“Tranquility at its best!”
This breakfast cannot be topped, staff has found a way of working that is very unobtrusive and relaxing. Very relaxed atmosphere in contrast to most beach stays that have music all day.

“Relaxing, comfortable, beautiful. Thanks!”
We had a lovely, relaxing stay at Villa Juliana. The staff were very helpful and obliging. The breakfast was great, with plenty to eat. The location is fabulous, right on the beach. The views from the property are beautiful out to sea. There were plenty of restaurants nearby within walking distance with lots of choice.

“Honeymoon Villa Juliana”
The fantastic location right on the beach in Jambiani. They have enough beds for all guests to just relax in the sand looking at the ocean in front of you. Most fabulous was the big breakfast every morning including fruits, eggs, pancakes and fried snacks with a lovely juice. The rest of the menu for lunch and dinner was also nice. We really loved the staff which were available at every minute and went out of their way to accommodate us on this special trip. Another positive is the hot shower! Lastly we could stay the whole day before our late flight and there is a small room where you can shower and change before leaving.

“Lovely quiet place for your to recharge”
The villa is very quiet and peaceful. The staff are amazing and friendly. It was my partner's birthday and they surprised him by presenting a birthday cake while the whole group of staff sing and dance for his birthday. The room is big and nicely decorated with a huge comfortable bed. No air-con but it wasn’t too hot when we were there in early June. There is a ‘nap’ bed outside the room you can nap while hearing the sound of the ocean. The pool and sunbed area are amazing to chill while overlooking the beach.

“Amazing Villa in Jambiani”
Clean and beautiful beach section, spacious room(s) and friendly host and stuff. Expensive furniture (awesome bed and mattress) and local details in high quality like bread basket, what is not common in Zanzibar nowadays :) I wish we could stay longer...

“Stunning location!”
The location is stunning, and the beach looks incredibly beautiful when the ocean isn’t receding due to the “tidal” changes. We were a group of four, and we rented a car, choosing this accommodation so we could explore the beaches in this area before heading to the well-known Kendwa/Nungwi region. The accommodation was exactly to our liking, very cozy, with a gorgeous garden and breathtaking views. They have a type of window in the bedrooms that closes at night, yet you can still hear the ocean through the cracks, and the feeling is amazing. The breakfast was more than sufficient and extremely tasty. The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful when needed. There were times when we had dinner at the hotel, and the food was unbelievably delicious. The quality-to-price ratio was more than perfect. Thank you for the feelings felt and for the care taken during the holiday!

How do you explain how wonderful Villa Juliana is in just a few sentences? Villa Juliana is a tucked away gem! Within minutes we felt so relaxed!! We loved lying on the loungers overlooking the beach and ocean whilst sipping cocktails, taking a quick dip in the ocean which is on your doorstep or the sparkling clean pool. The rooms were always clean and the staff were the friendliest, most helpful who always had a smile on their face (from the staff who cleaned the pool up to management). The lodge is in a prime area which is very accessible to many restaurants in walking distance or catch a bajaji for a 5 minute drive to Paje to experience their night life, a trip to Jozani Forrest and snorkelled a few times which is a must too. Lastly, without sounding biased, the food we ate at the lodge was superb, at times even better than a highly rated restaurant in the area!! The breakfast in the morning with freshly squeezed juice and filter coffee was, outstanding and so filling! Thank you for an incredible stay and to Julia for always responding speedily to my questions prior to travelling. We will definitely be back! Thanks again.

“Amazing place at the beach to enjoy and unwind”
We liked (loved!) everything! Such a beautiful place, with nice energy, great relaxing vibe and the most friendly staff and great food. The room/apartment is spacious with a separate room for bags and clothes with a big mirror. Bathroom is also big with a rain shower. Breakfast is served at your own table on the veranda. Beach is beautiful (white sand, blue ocean) and even with low tide it’s a great sight. A great place to unwind, relax and enjoy.
