The Perfect Beach Vacation

This is the best villa we’ve stayed at. It’s right on Jambiani beach which is a really beautiful and calm beach (compared to Paje and those in the north such as Nungwi and Kendwa). It has only 3 villas with a pool, so there’s privacy and it’s quiet. We stayed 4 nights at the second floor villa (Bibi Juu) which had a large balcony where we had our breakfast while looking out at the Indian Ocean. Breakfast was provided by the lovely housekeeper, Rehema, and was a huge spread of eggs, fruits, different types of bread, fruit juice, granola, yogurt, coffee and milk. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Selina, the manager, provided a lot of information and readily answered all our questions. They can help you to do grocery runs and also almost anything you need like organising a bbq in the villa. There was also a security guard on the property at night who was friendly. Highly recommend Babu Villas for the perfect beach holiday in Zanzibar!
