ザ・アイヤナ

Service was bad. Took so so long to get anything. Food, towels, snack, help, anything and everything. The bar tenders were great and I would say for every 5 employees I only enjoyed 1. Some were amazing and fun and sweet and what I expected while everyone else was not. 2/5 because the bad service made our trip frustrating. They also missed small details like towels always being stained and dirty and only 3 sun beds by the pool. Other than that gorgeous place and quiet. The beach was nice and everything was close by but not so crammed that there was lots of overlap between guests. The rooms were nice and always clean and the food was fine. It wasn’t the best vacation food I’ve had but it was good. Either a hit or miss though I experienced with the food. Overall I would maybe recommend to anyone who wants a really quiet vacation. Side note there were a few cats on the property and I LOVED them! Super sweet but loud meowers

Love at first sight ♥️♥️♥️ aiyana resort hotel is a luxury hotel offering exceptional beauty, comfort, hospitality and impeccable service. You loved the magical view from the bungalows overlooking the beach at sunrise and sunset. The beautiful beach with the « rock » A small island of greenery where you enjoyed a wonderful massage by the expert hands of Surer and Fatma, lulled by the waves. At arrival, We were enchanted by The dinner on the beach around a bonfire, with musicians and traditional songs and dances . The food was délicious , Fresh and varied. As a vegetarian, I was delighted. A special mention for Mary's sesame bread roasted over a wood fire. Delicious! We enjoyed snorkling with Ali and Djuma. we loved strolling along the magnificent tree-lined, flower-filled paths, which are admirably well-maintained. It smells of Heaven. We have been very touched and delighted to visit the school and the surrounding village by bicycle with our guide Hamis, discovering how the women of the village make soap and body oil from the seaweeds.

We were so happy to find the amazing Aiyana. Zanzibar island doesn’t stand a chance from what Pemba has to offer. Starting from the amazing structures, architecture, decoration, how every room looks absolutely different, specious, the gardens, the pool, every single detail is well-thought. The staff were super friendly and took care of any of our requests at any time of the day / night. We are so grateful to Mr Ashok, Owen, Abed and Max for their warm hospitality. We found more than just a hotel, we found a new home on another continent. Thank you for everything

Out of the world. The best example of barefoot luxury. A remote location, the startlingly clear waters, a beach of powdery sand to yourself. Aiyana offers this plus a hundred other things. The villas all are enormous, with the best beds, all the other things you would expect from a premium hotel - this in a fashion that is so laid back, you could just marvel. The staff are all truly excellent, laughing and joking and ever willing to do whatever you needed. The food is superb and well presented. And to enjoy that are the many spots where it is Served. The impressive restaurant, the cozy bar corner or somewhere in your private garden. Aiyana should go immediately on your bucket list. Thank you, everyone of the Aiyana family. Asante Sana.

I had the pleasure of staying at Aiyana and it exceeded my expectations, it was a surprise for our four children. It was my best experience, we really enjoyed. The location is breathtaking, with pristine beaches, the villas are spacious, private and beautifully designed, perfectly blending comfort and natural elegance. The bathrooms superb and my girl spent a lot of time there. The swimming pool was great for our boys who would spend most of their time there after breakfast. Me and my husband we got a relaxing massage from the spar. Just to share few things about the place without forgetting about dinners by the beach was highlighting of our stay. We enjoyed fresh, flavorful meals showcasing both local and international cuisine.

In a word … palatial. It’s no exaggeration to say that our 5 night experience was outstanding. The ambience is completely relaxed in what is literally an unspoilt tropical paradise. The hotel design incorporates nature into the architecture. Every aspect, both large scale and detailed has been imaginatively and innovatively thought through. Unlike some hotels where design is a substitute for substance, the Aiyana functions well. Our villa’s terrace with sea view, entrance hall, lounge, huge bedroom, even bigger bath/shower room plus an outdoor shower were all tastefully furnished. The large bed was oh so comfortable. There is a small price to pay for the remote location in that the WiFi needs an in-room router to be reliable and the satellite tv reception is unstable. The tranquil, long, white sand beach is pristine, backed by palms with guests well spaced apart (no rush to reserve a beach umbrella here). The only significant negative factor about the Aiyana is that the pool is ornamental, better for a dip rather than a swim. This is a pity because at anything much less than high tide the warm, clean sea is pretty much inaccessible because of the extensive exposed sharp coral rocks. So near and yet so far from the sea. In any case, bring rubber sea shoes! All the staff were ever helpful, the food was good although not outstanding. Finally our special thanks to Abeid who was hugely supportive, patient and went above and beyond when we needed assistance.
