Hayam Villas Private Pool Villa
# Your Intimate Tiny Eco-Villa in the Heart of Real Zanzibar ✨🌴
A love story in 100 square meters of indoor/outdoor conscious luxury.
Small in size. Infinite in magic. Real in every way. This tiny eco-villa is for travelers who choose authenticity, support local communities, and embrace the beautiful imperfections of island life. If you want sanitized resort perfection, this isn’t your place. If you want to fall asleep to village sounds and wake up in paradise, welcome home.
## The space
🌴 Authentic Village Experience
This isn’t a resort, it’s authentic village life wrapped in boutique comfort. Our eco-villa features two cozy 25m² air-conditioned lofts, a jewel-sized private plunge pool, and a romantic Moroccan-inspired cabana where proposals are recreated, vows are whispered, and forever begins.
Located in Mwendewima village, steps from Jambiani Beach via a quiet sand road. You’ll wake to the melodic call to prayer from the nearby mosque, hear children’s laughter echoing through the streets, see mamas cooking traditional meals, and occasionally spot monkeys swinging through the trees. This is real Zanzibar, vibrant, beautiful, and alive with culture.
