On the wast coast of Zanzibar the beaches maybe yellow sand rather than white but you are more likely to be able to swim at all hours even with the tide out. Imani Beach is ideally located close to Stone Town. A 10,000 shilling taxi drive or 300 shillings on a dala dala. We stayed a week and found the... More

Had a fantastic stay at the Imani Lodge, a warm welcome, staff cannot do enough for you. The atmosphere is extreamely relaxed, amazing views from the tree house, especially on sunset. Would highly recommened this lodge.... Thanks to Tito, Hadji 1 Hadji 2 & Simon More

This is our second time at Imani and third visit to Zanzibar, and the first time we've returned to a place outside of South Africa. First visit was February 2011. As first time visitors as Europeans (yes, we're actually Swedish) it could be overwhelming. The humidity, the 'pole pole' (it is Swahili for slowly) but to be honest the most... More

We had such a great stay at Imani. The atmosphere is extremely relaxed and welcoming with all of the staff being very helpful and friendly. The rooms are simple but large and elegant. The restaurant area is informal and a great place to enjoy a very tasty (and very reasonable) meal including fresh local seafood. The treehouse bar is fantastic... More

Imani Beach Villa is a small, beautiful and friendly hotel just outside Stone Town. I couldn't have asked for more from my stay.

It was without a doubt my most favourite of all the places we stayed... More

Imani Beach is a really a good place to be able to relax in Zanzibar and discover the island, especially Stone Town as it is not far. The team is really nice and helpful and so chilled out, and Simon helped us prepare our trip beforehand, answering all the many questions we had by email! The food is yummy, not... More

We had the most wonderful family holiday in the Imani Beach Villa. We are a couple of old dodderers in our fifties with two grown up daughters, so it was tricky to find a place which would suit us all. We were really lucky to have found this fantastic place. Its location, close to Stone Town is great, as it... More
