Private pool villas a short walk from the Indian Ocean, on one of Zanzibar's quietest stretches of coast. A place to slow down, and an asset that keeps working while you do.
In Swahili, mapumziko means rest. We have built around that idea: low-rise Bali-style villas and thoughtfully renovated homes set in tropical gardens, with a shared estate pool and the reef-sheltered beaches of the north-east coast on the doorstep.
Choose a newly built Bali-style villa, or a renovated home with character, finished to your taste. Every villa has a private pool and full access to the estate pool and gardens.

Mapumziko is a managed estate, so your villa is cared for whether you live here, visit for a few weeks a year, or let it to holiday guests.
A traditional fishing village between Matemwe and Kiwengwa, with white-sand beaches, a calm lagoon at high tide and some of the island's best reef just offshore. Quiet, but within easy reach of everything.
