This villa is beautiful. All of the bedrooms are spacious with ensuites and sea views. The decor is gorgeous and it is clean and well equipped. The outside area and pool are amazing. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. We had a small problem on arrival and the masai sorted it out immediately. Calister is a wonderful cheerful host. We had breakfast on our first morning which was a full on feast and great value for money! Jambiani is wonderful and the people are so friendly. We felt safe for our entire stay . Its rubbish about being harassed, the people are friendly and leave you alone if you just say "no thanks" with a smile. We did use a beach boy called John for a sail on a dhow and taxis, he was reliable, cheerful and considerably cheaper than some other sources! If you are considering booking don't hesitate. We wish we had stayed longer!!

“Super amazing, an unforgettable stay!”
The location is stunning, the ocean views were amazing! We loved the villa itself it is well done with lovely interior. The villa manager Calister is so friendly, easily reachable at any Time to solve any issues- she was super great. We loved the little gifts she gave the kids during checkout, so thoughtful and lovely- keep up the great spirit Calister. Not to forget the housekeepers who were so patient with us, thank you so much. I definitely recommend Villa Citrus for any stay.

The location was great. we miss that view already. Callister is a very nice person. Thanks to Maasai we felt safe. Thank you very much for an unforgettable stay in a wonderful Villa. We also recommend a chef who will cook delicious dishes on site.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The views from the property are wonderful - you get a beautiful sunrise and it was lovely sitting on the balcony watching it. The pool is great and we used it a lot because at low tide the sea is a long way out. The property is cleaned every day which we thought would be a luxury but it meant it didn’t get sandy. The Masai security were always on hand and we felt safe. There are other tourist properties around too and a few shops within a few minutes walk for basic stuff and souvenirs. Some very nice restaurants. Calister was really helpful throughout, including organising excursions so you know you are using someone you can trust.
