About this property
Mwendawima Villa - beachfront, private pool, fully serviced
Mwendawima Villa is a private beach villa located in the village of Jambiani, overlooking the most beautiful lagoon in East Africa.
The villa has 4 bedrooms, swimming pool, AC in the bedrooms, tropical garden and a terrace with ocean views. It accommodates up to 8 guests:
1 En-suite master bedroom with direct access to ocean view terrace
1 En-suite double bedroom with garden view
2 double bedroom with garden view and shared bathroom
It comes with a dedicated team that takes care of everything from daily cleaning to preparing delicious meals to organising excursions. Your stay will be personalised to cater for your needs and preferences.
Mwendawima Villa is inspired by Swahili architecture and with a focus on your comfort.
The property has a pool, large sea view terrace with a bar, lounge, sun beds and dining areas. It comes with a well equipped kitchen, lounge and a beautiful private garden.
The daily rate includes housekeeping and breakfast, unlimited WiFi and security. At additional cost we offer excellent lunches and dinners.
Mwendawima Villa is situated in a charming fishing village of Jambiani, on the south-east coast of Zanzibar. Jambiani is known for the most dramatic lagoon, with traditional fishing, seaweed farming, snorkelling and kite surfing on your door step. There are plenty of boutique hotels and restaurants for food and drinks, but we insist you try our team's authentic cooking.
Our location is perfect for both experiencing the real Zanzibari village and taking advantage of the best day trips and activities Zanzibar has to offer.
Due to the nature of electricity supply in Zanzibar, you might experience occasional government power cuts, which might temporarily affect the electricity and water supply. These events are not frequent and this is not due to a fault or issue with our property amenities.
If you need power during a power cut please ask the staff to switch on the generator.
PLEASE NOTE: in the unlikely event of a power cut the backup generator does NOT permit the use of air conditioning.
