Jambiani Villas is located in Jambiani on three properties 400 m away from each other: Kaskazi, Katikati and Kusini. All properties are situated right on the beach and offer outdoor pools and free WiFi.

My apartment located almost on the beach gives fantastic circumstances for morning jogging, it's quite popular in Jambiani! And various breakfast right after, especially homemade passion curd with cinammom rolls!! Was just perfect start of every day. Thank you also for good advices and arranging excursions! Very intensive time I had. There was only one big disadvantage- too short stay! Hope to see you soon guys!

Incredible house! The veranda, rooms and bathrooms are insanely beautiful and well looked after - the staff there is so wonderful - Habiba (housekeeper) and Ahmed (chef). We had a lunch and dinner prepared by the chef and both were excellent and great value for money ($15pp for a 3 course dinner!) Be sure to bring some cash to tip them well because they really deserve it and they go above and beyond whenever you need something.

    The location at Jambiani, direct access to the sea and to the main street (many shops), close to other hotels and restaurants. Small hotel with only few bungalows so few people, no noise, very calm. Swimming pool to swim while low tide (even if the sea can be reached by walk). The restaurant is very nice, very good meals and above all very nice staff.

    Really cosy and confortable place with a great bar. We had a wonderful and peaceful break and we were made to feel home away from home during our stay at Driftwood Lodge by our hosts Shona and Ismail, both so very keen to make your stay fautless and memorable.

    We loved everything (location, service, atmosphere...). Driftwood Beach Lodge is a little piece of paradise and we had an amazing time thanks to Kerry, Brady and the wonderful Driftwood team. The room was nice, the food simple but good and the place generally speaking is very well maintained. During low tides, after an amazing walk on the beach of Jambiani, you can enjoy the pool which has an incredible view. We really felt at home in this small cosy relaxing lodge. It was hard to leave!
