IMANI BEACH VILLA

Imani Beach Hotel

Imani is an intimate beach villa, nestled amongst local culture, in the small town of ‘Bububu’ close to Stone Town.

In a beautiful tropical garden with a private beach our boutique hotel with seven distinctive rooms offers exotic comforts, from sleeping on four-poster antique beds to eating at traditional Moorish low tables in the restaurant. Guests sample fresh seafood caught by the local fisherman, organic produce from the garden, and spices from nearby plantations. Throughout the year home-grown delights such as passion fruit, coconut, lychee or lemongrass can be tasted in a variety of our freshly prepared dishes or original cocktails mixed before you at the bar.

The Imani is a place to enjoy nature’s beauty and simplicity. There are no TVs and no swimming pool but the Indian Ocean is a warm 27 degrees and just a few steps from your bedroom door.

The Rooms

Every room has private en-suite shower rooms with good, hot showers and air conditioning, ensuring guests can enjoy these essential modern comforts. Crucially, there are no adjacent hotels. Few electric lights along the beach mean that, at night, the view of the stars is amazing.

Every room has air conditioning, mosquito netting, and a private bathroom. Furnished in traditional Zanzibar style, each room has a different character thanks to the many antiques throughout the hotel. Most bedrooms boast antique four-poster beds.

Each bathroom and room is cleaned every day to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene. After a long day by the sea, or exploring the Island, you may want to request a relaxing massage done by expert hands to the aroma of local spice oils.
