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.

Self Catering
Each of Nyumbani’s apartments is fitted with a fully equipped kitchen which includes a fridge freezer, microwave, cooker, cooking utensils, plates, cutlery and more to ensure you can cook delicious meals from the comfort of your home.
A welcome basket containing coffee, tea and other essentials are provided upon your arrival. Once settled in, several shops nearby sell fresh and dried produce and friendly staff at Nyumbani will be happy to advise you on the best places to source anything you need.
A perk of opting to self-cater on your holiday is the added flexibility of cooking and eating out as you desire. Therefore, Nyumbani Residence has partnered with several restaurants and hotels within walking distance to provide residents with a discounted rate on dining.
Experience
Pool
All apartments are positioned around the pools for easy access and scenic pool views. With two pool areas at the heart of the property, each offer sun loungers, shaded areas and a great place to relax and enjoy the breeze while taking in Nyumbani’s ambience. Take a dip in the pool and unwind between your adventures.

“Absolutely beautiful would stay here again“ – December 2023
This place is wonderful, it feels so peaceful, private and safe and the pool is gorgeous. The beach is a short walk away and it really feels like a calm environment. The best part about this stay were the hosts! Paola is amazing!! So kind and fun and gave us great recommendations for local food! She went above and beyond duty as a host.

“The apartment was well equipped…” – December 2023
We were able to spend 11 days here and felt totally at home. The apartment was well equipped, WiFi worked well and we were able to have breakfast on the terrace every morning. The pool was always a good way to cool off. The entire team was super friendly and helpful. Many thanks to Paola and her team for the hospitality, the great tips and every single smile.

“Best place to stay in Jambiani“ – January 2023
First of all, I want to say a huge thank you to Paula and her team! They did everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Paula is an incredibly warm and welcoming person and this creates a beautiful aura in the place. The bungalow we stayed in was comfortable with a fully equipped kitchen. The huge advantage for me was the strong WiFi as I work remotely. Also, the swimming pools are really lovely. The whole residence has a very relaxed and serene atmosphere thanks to the amazing people working there who truly live out their passion for hospitality. The walk to the beach is just 2-3 min with lots of restaurants and bars. Overall, I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Zanzibar!
