Located on the powder white sands of Michamvi Pingwe Beach, The Beach House is a private and stylish villa on the East Coast of Zanzibar.
The house comes with a very talented chef / manager, housekeeping, gardener and watchmen… all of whom take care of your needs whilst you’re relaxing and unwinding in this tropical paradise…
Accommodation
A serpentine swimming pool weaves through a tropical garden of bold colours and verdant palms, a deck for dining and lounging looks out over sand and lagoons, plus an inner courtyard for privacy and 4 large en-suite bedrooms of understated tropical chic, and louvered light:
This is a private retreat for a privileged few.
The outside world is there if you want it…
high-speed wireless internet access and a media room are at your disposal… but that’s up to you!
Philosophy
The Beach House makes boutique look last resort, distils suites-only hotels into their purest form, and brings travel to its perfect conclusion: The home away from home.
The Beach House in Michamvi offers the original guerilla-hospitality concept, Hospitality 2.0… the chance to take-over your own place, create your own content, and direct your own experience.
Somehow, sharing will never quite be the same again!
Food
The Beach House staff will take good care of you, but only when you ask for it. (It may seem like a cop-out, but they think that you should do the hospitality, and their role is to help you do it.)
It’s just a case of letting them know how and when to get involved… but they generally cook, clean and support ever so discreetly.
The food at The Beach House is simple and fresh, mostly very local and generally very organic, coming, whenever possible, from the beach out front and the garden out back.
The drinks are varied and chilled, and included in the rate… although premium brands are extra.
The house comes with a chef / manager, housekeeping, gardener and watchmen, but if you need a driver, a local dada (‘nanny’), a masseuse, a boatman, a guide, a yoga teacher, a small jazz band etc, then these can easily be arranged!
Included in the rate…
- Full a la carte breakfast, lunch and 3-course dinner;
- fully serviced: butler & housekeeping;
- complimentary tea and coffee facility;
- drinking water and sodas;
- basic laundry;
- high speed wifi
The Beach
A long strip of powder-fine sand beneath the shade of postcard-perfect palms, Michamvi Pingwe is a pristine tropical beach.
We might call it a ‘genuine’ or ‘authentic’ Swahili fishing community, but to Michamvi Beach House it’s just home… a small fishing village with a long crescent-shaped sandbank stretched out ahead at low tide.
The beach is special, with a couple of excellent restaurants to choose from – so we can’t say its lively… just very friendly and very easy.
The high tide laps the garden wall, receding to reveal rock pools and an azure lagoon at low tide.
This is most definitively a beach house!

Further Notes
A real traditional Swahili villa set on a picture perfect beach. The Beach House just has this exotic upmarket feel with a slight rustic, colonial touch. A lovely garden and pool make this a great option for any family holiday or a gathering of friends!
