A rare gem - true paradise!

Paradise! The Aiyana is a truly special place. The resort is secluded on the lush island, the staff is extraordinary, the houses and gardens are beautiful and the entire place feels like home. Quiet and friendly luxury at its best!

We have visited the Aiyana twice and always had a great experience. The hotel is a hidden gem on a remote part of Pemba.

Great location, beautiful gardens, fantastic experiences and lovely staff! It is a little paradise, a hidden gem.

We had an excellent time and were well looked after by the whole team. They arranged dinner on the beach twice during our stay.The location was stunning, with a beautiful beach and crystal-clear water. Would recommend rubber shoes as the seabed is rocky in places. The villa was beautifully appointed and it was great to have our own pool overlooking the beach. The trip to the sandbank was the highlight of our trip.

For me Ayiana Resort it is one of the best way to live the truth beauty of Africa.

Aiyana Resort is a Piece of Paradise on Earth. 30 unique villas with direct access to the beach. Every villa has its own charme and it is very comfortable. Mr. Ashok, the owner, is an artist who designed one of the most beautiful resort I have ever been. Food is very good and service very attentive to any little detail. The location is great: large beautiful beaches, enchanted sea and great snorkeling. Very few tourists around.

The best hotel in the world!

This might be the best hotel in the world! The suite was absolutely amazing, even better than shown on the photos! Location is perfect - a pristine beach - white sand, hot clear blue waters - almost noone but some locals fishing near the sand. Some of the food is michelin star worth it - the tuna sashimi couldn't be more fresh, just perfect; the selection of wines is well worth it and the staff is the best we have ever had - professionals, elegants, eager to serve well (and oh they do!!). All the resort if of extreme elegance and good taste. Like I said - this might be the best hotel in the world! Please continue and don't change.

An idyllic break on an unspoilt island in Africa

It was beautiful and felt like a home not a hotel. The people working there couldn’t do enough to make us comfortable. A beautiful location in a delightful unspoilt island

Paradise

Impeccable stay! Great location with pristine beach, amazing excursions and sensational food. Rooms are spacious and blend with nature beautifully, and the hotel has a perfect location on the beach and close to many snorkelling locations. We highly recommend the mangrove and sand bank excursions, absolutely not to be missed.
