Zanzibar: Villa Kiva


Max relax
We recently stayed a few nights in Villa Kiva in Matemwe Beach and could not have been happier with our stay. The rooms were tasteful and furnished appropriately, the grounds were spacious and varied, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Even though it was the low season and thus wasn't at capacity, I think even with full occupancy there is enough space for it to not be crowded. We lucked out and got a great low season deal on an elevated seaview room. With a small porch we could sit and read while taking in the beautiful views of the ocean. We could even hear the ocean from our room at night.

The breakfast was phenomenal, with a huge spread of fruits and homemade pastries. The food in general was fantastic and the Italian influence (the owners are Italian) is evident. High grade olive oil, tastey espressos, and crispy breadsticks at dinner were all welcomed. The food was priced very fair and there was a good variety to mix it up over a couple of days. All in all it was a perfect place for us to unwind.
