The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and often anticipated our needs before we even asked. The food was delicious, our villa modern, spacious and spotlessly clean, and the overall service top-notch. One of the highlights was the Swahili night, featuring fantastic local dishes and an unforgettable acrobat performance. We also treated ourselves to a relaxing massage during our stay— just what we needed after our safari adventures. Although not beachfront, the resort is just a short walk through Jambiani village to the sea, or you can take a shuttle to one of their partner beachfront properties, which are equally well-designed and welcoming. That said, we actually preferred the peaceful charm of the Oasis itself. We’d come back in a heartbeat—and in fact, we’re already planning our return in 2026!

From the moment I arrived, I was particularly impressed by the team's exceptional welcome. The staff, from reception to services, demonstrates remarkable professionalism while maintaining genuine warmth. Their attention to detail and ability to anticipate guests' needs are truly outstanding. Every staff member I encountered was not only smiling and courteous but also genuinely eager to help, creating a welcoming and comforting atmosphere. The quality of the dining experience deserves special mention. The dishes served demonstrate true culinary expertise, combining fresh, high-quality ingredients with elegant and careful presentation. The flavors are well-balanced, offering a memorable gastronomic experience. The setting is simply magnificent. The environment perfectly combines modern comfort with refined and warm decoration. The attention paid to space layout, impeccable cleanliness, and overall ambiance contribute to creating a truly exceptional experience. What particularly stands out is how rare it is to find such a perfect combination of professional service and genuine hospitality. In today's fast-paced world, finding an establishment where staff truly takes the time to care for their guests while maintaining such high standards of service and quality is both refreshing and deeply comforting. Plenty of surprises ! We have not enough words to thank you . Good Job Regina .

This place will always have a special place in my heart, it is a real gem! Marissa (the owner of the place) makes you feel welcome from the first minute, she is also fun to talk to and extremely helpful! Very modern design with a touch of Zanzibar creates an amazing vibe! She takes care of every little detail to make sure you have a comfortable stay! The food was excellent too, especially the pancakes for breakfast!

Villa Juliana is a little gem and was perfect for us after a 10 day safari in Tanzania. The location is amazing, right on a beautiful beach, the room was spacious and clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We could not have asked for more. They went out of their way to make our stay a happy one and always had a big smile. Another lovely aspect was that the manager let us have the room until late at no additional cost, as we had a night flight. This was hugely appreciated and made our 42 hour travel back to NZ so much easier. Our only upset with Villa Juliana was that we had to leave! We would have liked to stay longer :-)

This place is amazing. A gorgeous setting next to the beach. The room is very spacious and clean (with daily cleaning). The included breakfast was delicious and the lunch and dinner options in the restaurant were great too. Last but not least: all the staff is super friendly and helpful. Charlotte, Martin and all the others: thank you for hosting us. We hope to come back in the future!

The staff are all really welcoming and friendly, especially Anna (manager) and Razaman (bar staff). Razaman taught us how to play Boa, an African board game which was great fun! The bungalows are separated from one another, there are only 6 separate bungalows and 4 two story ones behind so it is a nice small and quiet place to be. The bungalow has a private balcony where you have your breakfast and can have lunch and dinner there too if you wish. The bungalows are comfortable, clean and spacious enough. There is a modern, effective fan in the room which is sufficient (we prefer fans over a/c anyways). The shower was powerful. There is a bowl of water to dip your feet in before eating the bungalow to prevent sand getting everywhere. You are provided with beach towels as well as shower and hand towels. The cleaners come into the room 2x a day and make cute bed decorations and spray the room with a lovely scent! All the cleaners are friendly and do such a great job. The bungalow looks out onto the hotels patch of beach where there are loungers, plants, coconut trees and the beach bar for drinks and food. Just in front of that is the public part of the beach. It was great how the front of the hotel was kept quite natural with the coconut trees, plants and sand as unfortunately some of the hotels were built on massive concrete foundations…. There are also loungers by the pool. The pool is kept clean and has a platform you can lounge on and a small (but enough) space to swim in. The beach is kept clean (Jambiani village have a Saturday beach clean up that you can volunteer with), and the sea is lovely and warm. The food is good here, there are plenty of other hotels and beach huts in Jambinai and the next village up, Paje, so there is easy access to plenty of variety. Severa change their menu daily too. On Saturdays they host entertainment and a set menu, very romantic and cute set up by the pool.

Wonderful Vacation Days in a Great Accommodation I had the pleasure of spending a fantastic vacation here. The accommodation was not only beautifully located but also very clean. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful – I felt welcome from the very beginning. Whenever I had questions, both the owner and the staff were always there to assist me. The location was simply perfect! There were many restaurants and bars nearby, and the hotel is right by the sea – ideal for daily swimming and relaxing. The food was another highlight: freshly prepared every day and absolutely delicious. What I especially loved is that this accommodation is perfect for everyone – whether you’re traveling as a family, solo, or with friends, you’ll feel right at home. The rooms are also aesthetically designed and very cozy. Another great aspect was the help with planning daily excursions. The host assisted me in organizing my day, and everything was arranged professionally and smoothly. I felt completely comfortable and can highly recommend this accommodation!
