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. Our stay at Safaya Luxury Villas was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the incredibly friendly staff who made us feel right at home. The service was top-notch, and their warm hospitality added so much to the overall experience. The rooms were spotless and beautifully decorated, creating an atmosphere of both comfort and luxury. Every detail was carefully thought out, and we felt like we were staying in a true oasis of relaxation. The food was another highlight of our stay. Every meal we had was delicious, with a wide variety of options that left us more than satisfied.

With Matemwe Beach reachable in a few steps, Utupoa provides accommodation, a restaurant, free bikes, an outdoor swimming pool and a garden. Both WiFi and private parking are available at the lodge free of charge. A beautiful home away from home. Joyce and staff were exceptional hosts and couldn't do enough to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Matemwe Beach is tidal (kids loved the pool at these times) and much quieter than other more touristy beaches, and was just what we were after.
