Our stay at The Aiyana Pemba was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first moment, we were welcomed by an unbelievably kind and attentive team that made us feel completely at home. The level of hospitality here is truly exceptional — every wish seems to be anticipated before you even express it. A special thank you goes to Mr Ashok and his incredible team. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine care created an atmosphere we have never experienced anywhere else in the world. They are, without exaggeration, among the best hosts we have ever encountered. The food was outstanding — fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor every single day. Dining here is a true highlight. The location itself is simply breathtaking. The resort offers perfect access to a stunning, almost untouched beach with crystal-clear water and a peaceful, natural setting that feels like paradise. The unspoiled surroundings make it an ideal place to truly relax and disconnect. If you are looking for a place that combines luxury, authenticity, and heartfelt hospitality, The Aiyana Pemba is absolutely unmatched. We cannot recommend it highly enough and are already dreaming of coming back.

“Hidden JEWEL - DO NOT READ”

I should not give a 5 star, because this one is a hidden GEM and should stay like this forever. It was heartbreaking for our family to leave this place, the fantastic staff and the owner Ashok. No words could ever describe the experience we had. It would be too long and not accurate enough. If you… Mais

I should not give a 5 star, because this one is a hidden GEM and should stay like this forever. It was heartbreaking for our family to leave this place, the fantastic staff and the owner Ashok. No words could ever describe the experience we had. It would be too long and not accurate enough. If you go there, you will leave one of the most special experience you will ever have. Talk to the staff, talk to the owner, understand the history of it. Do the excursions, have your breakfast on a sandbank, enjoy the food and all the special attentions the staff will create for you. Understanding the place and its history makes you feel different. And you will never want to quit. We have had memories that will stay with us for life. Many thanks to all for the warm welcome, incredible service and all the small and big attentions, gifts and amongts all, the fantastic experience.

Upon my arrival at Hotel Aiyana, I immediately sensed I was entering a truly special place. Really big thank you to Max, his father, and the entire staff for their warm hospitality during the entire stay in this beautiful hotel. It's really rare to meet in a person owners who are so deeply committed to ensuring their guests have a wonderful experience. Their dedication, passion and hard work shine through in every aspect of this lovely hotel. For us was Aiyana not just a hotel. You get there the feeling of home from the very first moment. I have to mention that food experience here is absolutely amazing especially for seafood lovers. The owner Mr. Ashok is also the chef. He created a menu that not only delights the taste, but also highlights the flavors of the area. Each dish was beautifully presented and reflecting the artistic spirit that permeates the hotel. The stunning artwork throughout the property adds a distinctive charm, making Aiyana a visual delight. The garden is a haven, brimming with a variety of plants, flowers, and trees, showcasing remarkable attention to detail. What truly distinguishes Aiyana is its dedication to the local community. It’s so inspiring to witness how they’ve created job opportunities and even built a primary school. After many Conversations with local, you can hear their pride in being part of this initiative. They haven’t just built a hotel, but they’ve fostered a legacy of hope and growth for the community. The hotel offers many of excursions, such as trips to the sandbank, sailing, fishing, and more. Very experience for me was visiting the school. It was emotional, and although I regretted not bringing gifts for the children, Hamzi, our guide who was born in Makangale village,offered to take me to the shop to buy sweets for them. If you plan to visit, I highly recommend, the joy on the children’s faces was priceless! Reflecting on my time at Aiyana, it belongs to place where I definitely want to return. It’s rare to feel such a connection in the hospitality world. In a time when connections can feel fleeting, Hotel Aiyana stands out as a beacon of community and warmth. I fully recommend this place to anyone looking for an unforgettable stay in Pemba. Thank you for everything:)

“STEPPING INTO PARADISE...”

Wow if you want to discover paradise look no further than this hotel! It really is like taking a step into heaven.

Wow if you want to discover paradise look no further than this hotel! It really is like taking a step into heaven. The beach is out of this world and the sea is stunningly clear and just incredible to swim in. The sand is so fine it squeaks as you walk. Peaceful and tranquil in every way! I was dubious about taking young children to such a remote part of the world but Max and his father (the owners) and all the lovely staff made us feel immediately at ease. My husband got an ear infection and a doctor was immediately called onsite to help him. Pemba Island itself is the most unspoilt. If we could all rewind the clock to what the world was born to look like this is it! So much wildlife/ greenery/ clear oceans. A place that hasn't been ruined by the modern world. I pray it always stays like this! The hotel itself is so clean/ fresh and luxurious. All the food was so delicious too! The staff super friendly too. Don't hesitate to book! We can't wait to go back!
