I absolutely loved my holiday in this villa, situated on Matemwe beach. The villa is spacious and well laid out, with plenty of decks and patios to find shade or suntanning options. The pool is a very welcome sight on a hot day, and the well-tended gardens are a balm to the eyes after the powder-white beach sand.

But the star of this attraction is the staff. They form the most amazing team, with Lucky and Angel managing the housework and the food serving, with Hamisi and Sele in the kitchen. An awesome and friendly group of people, who provided fantastic food and service and were so willing to go out of their way to help with anything. The garden and security staff did their best to keep invisible but you could see the results of their efforts, and they were also very friendly when we met them.

Assante sana, we loved every minute of this holiday!

The house is situated on Matemwe beach which is one of the best beaches in Zanzibar. It is located very nicely on the beach with its own private beach in front of the house. The staff members are very helpful and nothing is a problem for Lucky, Angel, Hamiz the cook and Sele Ali. We used the motor boat and the oppies daily and thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay.

Thanks for a fantastic time at Villa Turquoise. After an exhausting week on safari in the Serengeti (which was fantastic) it was so nice to chill out in Zanzibar. The Villa is magnificent and the staff are all wonderful. Lucky is so efficient and completely calm all the time. “no worries” she would say whenever there was something we wanted. Khamis is a gem. He doesn’t realise how talented he is. He produced some fabulous food for those who wanted it alongside pasta or something simple for those who didn’t. Thank you, Donna, for all you did for us. My wife was so grateful that you managed all the catering requirements so that she didn’t need to lift a finger !

Bart, you chose a beautiful location and have built a beautiful house. I love it. It is perfect and fits the environment perfectly. I love the high makuti roof and the wide veranda upstairs. The bedrooms are so comfortable, each with its own facilities. My wife and I had one in the front and woke each morning as the sun rose over the sea. It was idyllic. The beach, stretching for miles in each direction is so unspoilt; no high rise hotels (yet) and few guys hassling you to buy things you don’t want. I speak swahili which makes a difference so we had a laugh and a joke with everyone – including Solomon Dishwasher, just along the way !

We loved everything, the very large villa is directly on the beach with a vwry big private pool, the staff is very friendly with an excellent chef. I simply loved everything. Its a perfect place for big families who wants big space and privacy .

Lucky, Hamis and the others: we miss your smiles, lovely food and hospitality! We had the best holiday ever. Everything was perfect: the villa, the setting, the weather. We stayed 2 weeks: the first week we where 10 people: 6 kids, parents and grandparents. Second week a smaller group of 6. The villa is so spacious and still cosy. In real it is even better than the pictures and the descriptions!

The beach and sea: white and turquoise and clean. We also loved the tides: diving in the waves during high tides and crossing the lagoon during low is very exiting.We found so many shells on the beach! We went snorkling, scuba diving, played golf (first greenfee-ers ever, Seacliff just opened :) had excursions and massages: everything was perfectly arranged by the staff.

Donna and Bart, thank you for your excellent communication and for finding such an superbe staff to look after us (and the villa :)

We'll definitely come back, hakuna matata!
