All bedrooms have A/C as well as fans. Aside from the Master-bedroom, the bedrooms have 2 single beds that can be combined into Kings. Watch the sunrise from the comfort of your bed!

Each villa is spacious and spread over 2 floors. There is a terrace on the ground floor and a veranda upstairs with sun loungers and a private plunge pool. The villas are located directly on the beach.

Children will enjoy the playground, pool and kiddie’s menu in the restaurant.

Kijani’s restaurant provides international and locally inspired dishes to satisfy every need. From uncomplicated food to more complex taste, they cover a wide range of flavours. 

Lunch and dinner can be eaten in the beautiful ocean facing restaurant. All dishes are made with fresh local ingredients so you can expect a blend of local Zanzibari flavours as well as international cuisine. With the sea on your doorstep there will always be an abundance of fresh fish and seafood!

The complimentary breakfast can be served on your own veranda or enjoyed in the restaurant. It includes something for every taste! Start with coffee or tea and a delicious freshly squeezed juice, fresh fruit and a freshly made bread roll. For those wanting a healthy start to the day, choose homemade granola and yoghurt, coconut chia pudding or banana oat pancakes. Normal pancakes, eggs and shakshuka are on offer too.

The kid’s menu is especially designed for your child’s needs: simple but delicious and healthy food. Kijani has highchairs for babies and smaller children – and a special play corner with rotating toys to keep them entertained.

Kijani Beach Villas is a family-oriented boutique hotel, and all of their facilities and services are created with families in mind.

The child-friendly pool has 3 parts: a baby pool – with a height of only 30cm – is perfect for the little ones to splash around in (and maybe even experience the first swim of their lives!)

The second part is a 60cm deep pool, with a short slide and an island to play on or around – creating room for lots of imagination, whilst cooling down in the water.

The deeper part of the pool (up to 1.80m) is to enjoy swimming and playing water games.

Besides the beautiful beaches there are many more things to discover about Zanzibar. Visit the UNESCO world heritage site of Stone Town, go on a blue safari or inhale the smells of the spices the island is so well known for.

  • Laze by your own plunge pool or enjoy the larger communal pool
  • Go kitesurfing or enjoy the nightlife in Paje – just 10 minutes away
  • Book an excursion, such as a spice tour or a snorkeling trip to the Mnemba Atoll
  • Go up to Kuza cave in Jambiani or visit the seaweed factory

Kijani has created a playground area for their smaller guests, to continue the fun outside of the water. With a climbing tower, a swing and a tree hut there is lots of space to play!

Book a treatment with Kijani’s spa team to start your holiday in the best way possible!

Kijani offers a range of treatments such as massages, manicures, pedicures and hair braiding. They even have a Japanese-trained chiropractor to realign your body. All in the comfort of your own villa.
