JoyB Resort

A garden in the heart of Zanzibar

Why JoyB

Small resort, generous in every way that matters

A garden, a pool, and shade

Lawns, mango trees, and a full length pool at the centre of it. JoyB is a calm, green pocket in the heart of the island, minutes from the airport.

Rooms made for rest

Every room has its own bathroom with a rain shower, plus AC or fan, a fridge, a kettle, and linen kept crisp. Designed for calm, not clutter.

More than a place to sleep

Most of the day at JoyB happens outside your room. Here is what you walk out into.

Loungers with rolled towels along the pool, waterfall running at the far end

The pool

A full length pool in the middle of the garden, with loungers, towels, and a waterfall at the shallow end.

The open air restaurant at night, wicker pendant lights over wooden tables

Restaurant and juice point

Breakfast under the thatch, Swahili cooking through the day, and a juice bar pressing whatever is ripe that morning.

Lawn and young palms running from the room doors down to the poolside

The garden

Mango trees, palms, and shaded corners with swing seats. The lawn runs right up to the room doors.

The resort

A calm place to call home
