Racoco Villa  

On Zanzibar’s southeast shore in Jambiani, this ocean-side guesthouse sits a minute’s drive from Jambiani Beach and a short trip to Paje Beach. The villa is within walking distance of the village center for local shops and beach life.

Edgy, relaxed villa vibes with garden-view balconies, a terrace and an indoor pool. Rooms range by category but include microwaves and private bathrooms with deep soaking tubs; daily housekeeping keeps things tidy.

Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and take a dip in the indoor pool or stroll the garden and terrace. On-site perks include a library, barbecue area, parking, laundry, safe-deposit boxes, concierge and a 24-hour tour/transfer desk; roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

Wireless internet access is available (surcharge). Luggage storage, concierge and secure safes help keep business travel simple.

Self-cater in the shared communal kitchen or fire up the barbecue grills for a casual meal. House setup makes it easy to enjoy fresh local produce and seafood from nearby vendors.
