View and activities

We would like to thank Anish and his entire team for the warm welcome we received. We loved staying at this charming hotel located on a beautiful white-sand beach. You can relax by the pool or on the sunbeds while enjoying the stunning ocean view. The rooms are gorgeous and very comfortable, and the staff is incredibly attentive — all you have to do is unpack and unwind. For activities, you can book everything directly through the hotel. We highly recommend heading out early in the morning to see the dolphins near Mnemba Island, an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for comfort and tranquility, far from the busy tourist area of Nungwi, Jafferji Beach Retreat is the perfect place to stay.

“Retreat”

The breakfast menu had several options and came with fresh fruit and juice every morning. All of the breakfasts were delicious. The resort is in a quiet fishing village, and despite many of the neighbouring properties also being hotels, it did not feel "touristy". I was seeking solitude, and found this place to be just right for this. There are plenty of boats on the beach, and boatmen are busy with the hustle and bustle of daily life. I would recommend taking a boat trip to go snorkelling! The locals are extremely friendly, with many beach vendors; however, this did not feel intrusive. I felt safe here as a solo female traveller. The staff are very friendly and attentive, and really made the stay very comfortable. I would recommend making the most of the Swahili options on the restaurant menu, as well as indulging in a massage, which was very relaxing. The resort was very accommodating to late check-ins and check-outs based on flights from South Africa that come in at odd times of the night. I appreciated this immensely.

Stuff is amazing! Very helpful and kind.

“Best beach holiday so far.”

Everything was just perfect here: the location, facilities, staff, super fresh (sea)food, atmosphere, the pool, the pergola shades with sunbeds, outside shower and (last but not least) the beach. Very quiet place too. Free wifi everywhere, towels for the sunbeds, drinks served at the pool, you name it. If we make it back to Zanzibar we will for sure come back here.

“thank you Jafferji beach. retreat!!”

The staff were outstanding! Thank you Maurizio and crew! Words fail me. The location.....😮 paradise ♥️ and the food....punching well above it's weight for such a wee hotel. Myself and my wife were made to feel like the only people in the world. The only negative is how far from Scotland this slice of heaven is. ♥️ Already discussing our return 🤣😁

“Our stay was brilliant”

The room was what l imagined. Big, clean and well decorated. Staff were amazing always happy to help. The food was always fresh.

“The stay was cool”

The bedroom was well sized and the location provided a peaceful environment.

“A great experience - strong recommendation.”

This is an excellent little boutique hotell with a nice position in the end at Matemwe beach. It has a good size pool close to the beach. A neat restaurant and a cozy lounge section. The hotell is the perfect size, not to big nor to small. The rooms are very big and tidy and the overall atmosphere is fantastic. But what really stands out is the management and staff. Super friendly and helpful in a most genuine way.

The food was really very good - the breakfast and dinners, the location was excellent. The staff were charming : )

Absolutely stunning resort with impeccable service. The beachfront location is breathtaking, and the rooms are luxurious and comfortable.

“23 days long time stay”

Very beautiful hotel with relax and beautiful, clean beach. Food is very good, stuff is very friendly, on every corner very clean and cozy. Chef Mauritio is very helpful, we had some healty problems and he called doctor to our room, get us advices about island, trips,... if on island electricity is out hotel has agregat. Benefit is pool because there are some hours that there is no sea.. people on beach are nice, not pushy to much as other places.

Very good Hotel considering quality/price. The manager Maurizio was super helpful and an amazing amphitryon
