Great private villa in bwejuu just minutes by car to pajee beach our stay included free breakfast from a wide menu which was awesome, the owner is very welcoming and helpful in introducing everything around, the villa is on the beach directly, the beach isnt so crowded only locals and people renting villas around which is a plus for us, the villas has a washing machine and a fully equipped kitchen also and is cleaned daily by the housekeeper, highly recommend 👍🏼

I can't say enough about this place. My experience was absolutely amazing. Chunga Changa is located in a small quiet road so you can have privacy and peace. The beach is just 10 minutes within walking distance. The room is spacious, clean and well decorated with rustic decors. The host, Sabrina, went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Definitely try the food there as well as they are affordable and delicious. Totally recommend!

Villa Unaweza wasn't just a place to stay, it was an experience. It was a home away from home, filled with impeccable hospitality, thoughtful touches(surprised me with the best cake on my birthday), and unforgettable moments. If you're seeking a slice of paradise with a side of genuine human connection, look no further. Sylvia, Aga, Fau, Fridah, Felix and Denge made me feel truly welcomed and cared for.Also... if you're looking for some pampering, do not miss the massage and body scrub...it was the most blissfully indulgent hour of my entire trip!

Olamanga Beach Villa Adults Only

Jambiani

A good location for a stress-free getaway in Jambiani, Olamanga Beach Villa Adults Only is a guest house surrounded by views of the garden.

S

Olamanga was exactly what I needed. A wonderful property with sand everywhere, a gorgeous lounge area with pool and lush tropical surroundings that made it incredibly easy to just switch off and unwind. There are plenty of spots to lounge around the property, and I genuinely spent a lot of my three nights here simply enjoying the space rather than venturing out. Ralu and Lee who run the property are genuine, friendly, and supportive with any request. The staff are equally helpful and attentive. The in-house restaurant and bar serves meals throughout the day with a great cook, so you never feel the need to go far for food. My terrace room was a decent size with a very generous seating area and its own kitchenette, well equipped, clean, and provided with all the essentials. A lovely touch I didn't anticipate was Ralu's aromatherapy diffuser in the room. I didn't think much of it at first but after spending enough time there, the difference in ambience was genuinely noticeable and added to the overall sense of calm. The beach is a one-minute walk away and absolutely gorgeous, noticeably less crowded than other beaches on the island. In-house massage services can also be arranged. And if you love cats, two resident ones are always lounging around the property. Give them a few pets from me.

We adored our stay at Wow Beach House! Haji and his beautiful family were incredibly generous hosts!! Breakfast was amazing each morning on their gorgeous little patio. The prepared dinner was fabulous. And the room itself was huge, adorably decorated for our arrival, spotless, and incredibly comfortable as a retreat in hot/rainy weather. We loved it so much that we spent a bit too much time there when we should have been exploring haha! Thank you, Haji and family, for your hospitality and kindness! Every morning, we did indeed say “WOWWW!” 😃

Lovely clean villa with a real holiday feel. The manager Iman is a real gentleman and super helpful. All the staff are vey polite and do a great job. The nearby beach is amazing where you can get snorkeling excursions or rent jet skis and other water sports items. The beach is a 10 to15 minutes walk from the villas

The Villa suited us we rented both apartments for the entire family so we had sole access to the pool and outdoor facilities. The staff were absolutely amazing and made our trip the best yet. They did so much to accommodate us in any way and made us all feel so welcome and special. The cleaners were spot on also, the rooms were clean to a good standard and the pool was very well kept! Breakfast in the mornings was also very good

The staff was amazing (thank you Adil, Jenny and Lucy) and helpful, the villa and view are beautiful, it’s in a quiet area which was great after 2 weeks in Paje/Jambiani. The breakfast is really good and the chef cooked for us what we wanted every evening. We loved every bit of our stay

For the price, it's veru good value. It's in the middle of the village so walking back at night can be just pitch black, though not dangerous. For a male traveller, its perfectly fine. Would not recommend for solo female traveller. The owner is very nice, he can help organise day trip or tour

Villa Kiota is a gem of a boutique hotel a short walk from the beach. The breakfast was great and included local fruit, fresh juice and lots of healthy and/or filling options. My partner especially liked the fresh bread with guacamole and cheese. The staff were very helpful and friendly. They helped us plan tours, arrive at the right locations, and find a post office box for our postcards. Also, there are numerous great restaurants within a few minutes' walk on the beach. This hotel is an incredible value for all it has to offer.

Lovely hotel consisting of private villas only, surrounded by a garden. Gives a lot of privacy and has vibes of Ubud in Bali. Extremely comfortable bed and very quiet during the night. And of course most welcoming hosts.
