staying at bungalows) with Nikki, Thomas or Nathan as soon as you arrive, then RELAX for the week!!!! The bungalows are a short walk on the beach from the lodge and dive shop, Don’t miss the oven pizza at the bungalows,

    A small cosy village with real people & village life.

    A small cosy village with real people & village life. Rough & beautiful and unspoilt by big hotel operators. Well located for exploring the south & east coast that have plenty things to do- fishing, swimming with dolphins & snorkeling near Mnemba island. Visiting Pungume island, BBQs on sand banks, visiting caves near Paje etc. Jambiani is close to Paje that is more busier and more expensive. I would recommend staying in Jambiani if you prefer peace & quiet. It is definitely more local & unspoilt.

    Great location in Zanzibar. Jambiani doesn't have big resorts and loud beach bars. Its great place to relax and enjoy the beach. The village is vibrant, local people are friendly and welcoming towards travelers.

    Jambiani is beautiful and very local.

    Jambiani is beautiful and very local. It is much more quiet and less touristy than paje and other places. It is not as modern and walking though the local village on the back road is amazing. People are friendly and welcoming. The local restaurants are well priced with big portions. Pishi restaurant was very good and much cheaper than the beach front restaurant’s. The little local shops are much cheaper than the main super market on the main road. There are a few beach boys but nothing like paje. We paid 50 dollars for 8 of us to go on one of the local boats out to the lagoon at low tide to snorkel! That was the highlight of our trip!

    Had an enjoyable, relaxing stay but it's not really for beach bunnies - the high and low tides in Jambiani are quite significant so you likely won't have access to the beach all day. Definitely try Mpishi restaurant close to the main road - excellent food and service.

    Jambiani is quiet in general compared to nearby Paje. There are only a few rooms on the premises which means that the premises can never get too crowded. The property is well maintained and everything is clean. Breakfast was great at the hotel however its costs $15 per adult per day. Sandwiches are available to order from the hotel. Pizza and pasta can be ordered from a partner hotel.
