.this is jambiani

The dreamy village of Jambiani on the south-east coast is hidden between the shimmering depths of the turquoise blue ocean and an endless white sandy beach lined with majestic coconut palms. Here, life pulsates in harmony with the tides, while a relaxed atmosphere caresses the senses and time seems to stand still.

​

On the streets of Jambiani, you will mainly encounter fishermen and farmers who live in harmony with the rich natural resources of the sea and the land. The locals' traditional dhow boats glide over the gentle waves out to sea in search of their daily catch. However, it is not only the rhythmic waves of the ocean that set the pace of life here, but also the warm hospitality of the villagers who welcome visitors with open arms.

​

The history of Jambiani is a fascinating tapestry of times gone by, dating back to the days of colonisation. Once an important trading post for spices and tragically also for the slave trade, the heritage of Jambiani is closely interwoven with the history of Zanzibar.

​

Today, Jambiani shines as a sought-after destination for adventurers looking for a haven of peace and relaxation. Here, visitors can enjoy the coastal landscape in all its splendour, explore the fascinating underwater world while snorkelling or diving, or simply feel the sun on their skin and let their gaze wander over the endless sea. And as the days glide gently by, Jambiani also opens up the opportunity to explore the surrounding treasures of Zanzibar, a gateway to a world of undiscovered wonders and unforgettable adventures.

​

One factor that should not be underestimated and that is gradually and inexorably changing the face of Jambiani is the increasing presence of tourism, to which the local population is slowly becoming accustomed. This is particularly evident in the changing price structures.
