Top landmarks in Jambiani
Jambiani Beach
9.2/5 (260 reviews)
Whether you want to hunt for sand dollars or smell the fresh air, Jambiani Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 1.1 mi (1.7 km) from central Jambiani. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Paje Beach.
Notable for its seaside, Jambiani features attractions such as Jambiani Beach and Kuza Cave. This relaxing city has something for everyone including sights like Swahili Cave within a small-town setting.
"Relaxed beyond words during our stay @ Blue Reef. This place is a vibe…chill. Luxuries abound in our rooms (we stayed in the apartment). So much space for our family of 4 to really spread out and regroup after a week of safari in northern Tanzania. Snorkeling right from the hotel was perfect for the kids. The breakfasts were spot on for everyone in our group of picky eaters to find their favorites…GREAT COFFEE!!! The staff is laid back and welcoming while also taking care of business. We’ll be back!"
"The reviews on this place did not serve it justice! I was blown away at the amenities that were not mentioned. When you arrive you are greeted with a welcome drink and cleansing towel. There is a restaurant on site and you basically get a concierge that you can message whenever you need something. They even provide a grocery list of things they can shop for you and will do your laundry (both for a fee). Shuttle to sister hotel to go to the beach was a good plus (no fee). Staff was friendly, attentive and make you feel at home. It was like staying in your own private residence with a chef and staff on hand. You can eat at the restaurant or have your meal delivered to your villa. The chef was very accommodating to our vegan diet and even made us desserts and dishes that were not on the menu. They are eager to change your bedding and towels and clean for you everyday. You get your own private fenced in green space and lounge chairs within feet of the pool. Good for groups. Massage space, gift shop. Walkable to beach, grocery, atm, shopping (15 min). They can also setup tours for you or help you get a taxi. Also, you can choose half board or full board when you arrive for an additional fee not mentioned with expedia. But Breakfast was included in our stay and the buffet had so many options along with a cooked menu you can choose from. They can provide shuttle to/from airport or ferry for a fee. Communicate with them early through Expedia to arrange shuttle."
"We had such a wonderful stay at Alma during our first night in Zanzibar. They were able to arrange a driver for us from the airport, and it was a very smooth process. The rooms are beautiful, the beach gorgeous, and the food/drinks delicious. What stands out about this place, though, is its friendly service. Everyone was so kind, helpful, attentive, and ensured we had a magical time. Special shout-outs to Jamila at the front desk and Fathinely in the restaurant who took such extra great care of us. We will be back!"
"The staff was incredibly helpful. They went way above and beyond the expected to provide us a great experience. It was recently renovated, and the amenities are very good. The restaurant is also well managed and the food is prepared well."
"There is nothing to fault. Staff were amazing, food was delicious. The hotel was tranquil and very restorative. The beach was beautiful. All amenities were great, but the staff, they stood out, they were truly wonderful. Thank you to everyone. "
