“Beautiful property that comes with a price tag”
A truly luxurious stay in beautifully designed villas. The beach is very clean, it’s possible to swim, and the facilities of the neighboring larger resorts (like gym and tennis court) can be used. The private cabana is a nice touch, as was the evening entertainment bands.

Even laying out breakfast early when you had trips. Food was exceptional and so was cocktails. Bungalows were beautiful with private cabana’s all room fittings were highest quality.

“Paradise”
This place is heaven on earth! My villa was huge, beautiful and felt very private. I loved having my own cabana on the beach, where I spent most of my time relaxing and watching the stunning colors of the sea, while sipping a refreshing drink. But what makes this hotel special is the amazing staff. Everyone was so accommodating and attentive: from Siriak, the manager, to the awesome waiters Ngasa, Maulid and Jackson. It felt like being home, surrounded by beautiful people. And the food...uuuuf it was so delicious!! I already miss everything about this place and I hope to come back someday.

7 villas only makes the place a great calm and relaxing getaway. The whole experience was fantastic and all the staff are nice and helpful, special thanks to Siriak the manager who was always taking care of us and made it a perfect holiday. Drinks, food, special attentions, room, view, everything was great!.

“Incredible! Highly recommended!”
I love the exclusivity of the resort (7 villas only), tranquility, the flexibility whenever you ask for different food not listed on the menu , the impeccable service offered by the staff and the dedicated cabana for each villa. Every staff in the resort was helpful, especially Sidrik the hotel manager who is always ready to go the extra mile. I would consider staying at the resort again!!

“We wanted quiet seclusion, and we certainly were not disappointed.”
Staff always friendly and available. Service impeccable. Meals delicious. Only seven bungalows, which meant only seven other couples and no children. Perfect.

“We loved everything!”
Everyone and everything we encountered was exceptional. The staff were the true gem of the resort -- so kind, knowledgeable, and warm -- that we felt so at peace and enjoyed every moment of our stay. The food was also outstanding -- and beyond our expectations -- it was varied, healthy and tasty. Due to an incredible staff, service and food, we never wanted to leave the resort and did not (except to exercise at the sister resorts)! One of our best vacations ever!

These questions are things we couldn't know. Compared to other parts of zanibar I appreciated the protection from solicitors, but I hope the hotel does something ANYTHING to help them. The money for security could go to real economic empowerment

“Exceeded our expectations and highly recommended”
With only 14 guests maximum the hotel is very intimate. The staff are very professional but friendly and never intrusive. Attention to detail can be seen everywhere. The standard of cuisine is first rate, varied, inventive and beautifully presented. The all inclusive package is generous so although expensive our stay was value for money.

“If you are looking for an oasis of luxury. This is it.”
There aren't enough words to describe how amazing this property is, from the moment we left the highway a magical holiday began. The staff, Jackson in particular, are the most genuine, friendly, helpful, and thoughtful. The room is itself, is a pretty decent size bungalow, is rustic but everything is where you want it, and works perfectly.
