The Aiyana Resort and Spa

On Makangale Beach, Pemba Island, Tanzania — a beachfront hideaway with sweeping Indian Ocean views. Roughly 3.7 miles (about 6 km) from Ngezi Forest Reserve and close to the waters around Misali, it’s ideal for ocean escapes and villa stays.

Thirty individually designed beachfront villas offer a boutique, modern vibe. Expect ocean-view patios or private terraces, king-size beds, spacious living areas, minibars and flat-screen TVs. Bathrooms feature separate tubs and showers, and the Presidential Villa adds a private pool and separate living area.

Choose the all-inclusive option for meals, snacks and mealtime drinks from local brands (drinks served until 23:30). Spa treatments, a health/fitness club, outdoor pool, private beach and poolside bar set the scene for sea-breeze mornings. 24-hour reception, laundry, concierge and shuttle services are on hand; some facilities may close for seasonal or weather reasons.

Meeting room facilities and complimentary wireless internet access across the property. Multilingual staff and luggage storage available for groups and events.

An on-site restaurant and bar/lounge plus a poolside bar keep things simple and tasty. Complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast is served daily from 7:00–11:00, and room service is available for in-villa dining.
