Jambiani Beach

Seconda Stella

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. It rates Fabulous, 8.8/10, at about US$163 a night. Air-conditioned and quiet, it leans couples, though family rooms are available too.
