Jambiani · south-east Zanzibar
An intimate, Italian-managed beachfront lodge on Jambiani's turquoise lagoon — thatched bungalows on the sand, a two-level honeymoon suite, and a kitchen that blends Zanzibar with the Mediterranean.
Karibu — welcome
Sea View Lodge sits right on Jambiani's wide white beach, where the tide pulls far out over the lagoon and the fishermen's dhows drift home at dusk. Thatched rooms open onto the sand, the restaurant faces the water, and Italian owners keep the welcome warm and the pasta fresh.
Rooms
Carved Zanzibar beds and mosquito nets, independent entrances and patios — some steps from the pool, some right on the beach.
A deluxe room a few steps from the sea, with its own entrance and a patio onto the garden and pool.
A double right on the sand with a queen bed and ocean views — wake up to the lagoon at your doorstep.
The jewel of the lodge — a unique two-level beachfront room facing directly onto the ocean.
Dining
Our resident chefs cook a fusion of traditional Zanzibari, Italian and Mediterranean flavours — fresh fish from the morning's catch, homemade pasta, and a sunset table right on the beach.
