Aya Beach Resort

The resort is beautifully located just by the main beach of Kizimkazi and with amazing views over the ocean and the sunset. Friendly and very helpful staff. Great pool area. All rooms have their private veranda, most of them with views.

Aya has a special place in all of our hearts. The 3 biggest things that stood out at this resort, the hospitality, kind nature of all the staff and the amazing food. From the moment we stepped onto the premises, we were greeted with welcoming smiles. The interaction with all the staff felt genuine and sincere. This was a home away from home. The food was extremely good, the burgers are great, seafood was on point every time, the platters are quite generous. For the time we spent at the resort, the wind was abit choppy, however this was expected. While I can try to explain all the natural beauty and rustic feel to the resort one has to stay here to understand. Daily excursions can be arranged with the staff, Yusuf was most helpful in this regard. A really special word of appreciation to Iptshaam, Irene, Juliette and Yusuf for making our stay so memorable. Till we meet again. Asante Sana!!

Aya Beach exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we felt like part of the family. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, ideal for unwinding and disconnecting. The beachfront location is unbeatable — crystal-clear waters, soft white sand, and dreamy sunsets every evening. The team was incredibly helpful with organizing activities and transfers, always with a smile. Our room was beautifully decorated, with all the comfort you need. We truly felt taken care of every single day. Highly recommend Aya Beach for anyone visiting Zanzibar — it’s a place you’ll never forget!

We stayed in this beautiful hotel for 4 nights 2 nights in room 10 which was very nice then as we wanted to stay for a further 2 nights we moved into a luxury villa virtually on the sea!!! It had an outside spacious bathroom. The location is paradise. The beach is nice and the colour of the water is pure turquoise blue. Food is exceptional, especially the Tuna! The best thing was the staff always happy to see you and go out of their way to help you. Well done to Jim’s, Salem,Irene and Juliane and of course the lovely Yusef! We would not hesitate to recommend this hotel. 5 stars!!!!

As a traveler, I recently had the pleasure of staying at Aya Beach Resort, and it was an unforgettable experience. We was greeted with warm smiles and a genuine sense of hospitality that made me feel right at home. The resort's location is simply breathtaking. The rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities you could need. I stayed in one of the Signature Villas, which offered stunning views of the ocean and a sense of tranquility that is hard to find elsewhere. The staff at Aya Beach Resort truly go above and beyond to ensure guests have a memorable stay. Whether it's the friendly housekeeping team, the attentive waitstaff, or the knowledgeable tour guides, everyone is dedicated to providing exceptional service. What stood out the most was the range of activities and experiences available. From snorkeling and diving in the crystal-clear waters to exploring the rich culture and history of Zanzibar, there's something for everyone.
