The Aiyana Resort & Spa

Verani

The Aiyana Resort and Spa offers accommodation in Verani and features a restaurant. The resort has a year-round outdoor pool and views of the sea, and guests can enjoy a drink at the bar.

Certain rooms have a seating area for your convenience. Rooms are equipped with a private bathroom. Extras include bath robes and slippers. Aiyana is a must-go if you travel to Tanzania and especially to Zanzibar. The hotel is just amazing and the staff members are the most welcoming and caring people you can wish for. We spent 6 days there and had the best experience as a couple. We really hope we can come back very soon. We highly recommend their rock spa massage, during sunset, that is situated on a rock and that you can reach by a 3 min kayak drive, as well as their private dinner on the beach. Service and food are amazing.

Located near the village of Makangale in North Pemba, Gecko Nature Lodge Home of Swahili Divers the BEST dive center and Famous Gecko Restaurant features a dive centre. The family owned resort has a beach area, restaurant and a small bar. Pemba Island is famous for its scuba diving opportunities. A home away from home. The place is very remote and quiet. For nature lovers, it is a real paradise. Coconut crabs right on the property and many bush babies around at night. Food is excellent and staff very friendly and helpful. We went there to do our scuba certification and Mike the owner is the best teacher you can have. We stayed a week but wish we could have stayed longer.
