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 Jambiani, Sharazād Boutique Hotel offers a garden and two pools. Zanzibar City is 25 mi away. Some units have a terrace and/or patio. Each unit is fitted with a private bathroom.

Its a green-energy focused resort, and outstanding serenity and tranquility in the area of the hotel. Beautiful and empathic staff they have. Unfortunately i had to cut my holiday short and travel back to my home, they were understanding to an extent and they refunded a portion of my money back. Still grateful for that. Will definitely consider this hotel when i come back to you Zanzibar

Located in Jambiani, a few steps from Jambiani Beach, Kupaga Villas Boutique Hotel - Adults Only provides accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

the first thing is that the manager on duty makes a huge difference. And Charlotte was a gracious and friendly host. I was feeling sick and she provided help as possible. and always open to feedback and improvements. the place is right on the beach. it’s next to diving center and also kite surfing. quiet and not too crowded. about 15 mins away is Paje with more shops and activities. there is a nice pool here. rooms are tasteful— not luxury, but nice. food was amazing. try the jumbo shrimp appetizer and chicken strips.

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.

Mamamapambo was the perfect place for me after traveling throughout Africa for 4 weeks. I was looking for some place that was quiet and small and they did not disappoint. My room was mere steps from the pool and the beach. I barely left the property and was barefoot the whole time. Staff makes you feel so welcomed and like family.

    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.

    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.

    There are only two words to describe my stay and my first time in Zanzibar: the best! The hotel, situated in Jambiani’s calm area but not so far from bars and restaurants, had a very stylish luxurious design and a breathtaking view on the white beach. I felt always so spoiled with the delicious breakfast (amongst which pancakes and fresh fruit!) and French haute cuisine dinner in the evenings. Certainly the very friendly staff and the nice hotel owners made me feel very welcome. Thank you for making my stay perfect and hope to see you soon!

    Bamboo Design Hotel is the place to stay if you are looking for peaceful and relaxing time. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning, with a design that embodies modern looking, but keeps a touch of Zanzibar style, the views from the pool and restaurant are breathtaking, the staff is very nice, ready to help and they make you feel spoiled, and there is THE FOOD, which was the most delicious, from snacks, to breakfast, lunch and dinner - TASTY!

    if you’re looking for a laidback vibe, amazing people and comfortable place in Zanzibar. This is it! it has direct beach access, a nice pool and probably some of the best food / breakfast. They have an amazing massage service too which I would highly recommend. The people that work there are absolutely amazing too! we loved our time there and can’t wait to go back one day.

The house is in a quite place, in a small countriside village, 200m from the beach and from transports.. If I go back zanzibar I'll stay here again, for sure! Thanks Mau and Sabrina! :-)

    Coziness. I could sit at the veranda all day and just watch the view and sip authentic Zanzibari coffee. The vast ocean is few steps away from the doorstep and this home is definitely located in a heart of Jambiani. Great access to the beach. Great staff. Good vibe. Something that tells you-pole pole-just relax and keep watching the ocean. Or the Sunrises!
