Welcome to

Nyumbani Residence

Nyumbani means “At Home” in Kiswahili, and this is the feeling we would like to extend to our guests. Twelve self-contained apartments provide quality and comfort for couples, families and groups of friends, offering a perfect self-catering base for your Zanzibar holiday.

Located on the outskirts of Jambiani, Nyumbani Residence is situated in a great location with a three-minute walk to one of Zanzibar’s best beaches, which invites you to relax or explore. Take a long walk on the beach, discover Jambiani and the coastline up to the bustling village of Paje, or try your hand at a range of water sports activities offered nearby.

Situated atop a small hill with a beautiful outlook, the property is frequently awash in a cool ocean breeze – most welcomed in Zanzibar’s tropical heat. Our apartments are designed for guests seeking great comfort and tranquility while taking in the island’s natural beauty. While your apartment has all the facilities to cook a delicious lunch or dinner yourself, plenty of restaurants are within walking distance and offer a variety of offers to our guests.

    “Super beautiful and cozy place with plenty of space and peace for families. Nice breakfast and nice hosts.”February 2023

    Lovely breakfast served on the terrace. Willingly take your needs into account. The staff are extremely service minded and flexible in terms of cleaning etc. The hosts were really welcoming and were available and helpful with whatever you needed. They were very open to families with children and our needs. The place was a little away from the beach in a nice quiet corner with plenty of opportunities to relax and use the communal pools.

    “Exceptional” – January 2023

    Eco friendly, perfect, comfortable, spacious accommodation, just what my family needed giving us the flexibility of self catering or enjoying the many restaurants located nearby and slightly further away – in Paje 10mins by taxi. Paola is a warm, welcoming, helpful host and all her staff are exceptional. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Nyumbani Residence.

    ExceptionalJanuary 2023

    I loved the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the accommodation. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the pool and garden were beautiful. I would highly recommend staying at this place to anyone who is interested in staying near Paje or Jambiani. The beach is only a short walk away, and if you have a car, you can easily visit the towns of Paje or Jambiani for more shopping and exploration. Additionally, the apartments have a kitchen, so if you would like to prepare some snacks or prepare something to eat, this is also possible. Finally, Paola and her husband were very welcoming and made us feel at home the moment we entered.
