Maneri Villa - Second Floor Apartment

Welcome to Maneri Villa

Maneri Villa is a peaceful, modern retreat set within a developing coconut grove, fruit plantation and spice garden. Combining contemporary comfort with tropical surroundings, it is an ideal setting for families, friends and larger groups seeking privacy, relaxation and an authentic Zanzibar experience.


Flexible Villa Design

The villa can be enjoyed as one spacious home or divided into two self-contained apartments. The ground and upper floors are connected by an internal staircase, while a wide external staircase provides completely independent access to the upper apartment.

The ground floor opens directly onto the garden and swimming pool. Upstairs, wraparound balconies and a spacious 4 × 4 metre covered veranda provide the perfect setting for breakfast, evening drinks and sunset views.


Location and Private Pool

Maneri Villa is approximately a five-minute walk from a local fishermen’s beach, where guests can experience peaceful coastal surroundings and beautiful sunsets over the Indian Ocean.

The secluded 8 × 4 metre swimming pool is reserved exclusively for Maneri Villa guests and is illuminated at night. The poolside area includes sun loungers, a hammock, a couple’s swing, coffee tables and an outdoor shower.


Dining

Each apartment has a fully equipped kitchen with a gas hob, oven, microwave, toaster, blender, cooking utensils and essential ingredients.

Breakfast and freshly prepared home-cooked meals are available from our staff for a small additional charge. Meals should be requested the evening before.
