Best place at Zanzibar?

Fantstic place by a beautiful beach with limited number of other resorts. We had the luxury of staying at the Sunset Villa just by the sea and beautiful sunsets. The Aya Beach team treated us as royals and always with a smile. Special thanks to Salim, Ireme, Juma, Flora and Julian!

Quiet nice beach front oasis!

Really quiet nice place. Good beach for swimming to be Zanzibar! Charming villa with outdoor bath - wich was a bit unpractical when the rain season was starting those days. But worth the stay! Plenty of food for fullboard .

It deserves the 5 stars! Everything was just as good as it can be! The rooms super clean and with a very nice vibe! The Pool so welcoming. The many sitting and laying possibilities in a wonderful garden adds to it. Speechless! To top it all, it was the People! The staff where amazing! So friendly and always with a smile, ready to help you on anything.

Aya and the surrounding beach were incredible! The facilities were more than I could have hoped for and the staff top notch. I underestimated how remote and underdeveloped Kazimkazi was- while I felt safe, so many people trying to sell me something made me not want to leave the hotel. (There is no ATM in town!) An unexpected highlight were the Maasai staff! Absolute pleasure having the opportunity to get to know more about that community. I would absolutely recommend and will return.

Aya Beach Stay

Aya Beach resort is a really lovely and quiet hotel tucked away in the corner of the beach. It has direct access to the beach and when the tide is up, you can go from the stairs to the ocean and have a swim. The food was really tasty and had good sized portions, they have specials that change daily which is a nice touch. If you fancy changing it up a bit, there is a really amazing local restaurant about 5 minute walk down the beach, called Sunset which serves amazing seafood at a good price. The beach is hard to relax on when the tide is up, but around the pool is full of sand so it gives you the vibe you are sitting on the beach anyway. The one negative, which is not Aya’s fault is the beach is full of beach boys trying to drag you in for a chat to sell you an excursion, which after a while becomes really annoying! You just need to tell them no and ask them to leave you alone. Stay away from a person called Mr Cool, he will not give you a nice experience and will not pay the local people their deserved money if you pay him. Overall, a lovely stay and we would recommend to others if staying in Kizimkazi.

I wish I could’ve stayed longer. Aya Beach is a perfect place for a relaxing getaway. I was only able to stay for 2 nights on a solo trip, but will try and return with family for a longer stay. The room was excellent and well maintained, with a comfortable bed. The shower had good water pressure and warmed very quickly. The service was excellent as well, with friendly and attentive staff at reception, restaurant and bar. I really appreciated the beachfront gym facility and the pool was perfect for cooling off. The stairs down to the beach were very handy as well. Highly recommended.
Unit #3, cozy and very comfortable.
The resort grounds.
Fish curry for lunch.
An idyllic spot to exercise.

The property is beautifully located on a quiet beach, with breathtaking sunsets. The bungalows have been recently redone, every detail in the room and bathroom remind you of Africa. Very clean, with wonderful staff ( lead by the manager, Mr. Luis), good fresh, tasty food ( fruit, fish and seafood, freshly squeezed juice) and good cocktails. Definitely coming back!
