Where to Stay in Jambiani Beach
Jambiani is a quiet fishing and seaweed-farming village just south of Paje, with a long white beach, a slow pace and stays that run mostly from budget guesthouses to small beachfront boutiques, best for couples and travellers who want the east coast without the crowds or the party.
The Oasis Residence
- 3★ Luxury
- Kitchen · Pool · Garden
- ~$275/night
The Oasis Residence is a self-catering luxury place in Jambiani: full kitchens, a garden and outdoor dining, priced around US$275 a night. There's no restaurant or front-desk service to speak of, so it suits people who want a private villa feel over a hotel.
Kaskazi Hotel Zanzibar
- Luxury
- Spa · Gym · Restaurant
- ~$289/night
It sits toward the southern end of the village, away from the busier centre. Expect a full-service, air-conditioned stay rather than the barefoot guesthouse feel Jambiani is known for.
Blue Oyster Hotel
- Mid
- Pool · Restaurant · WiFi
- ~$128/night
A well-reviewed mid-range hotel with a pool and a restaurant, plus diving and snorkelling arranged on site. It's a short walk to the village; worth confirming air-con at booking, since it isn't in the amenity list.
New Teddy's on the Beach
- Mid
- Beachfront · Restaurant · WiFi
- ~$87/night
A long-running, sociable place named for its spot on the Jambiani sand, New Teddy's pairs hostel prices with a packed events list: cooking classes, live music, themed dinners and windsurfing. Rooms are simple, and this is a lively hub, not a quiet hideaway.
Seconda Stella
- Mid
- Pool · Spa · Restaurant
- ~$163/night
Billed as a romantic hideaway, Seconda Stella is a cluster of cottages set in a garden a little back from Jambiani beach, with a spa and a pool. Air-conditioned and quiet, it leans couples, though family rooms are available too.
S&S Hotel
- Mid
- Pool · Restaurant · Air conditioning
- ~$141/night
S&S is a mid-range hotel with a pool, a restaurant and air-con rooms toward the northern end of Jambiani, near the Bwejuu edge. Live music some nights and a tour desk for trips; a straightforward, comfortable base rather than a design statement.
Stonefish Inn Jambiani
- Budget
- Snorkelling · Diving · Restaurant
- ~$50/night
Jambiani's cheapest pick here at about US$50 a night, Stonefish Inn is a budget bed and breakfast built around getting out on the water: diving, snorkelling, fishing, plus bike and walking tours. Rooms are simple with a restaurant on site; air-con isn't listed, so ask if you need cooling.
Aquelia Rose Hotel
- Mid
- Restaurant · WiFi · Room service
- ~$74/night
A lower-mid hotel a short way in from the beach, Aquelia Rose keeps things practical: a restaurant, balcony rooms, room service and a garden, for about US$74 a night. Good value for Jambiani, with bikes and cooking classes if you want to fill a day.
Cinnamon Hotel
- Mid
- Beachfront · Restaurant · WiFi
- ~$140/night
A beachfront hotel on Jambiani's quiet stretch, Cinnamon has a private beach area, a restaurant and family rooms, plus room service and airport transfers. Like most of this coast, the sea recedes far at low tide, so time your swims.
