Our cozy one-bedroom apartment is situated in our Kimurimuri Beachfront Villa, on one of Zanzibar’s last pristine beaches, and surrounded by a lush, mature tropical garden. It is the ideal place for beach and nature lovers seeking to experience Zanzibar’s authentic beauty and warm local hospitality, in quiet, safe surroundings, while still enjoying comfort and thoughtful amenities. We are a small local family business and will help you with everything you need to experience the real Zanzibar. The space The cozy one-bedroom apartment features a living area with scenic views over the entire beach bay, a fully equipped kitchen on the second floor, and an en-suite bedroom on the ground floor. The bedroom includes a tailor-made king-size bed, mosquito net, air conditioning, and ceiling fans, and it opens onto a terrace leading into the lush garden with a pool. The apartment accommodates 2–3 people. The whole Kimurimuri Villa consists of three separate apartments in total, meaning outdoor facilities are shared with fellow guests. However, the property remains very private and spacious. Our lush tropical garden invites guests to unwind and enjoy the serenity of nature. With plenty of hammocks and swings, you can relax while watching the turquoise tides of the Indian Ocean, the swaying coconut trees, and the fluttering butterflies—all accompanied by the soothing hum of colorful birds. Our deep-water pool is perfect for cooling off, relaxing with family, or simply unwinding in peaceful surroundings. The Kimurimuri garden also features a spacious outdoor area for barbecuing, dining, and socializing.

If you require high-speed internet for uninterrupted video calls or constant streaming, we recommend arranging your own connectivity solution to best suit your needs. Tides Zanzibar experiences strong tidal changes. These are a natural and beautiful part of the island’s coastal environment and vary throughout the seasons. Water & utilities The villa is equipped with fresh-water showers, which is quite unique for beachfront properties, and complimentary drinking water is provided throughout your stay. Check-in & check-out We kindly ask all guests to respect the official check-in time (after 1:00 PM) and check-out time (by 10:00 AM), as this allows our team sufficient time to prepare the villa. If the villa is unoccupied and ready, an early check-in or late check-out may be possible for an additional fee of 50% of the daily rate. Power & payments Power cuts and load shedding commonly occur on the island (especially during hot seasaon) and are beyond our control. To reduce inconvenience, the villa is equipped with a generator for essential power such as lighting and basic appliances. Please note that air conditioning does not operate while the generator is in use, as it is reserved for essential needs only. Zanzibar is largely a cash-based society. Foreign cards are not widely accepted. We recommend planning accordingly. We truly appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you.
