Gaia Villas

We had an amazing restful stay at Gaia Villas. It is a small quiet place, perfect for relaxing with a lovely pool that is kept very clean every day. The villas are large with a separate bedroom with working air con and big mosquito nets. There’s either a terrace or covered balcony to relax on if there’s a short downpour! All of the staff are very friendly and thoughtful. The breakfast and afternoon snacks were really good, we particularly loved the passion fruit jam at breakfast! It is also only a 5 minute walk to the beach, a nice part of Nungwi beach where the sea was great and there are public sunbeds for hire, and plenty of nice bars and restaurants for dinner if you continue north.

From the moment we stepped into Gaia Villas in Zanzibar, it felt like a little paradise. The stunning swimming pool and beautiful surroundings made our stay truly special. We enjoyed the delicious breakfast options every morning, and the rooms were amazing—comfortable beds and high-quality mattresses. Tanya, the owner, made our stay incredible, taking care of everything we needed. She even recommended a diving experience, which turned out to be an unforgettable adventure. As a family, we felt completely safe and well taken care of throughout our stay. The location is perfect, just a few minutes from an amazing beach. We will definitely be back!

We had an amazing stay at Gaia Villas and enjoyed every moment! The villa was fantastic, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful – a special mention to Issayah, who went above and beyond to assist us with everything we needed. From arranging transport and tuk-tuks to preparing breakfast a little earlier for our dive trips, they truly made our stay effortless. The location is perfect – just a short walk to the beach, and if you’re diving with Spanish Dancer Divers, you can take a shortcut through a nearby hotel, making it only a 5-minute walk. After our dives, we loved relaxing by the pool, which we almost always had to ourselves. The breakfasts were the best we had in Zanzibar – always fresh and delicious. From amazing bread and breakfast burritos to fresh fruits, juices, and excellent coffee, it was the perfect way to start the day. A big thank you to Tania for the excellent communication throughout our stay! Gaia Villas is ideal for couples or small groups. The location is also great, with small shops nearby offering fair prices, a money changer close by, and tuk-tuks readily available. We’d highly recommend Gaia Villas for anyone visiting Nungwi!

Gaia Villas is an absolute gem. The location is unbeatable, just a 5-minute walk to the beach and close to all restaurants. Once you step inside, you’re transported into a true paradise, lush garden, refreshing pool, and comfortable rooms create a peaceful retreat that’s perfect for unwinding. The breakfast is fantastic, definitely don’t miss it! The owners are incredibly welcoming and friendly, making you feel right at home. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to relax in a beautiful, serene setting.

Hôtel très bien situé et calme, peu de chambres et une belle piscine avec une bonne exposition au soleil. Petit déjeuner copieux et varié, Agents de sécurité présents 24h/24, Personnel attentionné, nous recommandons l’établissement sans problème

Super schöne Unterkunft, in der man den Urlaub perfekt genießen kann! Die Außenanlage inkl. Poolarea wirkte durch die vielen Pflanzen wie ein Paradies. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und jeden Tag frisch sowie individuell zubereitet. Alle Angestellten waren zudem sehr freundlich und haben jeden Wunsch erfüllt. Tanya hat uns persönlich begrüßt und mit super wertvollen Tipps zur Umgebung ausgestattet. Lediglich die Bäder könnten modernisiert werden. Alles in allem jedoch ein top Preis-Leistungsverhältnis!
