Babu Villas

The entire experience was nothing short of amazing. This place is just beautiful with a relaxed vibe. The villas was clean, comfortable, with all amenities that we needed, we stayed 6 days and wish we could have stayed more. We are a family of 5 (2 adults 3 kids), visiting Zanzibar for the first time. Babu villas was the perfect oasis (right on the beach) while still allowing us an authentic experience (being part of the surrounding village). Perhaps one of the most special things about this place is the feeling of warmth and welcome form the staff. Theresa was just wonderful. She was there to welcome us and provided a wonderful orientation to the place and the village. She was always available to us, checked in on us daily, and made us feel so at home. The whole experience was unparalleled having her as a personal resource to us during our stay. This provided us peace of mind and so much rich information. Moana and the rest of the staff were also wonderful. We will definitely come back and stay here again!

During our journey, everything was perfect! The whole staff, and especially Theresa, were always kind and available, ready to help us in every situation and to give us advice about the best activities and restaurants to experience here! A perfect environment both for families and couples, particularly for those who want to avoid mass tourism! The view was amazing, in front of the seaside, with an ever-clean pool where to daily relax. Thanks again Theresa :)

Beautiful villas-stunning beachside location. Perfect place for a getaway and total relaxation.

The boho design is beautiful! Loved the tranquility of the place.

Breakfast could have had more options or varied over the days

Our family had an unforgettable time at Babu Villa. My 4-year-old and 10-year-old were constantly torn between the pool and the ocean – like they had to choose between two paradises! One minute they were in the pool, the next they were running to the beach. With a stunning turquoise ocean view just steps away, we’ll definitely be back soon!

Nothing to no like, my family really enjoyed

Everything - great location, lovely staff, amazing breakfast, villa was spacious & clean & well maintained. Couldn’t have been better.

Babu Villas are purely enchanting! In the apartment, I felt like I was staying over the crystalline waters of the Indian Ocean thanks to the large windows all around the room - absolutely magical! Everything was beyond perfect (including the fiber internet), but the most enchanting was the loving generosity of its owners and their A-Team: they will instantly make you feel a member of their family, being very true to the charisma of "Babu’s" and "Bibi’s" ('grand-parents' in Swahili'): warm and secure, genuine and treasuring. Much gratitude to them! I wholeheartedly recommend Babu Villas and their wonderful hosts!

Wow wow wow! What a gem in Jambiani! We loved absolutely everything, from the quality of the accommodation, the friendly and helpful staff to the location and access to the beach and the many restaurants nearby. Selina, the property manager was friendly, approachable and an asset to the team, whilst the ladies on site every day were all incredible. They couldn’t do enough for you. Breakfast far surpassed our expectations. They went out of their way to ensure our dietary requirements were met, and everyday they provided us with so much yummy food and fruits. The transfer from the airport was organised and stress free. We loved watching the sunrise every morning from our terrace. Jambiani is slightly quieter than other parts of the island which we loved and the property is so peaceful, despite being 3 apartments it’s quiet and everyone is respectful. This was our favourite part of our trip to Zanzibar and in hindsight, wish we’d stayed longer than the 4 nights we had. Highly recommend!!!

This is a gem of a property, it's clean, spacious and perfectly put together. The breakfast is delicious, and the Team are excellent. Our daughter fell in love with Rehima, and the housekeeping staff. Selina was extremely helpful and welcoming, as were the security. A perfect place to stay in Jambiani!

That we had to leave.
