Kimurimuri Private Beach Villa and Apartments: Your Oasis of Tranquility and Barefoot Comfort by the Beach

The Kimurimuri Villa's charm lies in its secluded and hidden beachfront location in Pongwe, one of the most picturesque and unspoiled corners of Zanzibar. 'Kimurimuri,' Swahili for firefly, aptly describes the enchanting sight at night when the skies come alive with fireflies, creating a captivating light show that competes with the stars for your attention.

Our Kimurimuri Villa consists of three modern apartments tailored to the needs of self-caterers. However, if you prefer dining out, several excellent restaurants are within walking distance, offering a delightful variety of culinary delights to explore.

A stay with us provides an opportunity to reconnect with life's essential pleasures as you relax on the pristine white sandy beach right at your doorstep. Our apartments are meticulously maintained and fully serviced, with 24-hour security to ensure your peace of mind.

Guest Reviews

  • First of all big, big thanks to our lovely hosts Ina & Msuli for our wonderful stay in Kimurimuri. Kimurimuri is a little paradise with great attention to detail (e.g. the beautiful arrangement of the apartments, the great garden with different palms and very nice flowers, the clean pool, …). The kitchen is well-equipped and has everything you need for cooking. It looks even better than in the photos.... Read this review

  • We absolutely loved our stay in Kimurimuri, Ina and Msuli's Zanzibarian oasis. Everything was clean and exactly as described in the photo's. Check in was effortless, Ina was there to give us a little tour and help us set up the wifi. They had cleaning staff come in every couple of days during the week we where there to replenish toilettries and towels as well and empty the bins... Read this review

  • We had a wonderful relaxing stay at Ina’s and Msuli’s beautiful property with a lot of space and nature at hand. For my family this was one of the best place to chill on Zanzibar, far away from crowds and loud music. Great hosts. Very helpful and gave us some really good insider tips. Totally recommend this piece of heaven!

  • Staying at Ina & Msuli’s place was like a dream. Our girls age 7 and 10 were in the pool all day and we had lots of time to chill and enjoy the beautiful and peaceful surroundings, the well equipped apartment as well as the good food at nearby restaurants. Excellent and considerate hosts. Hugely recommended.
