At Hanging Fruit, we offer more than just a place to sleep—we offer a full Zanzibar experience. Our handpicked properties in Paje, Jambiani, and Stone Town come with:

• Flexible check-in times

• Personalized recommendations from us (we know all the best spots!)

• 24/7 guest support—whether it’s a lost key or late-night food tips

• Cleaning and linen services

• Local experiences and add-ons available upon request (think in-house massages, chef services, or airport pickups)

We’re a small team, so we’re responsive, kind, and genuinely invested in making sure your stay is smooth and memorable.

We’re not a big chain. We’re a couple who fell in love with Zanzibar and decided to share our favorite spaces with others. Every property we list is one we’ve personally selected for its charm, vibe, and good energy.

What sets us apart:

• Authenticity: You’ll feel like a guest in someone’s island home, not a stranger in a sterile apartment.

• Connection: We’re available before, during, and after your trip to support you, answer questions, and offer local insight.

• Local touch: We work with local staff, source decor and amenities from nearby artisans, and aim to uplift the community while you enjoy your stay.

You’re not just booking a bed—you’re joining a little ecosystem of joy, ease, and island magic.

Amenities vary by location, but all of our stays are designed for comfort, ease, and a little indulgence. Here's a taste of what you can expect:

• Fast Wi-Fi

• Comfortable beds with clean linens

• Private bathrooms with hot water

• Kitchen or kitchenette (some with full stoves, others with basic cooking gear)

• Drinking water provided

• Fans or air conditioning (depending on the space)

• Outdoor seating, balconies, or garden areas

• Books, local artwork, or little personal touches to make it feel like home

Special Paje perks? Our Paje property includes a private plunge pool—perfect for cooling off under the Zanzibari sun—and a projector setup for outdoor movie nights under the stars. It’s a vibe.

You’ll also get a local area guide from us and round-the-clock support in case you need anything from a beach bar tip to a taxi.

We treat your safety like we would our own. Here’s how:

• All properties are thoroughly cleaned before every stay by trusted team members.

• Linens and towels are washed professionally.

• Surfaces, doorknobs, bathrooms, and kitchen areas are sanitized.

• We only list properties that are in safe, well-lit, and secure locations.

• We’re available 24/7 in case of emergencies or if something doesn’t feel right.

• Many of our properties have secure gates or staff on-site.

We’re hands-on, which means if something isn’t right—we fix it fast.

We offer a curated mix of stays for every kind of traveler:

• Beach Villas in Paje & Jambiani: Few steps from the beach, perfect for kitesurfers, sun-chasers, and ocean dreamers.

• Apartments in Stone Town: Historic charm, central location—ideal for culture lovers and foodies.

• Hidden Gems: Unique and cozy spaces that don’t follow the usual mold. Think: treehouse vibes, tropical gardens, private plunge pools.
