Where Earth Meets Ocean and Soul
Hidden Sanctuary
THE VILLAS
Step into a dreamlike escape where comfort meets nature. Each of our four villas is designed with barefoot freedom in mind—featuring a sand-floored open living space that flows effortlessly into a private pool and tropical garden. The bathroom on the ground floor offers a rain shower and natural finishes.
The upstairs bedroom blends comfort and artistry, featuring handcrafted furniture made by Tanzanian tribes and artisanal decor sourced locally. Beautifully integrated into the sleeping area, a built-in bathtub invites you to relax, while a rain shower offers a refreshing touch. The highlight? A Balinese bed on wheels that glides out onto the terrace—perfect for sunrise moments and stargazing under the African sky.






THE STUDIOS
Our two cozy studios offer a relaxed island experience with handcrafted decor, a built-in bathtub integrated into the bedroom design, and a Balinese bed that rolls outside for stargazing or sunrise lounging.
Just downstairs, guests can unwind at the shared pool set next to the restaurant, soaking up the laid-back Maku atmosphere.
RESTAURANT & BAR
Start your day with the flavours of the island: fresh tropical juices, our signature mango-passion jam with a touch of Zanzibari spices, and warm homemade bread baked every morning.
Enjoy a selection of fluffy omelettes, seasonal fruits, daily pastry treats, and hearty vegetarian options — all crafted in-house. Boost your energy with a healthy ginger shot, and sip on traditional Tanzanian coffee or local spiced teas.
Prefer a slower start? Let us bring breakfast to your villa — a romantic treat to enjoy in bed or by your private pool.






From midday cravings to candlelight dinners, our kitchen celebrates the rich tastes of Zanzibar with a creative twist. Think charcoal-grilled seafood fresh from the ocean, Swahili curries slow-cooked with spice and soul, and vibrant plates crafted from locally grown produce.
Our daily specials follow the rhythm of the market and the sea — always fresh, always seasonal.
Guests on our half-board plan can enjoy a curated daily menu with a choice of starters and mains — always including a vegetarian option, a catch of the day, and something from the grill.
Our bar serves drinks from morning to night — from fresh juices and smoothies to local beers, African wines, and classic cocktails with a Zanzibari twist.
Whether you're relaxing by the pool or enjoying dinner under the stars, there's always something refreshing waiting for you.
The bar offers a curated list of wines, cocktails, and African-inspired drinks that pair perfectly with ocean breezes and good conversation.
