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 for enjoying sundowners...well, drinks at any time of the day really, but the best part of this hotel experience was the way we were looked after by Simon. He's on hand when you need him to be and melts into the background when you don't! He has clearly put a lot of care and thought into making the hotel a home away from home with an exotic twist.

50 Charachers isn't enough to describe this Hotel, it really is a piece of paradise, Simon and his team have created a Hotel, which feels like home. The food is beautiful, the rooms have a great feel, the individuals that work there are lovely, thank you to the 2 Hadjits, Abbas, Hussein - and your brother! Titu also. The area was safe, the bus into Stonetown was easy, the sunsets are a great reminder of how amazing creation is! The treehouse is an area that fosters travellers sharing tales of thier journeys thus far - I can't wait to go back! I was a woman travelling alone and not once felt uncomfortable - don't look elsewhere - book it!

Imani Beach Villa is a small, beautiful and friendly hotel just outside Stone Town. I couldn't have asked for more from my stay. Beautiful rooms, lovely gardens, delicious food and lots of cute little corners to relax in, the tree house bar being a particular higlight. It was without a doubt my most favourite of all the places we stayed on our visit to Zanzibar.

The manager Simon, was so helpful and even before we arrived was happy to help us with our travel arrangements and recommend trips for us. Tito was also wonderful and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived.

In fact it is the staff that make the place so special. They were all really friendly and happy to assist you with anything they could. Another worth a special mention was Jordan, who was the night manager at Imani. He in particular went above and beyond to make our stay really enjoyable and totally memorable. He was an excellent host, very attentive, and makes some seriously delicious cocktails. He was really dedicated to making sure we didn't want for anything and helped to make sure we had our three best nights on the island staying at Imani.

I totally loved staying at Imani and would definitely recommend this place to anyone considering a visit to Zanzibar. Thank you to everyone for making our stay so perfect :)

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 expensive. The rooms are clean and very nice with biiiiiiiiig beds. The place is calm and we slept very well.
Location was perfect for us to visit Stone Town for a few days, just a quick drive away.
The spice tour is a must !
Thank you so much !
