The best hotels Jambiani

This small, intimate hotel in the second row near the beach is a good plan for modest budgets, while offering original decoration: each room is enhanced by a mural created by a different local artist. The central house is centered on a small swimming pool bordered by pretty vegetation. The rooms are sober and charming, with ceiling fans and/or air conditioning, tea/coffee making facilities and simple but functional bathrooms. The beachside restaurant serves fine Swahili specialties.

This charming new address on Jambiani beach has just six rooms. They are very inspired, with Swahili arabesques sculpting the openings, beautiful flooring, exposed beams and cut-wood partitions. The makuti roofs shelter terraces furnished with hammocks or sofas. Some are air-conditioned. The restaurant serves fusion, Mediterranean and Swahili cuisine. Refreshing pool in the garden.

Here's an innovative hotel in Zanzibar that relies on the serenity of beige and white, the omnipresence of natural materials, sophisticated, uncluttered design and beautifully crafted furnishings to offer a soothing, chic ambience, ideal for a relaxing vacation. Designed with honeymooners in mind, romantic dinners can be arranged on the beach, as well as a range of activities and excursions for all. Rooms are designed for couples in particular, but families can stay in a villa or large suite.
