The Aiyana Resort nestles on the northern-most edge of Pemba Island, a mere 30 minutes light aircraft flight from Zanzibar.
Pure and chic, The Aiyana has been designed and built around the concept of “simple materiality and consummate craftsmanship”. The vernacular architecture, high ceilings, pastel white colours, fragrant gardens, natural forms and traditional African building materials come together perfectly and melt into the sublime natural décor of this little paradise.
Here, the concept of luxury is redefined through a sense of tactility and tranquility. Simplicity and sensuality is what makes The Aiyana so special and deserving.
The character and integrity of all materials gathered along with the traditional “savoir faire” of the locals, have formed the basis of Aiyana’s approach to the architecture and design of the resort.

NB: Specials meals and set-ups organized on the beach and in privatized areas within the resort are not included in the All-inclusive package, and will carry extra costs.
Spa
Inspired by the natural elements, and reflecting it’s picturesque island setting, Aiyana’s spa offers pure pampering relaxation!
Activities
The diving around Pemba Island is nothing short of breathtaking. The untouched coral reefs surrounding the entire island make Pemba one of the top dive sites in the world.
The sandbank protrudes to offer a walk on the purest white coral sand, surrounded by azure blue waters. After lunch, relax on the sandbank listening to the bird life around you and the splash of waves lapping against the shore!
The Aiyana resort is your outpost into the first steps of the wildness and tranquility of Pemba. Reconnect with nature and experience a land rich in life and uninhabited space. The Aiyana is an ideal place to discover mother nature at its purest state with the blend of local culture and heritage.
You’ll leave feeling dazed by this pure African getaway!
