Mwendawima Villa is a private beach villa located in the village of Jambiani, overlooking the most beautiful lagoon in East Africa.

The villa has 4 bedrooms, swimming pool, tropical garden and a terrace with ocean views. It accommodates up to 8 guests:

1 En-suite master bedroom with direct access to ocean view terrace

2 double bedrooms with garden view and shared bathroom (air-conditioned)

It comes with a dedicated team that takes care of everything from daily cleaning to preparing delicious meals to organising excursions. Your stay will be personalised to cater for your needs and preferences.

Mwendawima Villa is inspired by Swahili architecture and with a focus on your comfort.

The property has a swimming pool, large sea view terrace with a bar, lounge, sun beds and dining areas. It comes with a well equipped kitchen, lounge and a beautiful private garden.

The daily rate includes housekeeping and breakfast, unlimited WiFi and security. At additional cost we offer excellent lunches and dinners.

Mwendawima Villa is situated in a charming fishing village of Jambiani, on the south-east coast of Zanzibar. Jambiani is known for the most dramatic lagoon, with traditional fishing, seaweed farming, snorkelling and kite surfing on your door step. There are plenty of boutique hotels and restaurants for food and drinks, but we insist you try our team's authentic cooking.

Our location is perfect for both experiencing the real Zanzibari village and taking advantage of the best day trips and activities Zanzibar has to offer.
