Jambiani
The Oasis Residence has an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, a garden and bar in Jambiani. With free WiFi, this 3-star hotel offers room service and a tour desk. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and often anticipated our needs before we even asked. The food was delicious, our villa modern, spacious and spotlessly clean, and the overall service top-notch. One of the highlights was the Swahili night, featuring fantastic local dishes and an unforgettable acrobat performance. We also treated ourselves to a relaxing massage during our stay— just what we needed after our safari adventures. Although not beachfront, the resort is just a short walk through Jambiani village to the sea, or you can take a shuttle to one of their partner beachfront properties, which are equally well-designed and welcoming. That said, we actually preferred the peaceful charm of the Oasis itself. We’d come back in a heartbeat—and in fact, we’re already planning our return in 2026!

The inside had all the modern amenities including a minibar - soft drinks were free and replenishable as well as a large variety of teas. We lived the amazing breakfast spread each morning served to our villa, staff were very helpful and friendly, Riccardo and the kitchen staff were always available. We loved having lunch and dinner options available from the kitchen and we were pleased with the food when we chose to have it. It was also very easy to walk to local restaurants along the beach which were delicious and low cost. Many activities are bookable through the villa and we even availed ourselves of the massage therapist. It was also super helpful to be connected to a driver not only for airport transfers but also to get around the island. I will definitely return!

Waking up having a breathtaking view of the azure sea from private lodge - does not get much better than that! Add french-swahili kitchen, extremely attentive staff, dolphins and you get best of in Zanzibar. Discovery of the week, so glad we had chance to stay there!
The staff were absolutely unbelievable, wanted to name them all but lost the bit of paper that contained all their names: the room cleaners, the kitchen staff, reception and bar /waiting staff were friendly, helpful and made the hotel the best we stayed in by some margin in Zanzibar. We stayed at the Rui Jambo later and wished we had spent more time here.
Spacious appartement with air conditioning, drinking water, working kitchen, good internet and a balcony. The hotel complex is on the beach with beautiful views and near all the other restaurants and animated spot in Paje. There are some seating area near the pool and the beach but when the hotel is full it can be hard to find space. The breakfast is good, eggs and pancakes made on the spot, and you can buy special coffees (espresso, etc.). Staff is very friendly.
– Beautiful place: so many lovely details and chill-spots – super friendly and helpful team, really great persons – very good food at the hotel: compliment to the kitchen – Beach is clean – A lot of friendly people around and good restaurants: Make sure to visit 3-Brothers-Restaurant at the Beach. They are very kind-hearted people with good food.
Shivo Villa was just what our group needed: a clean, spacious & private place, fully fitted for self catering
Service was great. Salvina at reception was amazing, so helpful. Even arranged something to eat when I had arrived at the hotel late, after kitchen had closed.
The villa was great for our group - we were able to play music by the pool and not worry about bothering others. The villa is extremely spacious and has a well equipped kitchen and comfortable living area. The pool was great also and the outdoor seating are was perfect for relaxing outside. The taxi service was super handy and a great addition to the stay at Limiria.
