Our stay at Gaia Villas in Zanzibar was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at peace. The property is stunning—tucked away in a serene setting that makes you feel like you’ve found your own little paradise. It’s quiet, beautifully maintained, and the perfect place to relax and recharge. Tanya, the owner, personally greeted us and gave us a run down of the property and the town. She even arranged transport from the airport for us beforehand and gave us recommendations on excursions and things to do in the area. Isiah was also amazing. We loved talking to him everyday and also really appreciated his recommendations.
One of the highlights was definitely the breakfast each morning. Everything was so fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared—it was the perfect start to our days. You could really taste the care and quality in every bite.
The combination of the peaceful atmosphere, the welcoming vibe, and the amazing food made this stay unforgettable. I can’t recommend Gaia Villas highly enough and would return in a heartbeat!

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!
