Our Story
A Quiet Corner of Nungwi, Built for Slowing Down
Ay Villas was created around a simple idea: that a holiday in Zanzibar should feel private, personal and unhurried. Rather than another beachfront hotel, the property was designed as two Bali-inspired villas set among tropical greenery in East Nungwi — a quieter stretch of the island’s north coast.
Every detail, from the private pools to the calming interiors, is intended to give guests room to breathe. And every stay is supported by a host and team who take genuine pride in making each visit feel personal, whether that means arranging a sunset dhow cruise, a private dinner by the pool or simply a well-timed cup of coffee.
