Fantstic place by a beautiful beach with limited number of other resorts. We had the luxury of staying at the Sunset Villa just by the sea and beautiful sunsets. The Aya Beach team treated us as royals and always with a smile. Special thanks to Salim, Ireme, Juma, Flora and Julian!

Really quiet nice place. Good beach for swimming to be Zanzibar! Charming villa with outdoor bath - wich was a bit unpractical when the rain season was starting those days. But worth the stay! Plenty of food for fullboard .

Aya and the surrounding beach were incredible! The facilities were more than I could have hoped for and the staff top notch. I underestimated how remote and underdeveloped Kazimkazi was- while I felt safe, so many people trying to sell me something made me not want to leave the hotel. (There is no ATM in town!) An unexpected highlight were the Maasai staff! Absolute pleasure having the opportunity to get to know more about that community. I would absolutely recommend and will return.

The property is beautifully located on a quiet beach, with breathtaking sunsets. The bungalows have been recently redone, every detail in the room and bathroom remind you of Africa. Very clean, with wonderful staff ( lead by the manager, Mr. Luis), good fresh, tasty food ( fruit, fish and seafood, freshly squeezed juice) and good cocktails. Definitely coming back!

Very relaxing. Very quiet. Beautiful beach in front of property. Slightly understaffed in restaurant / bar, but food well priced and very good. If you want to relax, i would strongly reccomend

Aya Beach resort is a really lovely and quiet hotel tucked away in the corner of the beach. It has direct access to the beach and when the tide is up, you can go from the stairs to the ocean and have a swim. The food was really tasty and had good sized portions, they have specials that change daily which is a nice touch. If you fancy changing it up a bit, there is a really amazing local restaurant about 5 minute walk down the beach, called Sunset which serves amazing seafood at a good price. The beach is hard to relax on when the tide is up, but around the pool is full of sand so it gives you the vibe you are sitting on the beach anyway. The one negative, which is not Aya’s fault is the beach is full of beach boys trying to drag you in for a chat to sell you an excursion, which after a while becomes really annoying! You just need to tell them no and ask them to leave you alone. Stay away from a person called Mr Cool, he will not give you a nice experience and will not pay the local people their deserved money if you pay him. Overall, a lovely stay and we would recommend to others if staying in Kizimkazi.

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen! Die Sonnenuntergänge während des Abendessens waren atemberaubend, und wir hatten das beste Thunfischsteak unseres Lebens. Das Personal war unglaublich freundlich und aufmerksam. Einziger Nachteil war, dass das Zimmer leicht feucht und modrig gerochen hat.

10/10

Fint hotell med härligt boende och det ligger precis vid stranden. Bra mat men kanske något dyr och för lite variation. Härlig frukost med grattis tillval på olika ägganrättningar som är toppen goda. Tre nätter känns som lagom för detta boende sedan blir det enformigt. Men lungt och supermysigt.

Depuis mon arrivé jusqu'à mon départ le séjour a été magnifique. Disponibilité du personnel, leur gentillesse et leur sourire feront de votre séjour un instant mémorable. Dans une très belle plage, au contact de la population locale vous vous baignerez dans des eaux cristallines. Villa signature très confortable et bien aménagée. Lieu paisible et reposant. Petite structure loin de ces complexes hôteliers bruyant et surpeuplée. De plus la cuisine est très bonne avec un choix à la carte, rien à voir avec ces bouffet qu'on vous propose. Tout était parfait!!
