Located on Pemba Island, situated off the eastern coast of Tanzania and north of Zanzibar, The Aiyana's surroundings are lush and green with Manta Beach within walking distance and Vumawimbi Beach close by. The Aiyana sits at the very north of the island within the vicinity of the Ngezi Forest Reserve.
Built using local knowledge and natural resources, this African getaway's tranquil atmosphere and remote setting makes it easy to embrace their ethos of 'just being'.
Accommodation at The Aiyana
The Aiyana has 30 spacious and inviting villas, all designed with neutral tones and modern touches. With direct beach access, each villa has views over the lagoon, coral reef and Indian Ocean, and feature en-suite bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers, plus open air lounge space, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of Pemba Island. The villas are clean and simple in their design but this works really well – it creates an elegant beach ambiance which contrasts nicely with the vibrant green tones of the island.
