Experience
Pools & Garden
It’s hard to say what’s the best thing about the grounds that surround Qambani: the splendid pools for endless afternoons in the water, the exotic gardens with palms and sunbirds – planted by one of East Africa’s best gardeners – or the Indian Oceans’ craggy coral edge with seaviews splashed all the way along the front.
A little stroll down through the grounds takes you to five wooden steps and the shore. From June to November, a miles-long white sand beach curls around the headland. From December to May, a smaller beach is no more than ten minutes walk away on the coral at low tide.
Livingroom
Room is an understatement: over forty wooden louvre doors open all sides to terraces and sunlight. At its heart, vast spreading sofas frame a giant timber table strewn with curiosities and bowls of shells.
Not at all party shy, this extensive room has a fully equipped bar at the eastern end, and there’s a serious sound system throughout. There’s also a different chair in which to read every chapter of your book.
Dining
You can feast and entertain all over this generous property. The master table can be elegantly laid in the timber dining room, with louvre doors that open three whole sides to the air and light.
Outside in the grounds, you can go poolside with a barbecue, or lounge on the main terrace in the softness of the evening. Or peel off at dusk to the sundowner rooftop, right on the ocean’s edge.
Movies & Gym
Retreat from the tyranny of unlimited watersports to some indoor entertainment. A cosy room cum study is set back from the main sitting room, with a large HD TV with satellite channels, a selection of DVDs, and nice comfy sofas.
The next room off the courtyard is a small gym, with bicycle and rowing machines, ballet bar and mirrors. Like the rest of the house, it has a wi-fi connection and state of the art Sonos wireless sound system.
Water Sports & Island Activities
At Qambani, we offer a range of water sports activities such as snorkelling, diving, kiteboarding, stand up paddle boarding and kayaking – with all the equipment available on-site.
Alternatively, we also offer arrange of tours and excursions from dhow trips, sand bank picknicks to spice and Stone Town tours. All Zanzibar-based activities and excursions with our recommended partners are easily arranged on-site during your stay.

“Our honeymoon destination” – December 2022
We spent almost a full week at Qambani and we never wanted to leave. There are so many beautiful resorts to choose from when looking at places to stay on the water in Zanzibar and we were beyond pleased with our time here. We came in June, so on the shoulder season, and there were few other guests checked in, so it felt exclusive and luxurious to have most of the space to ourselves. The staff, lead my Myta, treated us exquisitely, and were so warm, welcoming, and inviting. Staring at the water each day, whether from your room, by the many pools, the lounge area by the large living space, or on the sand itself is so peaceful and calming. The food was delicious, the service impeccable, and the hotel stunning. It looked like they were starting to build another section of the hotel on the grounds, so I cannot wait to see what the future resort will look like. Thank you so much for hosting us on our honeymoon and making it so memorable.

“paradise to relax & recharge” – December 2023
the property is secluded which is exactly what we were looking for. When we did want to venture into town transfers were handled and it was always smooth and straightforward. The food was spectacular! you can request to eat anywhere on the property to enjoy whatever view you’re feeling (pool, lobby, room etc). Each day a few options for lunch were shared, and a set menu for dinner. Food was fresh, generous portions and scrumptious. We got a nice mixture of Zanzibari cuisine and international options.

“Qambani is a one off a kind experience” – February 2023
We had the pleasure to stay one week at the Castaway Villa. The complete team did an amazing job fulfilling the promise to provide a home far away from home and to go even beyond. Our holidays literally started the moment we got of the airport and ended when the driver dropped us. Everything in between was taken care of including organizing day trips. The facilities as well as the food are one of a kind and if you are looking for top of the notch service paired with pure privacy then this is your choice.
