About this villa rental
Welcome to Maneri Villa
Maneri Villa is a peaceful, modern retreat set within a developing coconut grove, fruit plantation and spice garden. Combining contemporary comfort with tropical surroundings, it is an ideal setting for families, friends and larger groups seeking privacy, relaxation and an authentic Zanzibar experience.
Flexible Villa Design
The villa can be enjoyed as one spacious home or divided into two self-contained apartments. The ground and upper floors are connected by an internal staircase, while a wide external staircase provides completely independent access to the upper apartment.
The ground floor opens directly onto the garden and swimming pool. Upstairs, wraparound balconies and a spacious 4 × 4 metre covered veranda provide the perfect setting for breakfast, evening drinks and sunset views.
Location and Private Pool
Maneri Villa is approximately a five-minute walk from a local fishermen’s beach, where guests can experience peaceful coastal surroundings and beautiful sunsets over the Indian Ocean.
The secluded 8 × 4 metre swimming pool is reserved exclusively for Maneri Villa guests and is illuminated at night. The poolside area includes sun loungers, a hammock, a couple’s swing, coffee tables and an outdoor shower.
Dining
Each apartment has a fully equipped kitchen with a gas hob, oven, microwave, toaster, blender, cooking utensils and essential ingredients.
Breakfast and freshly prepared home-cooked meals are available from our staff for a small additional charge. Meals should be requested the evening before. Dietary preferences and allergies can be accommodated where possible with advance notice. Local takeaway and grocery delivery services are also available.

Our team can help arrange:
* Guided tours of historic Stone Town

A cot, highchair and wireless baby monitor are available on request. The pressurised water system provides powerful showers, while outdoor facilities include a sheltered pizza oven, brick barbecue and portable beach barbecue.

We had a great stay at the villa. The manager and staff were very accommodating. We enjoyed the lush garden and pool which was also private. The gym was a nice bonus too. I would highly recommend staying here.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
This villa truly made our Zanzibar experience even better. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Everyone was incredibly accommodating, with special thanks to Ali, who was always attentive and made sure we had everything we needed from transport to organising excursions.The rooms were very clean, and the whole place felt incredibly homely. The villa is in a perfect location to get quiet luxury but good access and views of the beach. The property is much bigger than we expected with beautiful plants and fruits growing around the grounds, which really added to the experience. We felt completely at ease here and would love to come back again, especially with family. Would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a serene and memorable place to stay in Zanzibar.
