Company info

We run a family business. We moved to Zanzibar from Europe for the love of the ocean, beach, coconut palms and sun :) We will try to make you feel at home <3 Sylwester is a chef who will ensure that the standard of the cuisine is exceptional. We decorated the interior ourselves, each room is different and has an undeniable atmosphere. In the common area you will find a small shop with our products - from hand-prepared pickles and jams to hand-made jewelry. We invite you to taste our island lifestyle with us :)

Property info

OCEAN BOHO House is a family business. We have 9 rooms that can accommodate 18-21 people and a restaurant. Our facility also has a swimming pool, relaxation area and a small shop. All rooms are equipped with fans, almost all (except the small bungalow) have air conditioning. We have euro plugs. Bathrooms are built according to European standards. All our rooms have balconies or terraces (including sofas or table and chairs). We provide free WiFi in case you want to share great photos of your stay with family and friends or work remotely. There are occasional power outages on the island, but this happens more often during the season. In order to be as eco-friendly as possible, we kindly inform you that we do not have a generator. But there are several places in the area that can provide power and Wi-Fi access during power outages.

Neighborhood info

The biggest attraction is, of course, the turquoise ocean and the amazing beach located only a 2-minute walk from our facility. At the same time, our location in the village of Jambiani allows you to get acquainted with the life and customs of the locals. Jambiani is located close to attractions such as freshwater caves, the beautiful Mtende beach, fishing villages from where you can go on expeditions to observe dolphins, whales and sea turtles, the famous The Rock restaurant and many others. We will be happy to advise you where to go and help you organize :)
