Safaya Luxury Villas - Adults only

Nungwi

Offering pool views, Safaya Luxury Villas - Adults only in Nungwi offers accommodation, free bikes, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a terrace and water sports facilities. Both WiFi and private parking are available at the lodge free of charge. We would firstly like to forward our sincere appreciation to all the staff members making sure we enjoyed our holiday. A special mention to Patrick, Mercy, Mohammed & Kiss (Chefs), Kani, Diana, Miriam and the pool guy. The professional, friendly and attentive service are what make this Hotel so special. Location: Walking distance to several restaurants and shops. You literally take 20 steps from your room stepping onto the clean beach. We just wish that the neighboring properties follow your example keeping the beach in pristine condition. Cleanliness: From our pool and room that were cleaned on a daily basis to even the restaurant, gardens and paths. Thank you The well prepared and variety of food! Zanzibar seem to have a problem providing supplying constant electricity to the properties resulting in “dips” in the electrical supply BUT Safaya went the extra mile, renting a massive generator running almost constantly to ensure that their guests could still enjoy all that the hotel stands for. This commitment and professional service clearly proof what you guys stand for. We left Safaya with a smile, well rested and beautiful memories. May you guys have a blessed 2024. Please take special care of Villa 1, which will hopefully be occupied by ourselves in December 2024.
