Self-catering suites near Paje Beach with 2 outdoor pools and IKO-certified instructors
Accommodations
Nyumbani Residence Suites offers one-bedroom and two-bedroom villas, each with a fully equipped kitchen including a blender for smoothies. The villas have air-conditioning, a private bathroom, a balcony or terrace, and a separate dining area. Some units include a work desk and guests consistently rate the spaciousness of the accommodations as a major asset.
Pools & Outdoor Spaces
The property has 2 outdoor swimming pools: an infinity pool with a view and a salt-water pool, both with shallow ends and sun loungers. The tropical garden features lush trees, well-maintained paths, and an outdoor seating area with sun umbrellas. Guests also have access to a sun terrace and can use pool/beach towels provided on site.
Dining & Breakfast
Breakfast includes made-to-order eggs, fresh pastries, local fruits, and a daily homemade cake served in a homely setting. The family-friendly restaurant on site offers international cuisine with halal, vegetarian, and local options. Outdoor dining areas are available, and the hotel provides discounts at several nearby local restaurants.
Activities & Services
Guests can book diving, snorkeling, and kite surfing through the hotel, with instruction from IKO-certified instructors. The tour desk organizes excursions to Jozani Forest, Stone Town, and the Zanzibar Butterfly Centre, as well as cultural walking tours. A paid shuttle service from the airport, bicycle and car rental, and luggage storage are available for guest convenience.
Families & Children
The property offers babysitting and child services, as well as family rooms in the two-bedroom villas. The shallow ends of both pools make them suitable for children, and the manager has brought her daughter to play with guests' children as a personal touch. The 2-pool layout naturally separates quieter adult areas from family zones.
