This must have been one of the best experiences of my travelling life! First, the Villa - it is a modern villa (a little unusual for Matemwe) with white-washed walls and warm accents throughout, right on the beach at the north end of the village of Matemwe (Kigomani). The view from my second floor terrace was amazing. It has a swimming pool which I sadly did not get to use. The bed was extremely comfortable, the bathroom was generous and convenient. The hosts, Paulette and Didier, were just wonderful! I was treated better than just a guest - the dinners were a family affair with lively conversation and wonderful food and wine. Staff were impeccable and always available to help. I arrived early than the standard check-in time, but my room was ready and I was glad I could get some rest after a whole morning of travelling.

We stayed at Villa Tulia as a group of 6 and had an absolutely amazing experience. The villa is stunning, very clean, and comes with great amenities. What truly made our stay special was the incredible staff – Paul, the always-helpful property manager, the resident chef who prepared delicious meals, the housekeepers, security team, and gardeners – everyone was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of. Every morning we were treated to a fantastic breakfast with a wide variety of fresh options, which we looked forward to daily. The villa is perfect if you're looking for privacy and peace – it has direct access to the beach, and most days it felt like we had the entire shore to ourselves, free from vendors or crowds. We also felt very safe, with round-the-clock security. The beach is ideal for long walks, morning swims, or stargazing at night – truly magical. There's also a small kitchen available if you ever feel like cooking. Also worth mentioning is Sam, the villa’s recommended driver, who was amazing and stayed with us throughout our entire trip. He was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and enriched our rides with fascinating insights about Zanzibar. He also helped us organize excursions and day trips, making everything smooth and enjoyable. If you're looking for a quiet, luxurious, and private stay in Zanzibar with top-notch service, Villa Tulia is the place to go. We can’t thank the whole team enough – we had an unforgettable stay and would return in a heartbeat!

Perfect vacation accommodation, designed in the style of Zanzibar, located right on the coast with a beautiful beach. The room is spacious, with the option of using air conditioning and fans, and has a lovely terrace. There's a beautifully landscaped yard with a pool (which is realistically unnecessary when you have the sea) and a large terrace on the adjacent building where you can stay and dine. Food si great and the prices are acceptable. Communication with the owner was excellent; they offered and organized some local activities, car rental, and a visit to a nearby school. A special commendation goes to the staff who were more than excellent.

An amazing stay at Milele Villas. We got welcomed by Hannes the manager and our personal staff with a welcome drink. Both very friendly and welcoming gentleman. Hannes referred to have a candle light dinner out at the seaside, which we gladly agreed to. It was a sweet, romantic experience. Tell your wish and it gets fulfilled, and sometimes you don't even have to tell. Very attentive staff. All food is cooked or baked freshly and served at the time wished for. Even breakfast marmalade was homemade. Everywhere it's spotless clean. It is safe and a quiet relaxing atmosphere. A real little paradise and gem on Zanzibar. Manager and staff were exceptional! Asante sana sana!

The place is beautiful, very luxurious, with great attention to detail, and spotlessly clean. It looks exactly like in the pictures, and the bed is extremely comfortable. The sea is really close to the room. Ramadan, who manages the place, is very attentive, kind, and always willing to help. We asked him for something and he came right away, even though it was his day off (which of course we didn’t know). He is incredibly helpful and pleasant.
