If you are looking for a big tourist resort, then you will definitely NOT be interested in our place.
But if you are a seasoned traveler or ex-pat hoping to rub elbows with African fishermen, an ex-backpacker who has grown to need comfort yet doesnÂ’t want unnecessary luxury (no TVs or swimming pool) on this beautiful tropical island, if you savor life and fresh seafood simmered in coconut sauce, whether you want a lifetime of memories or just to relax for a few days, then read on...
Located 6 degrees south of the Equator on the Indian Ocean, the Imani Beach Villa is a refreshing oasis of tranquility for your holidays, where you can discover Swahili fisherman at work sailing their traditional wooden outrigger trimarans, while you taste seafood and other local dishes made with coconut, and cocktails with fresh fruits and spices from our garden and the surrounding area.
The Imani--with only eight rooms--is a boutique hotel in the midst of a tropical garden with palms, banana trees, fragrant flowering plants, and passion fruit, where man and nature join in harmony.
Just listen to the sound of waves gently brushing up against the shore, while you wait for another splendid Equatorial sunset, and the African night. Join us on Thursday for a bbq in our garden and a show of acrobats and drummers on the beach and in the restaurant.
Relax... everything comes to those who wait.

The Rooms
Every room has air conditioning, mosquito netting, and a private bathroom.

Furnished in traditional Zanzibar style, each room has a different character thanks to its antiques (the owners are collectors). Poster beds give a special touch, and the Sultan Suite has one so wide it could sleep three, worthy of any harem!

Each bathroom and room is cleaned every day to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene.

After a long day by the sea, or exploring the Island, you may want to request a relaxing massage done by expert hands to the aroma of local spice oils.

The Restaurant
The Imani's restaurant has been designed respecting traditional Moorish style, with low tables made out of coconut wood and decorated with veils and colorful cushions... the exotic charm of 1001 Nights.

Try some of our unique Island dishes: barracuda capriccio, kingfish ravioli, or octopus stewed in coconut sauce.

Or for some more traditional tastes: savory chicken Masala, fish kebabs or vegetables au gratin.

Every morning, breakfast includes fresh fruit straight from our garden: it's always the right season for papayas and mangos!

The Beach
The Imani has its own private beach, equipped with large beach umbrellas, sun shades and chaise lounges.

The beach is an ideal spot for having a drink while admiring a magnificent view of the Ocean, or watching herons fly overhead to reach a little nearby island for the night. Or just kick back with a good book or the right company...

You don't even have to put your shoes on to walk a few feet from your room to the white sands of our beach.

We can also help you arrange any tours and are happy to give advice on any aspect of you stay. See you soon! » Full Information
