The property was cozy and clean, and everything as described. The owner was very nice and engaged, and provided us with recommendations both for our stay in Nungwi and onwards on Zanzibar. The property is very close to the beach and great dining options.

It was a great experience staying in Tikibeach resort.To start with the hotel setting, it was perfect, next to the beach,the pool next to beach was perfect. Rooms are massive and clean, and bathrooms were neat.They take good care of hygiene, which is really good. Staff members were super kind and always ready to help. Need to mention the names like Ramazan,Bhutan, and Salehi. Overall, the stay there was great. If I get a chance, I would definitely come and see them again in Zanzibar. Good job done by all serving members.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The property is located right on a beautiful sandy beach with crystal-clear turquoise waters, making it the perfect spot to relax. The breakfast was a pleasant surprise, offering a good variety of options like meats, fresh fruits, and eggs made to order—though it’s not a buffet. The room was spacious and exceeded my expectations, and the bathroom was equally roomy. The water pressure was great, and I had a lovely sea view from the balcony. Internet was fast and reliable throughout my stay, which made working remotely a breeze. Plus, the hotel has a generator, so there were no issues with power outages. During the day, I enjoyed working in a quiet, shaded area of the hotel, and in the evenings, I dined on fresh seafood with wine right on the patio by the sea—such a special experience. The owner was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing a detailed note with local price tips to avoid being overcharged, and sharing some great information about the island. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing, stress-free stay with good service and a beautiful setting!

I had the pleasure of staying at The Oasis Residence in Jambiani, and the experience was absolutely amazing! The hotel is newly opened, extremely modern, and very well maintained. The accommodation was spacious and very comfortable, with impeccable cleanliness. The property features two modern pools surrounded by numerous palm trees and lush vegetation, creating a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere. The hotel’s restaurant serves delicious food, and the staff is incredibly attentive and friendly. Additionally, the owners of this wonderful place are exceptionally hospitable and dedicated, making the experience even more special. Everything at The Oasis Residence offers a unique vibe that is hard to find elsewhere. I highly recommend everyone to book a stay here without hesitation when planning a trip to Zanzibar.

Beautiful beach with a decent selection of restaurants and bars. I loved the Fish Market restaurant and kept going back. Amazing blue sea, powder soft sand and great location for sunset. As a female solo traveller I didn’t like constant hassle from men dressed as Masai.

The place very unique like you are in a movie, refreshing to see how they lived in the 1800 and 1900, the environment is clean, the only thing I didn't like is that the hotel on the beach, released all the dirty water into the sea

Paje Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Zanzibar.

Paje Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Zanzibar. Long, wide, and naturally wild, with white sand, turquoise water, and endless space to breathe. The tides create constantly changing scenery, and the beach never feels crowded. Perfect for long walks, swimming at the right tide, and watching kitesurfers. Relaxed, authentic, and unspoiled — a place you want to return to.

Jambiani Beach is one of the most beautiful and authentic beaches in Zanzibar. Long stretches of soft white sand, calm turquoise waters, and a peaceful rhythm shaped by the tides create a place that feels untouched and timeless. Life here moves slowly — fishermen at dawn, women collecting seaweed, gentle evenings painted by the sunset. It is quiet, spacious, and deeply relaxing, yet full of character and soul. Perfect for long walks, swimming at high tide, and simply being present. Jambiani is not about crowds or noise — it is about beauty, simplicity, and harmony with nature. A beach that stays with you long after you leave.

Kiwengwa is an amazing place , only annoying this is the amount of African people that hassle you on the beach - men dressed as masi that are not from the the masi Maru tribe ( pretending they are ) and annoying you when you trying to enjoy a peaceful walk it is over bearing and no one wants that on their holiday - was most beaches in Zanzibar !!

Kendwa beach was definitely the best beach compared to Nungwi, especially the south part. Even in low tide it was easy to take a swim. Also the beach here is wider and feel less crowded. As on the complete stretch there were many people trying to sell you stuff but on the south part not so many ”permanent” sales people other than the ones having sheds. The Maasai roaming around are friendly but just say no with a smile and most will not be persistent in their effort to sell you something..
