Four kilometers south of Jambiani, Mikoko rises from a wild coastline with visible coral reefs that are millions of years old. The beach evolves with the changing tides, revealing coral rocks, sand bars, and lunar-like sandbanks for exploring on foot. The lagoon on Zanzibar's south east coast is spectacularly turquoise and is among the world's most beautiful.
On the other side, the surroundings change to green, lush and full of exotic birds. Don't be surprised if you see monkeys too.
The owners chose this land for its location, dozens of coconut trees and unique salt water fern, locally known as "mikoko". It's the part of Zanzibar they are proud to preserve.
In case you feel lonely, Mikoko Villa is a short taxi ride from the bustling villages of Jambiani and Paje in the north, as well as the more authentic Makunduchi and Kizimkazi in the south, known as the gateway to sailing among magnificent sandbanks, uninhabited islands and dolphins.

Design. Craftsmanship. Art
Mikoko Villa came out of genuine love for Zanzibar, obsession with great design and fascination with tradition and craftsmanship.
Mikoko is personal and was built to last.The villa's modernist lines, Tingatinga art, antique Zanzibar doors, hand carved furniture, terrazzo surfaces and hundreds of square meters of hand applied traditional lime plaster tell an interesting story.
