10/10 Exceptional

Excellent stay even though it rained 2 full days while I was there. The room and grounds are gorgeous. The bathtub and outside shower are amazing. Note there’s no wifi in the villas but you can download in the main dining area. The meals were scrumptious. You will not leave hungry. The fresh juices were delicious and the tuna poke bowl was a favorite. The dining staff is very attentive and would bring me seconds of what I liked before even thinking to ask. They even packed me a breakfast as I had an early flight. The beach is beautiful though it is a little rocky when you first enter the water and then it’s fine. I snorkeled which was great. I had a good massage though I felt like the staff needed a bit more training but my expectations may have been high due to reception and the dining staff’s treatment. Highly recommend if you want to get it away from all. Truly a beautiful place.

The feeling here, from the moment you arrive, is one of bliss. The limited number of rooms makes it feel like you are in your own private villa with some visitors occasionally dropping by. The grounds are impeccably maintained, the staff all smiles and always happy to help, and the food, better than we would have expected. In some cases much better. The only issue here, and it's only an issue for some, is the on-again off-again wi-fi availability. But if that;s your biggest concern, this isn't the resort for you. That aside, the Aiyana is an outstanding property in every way. . . .

The property was in disrepair and the staff seemed untrained. There was no WiFi in the rooms (which was not mentioned when we booked the stay) and VERY limited hot water (and sometimes the water did not work at all. There is honestly nothing I liked/can recommend about this place.

This property has everything. There’s a whole welcoming committee that greets you with lemongrass juice and the owner gave us an thorough tour of the property. I can’t say enough about how gorgeous our villa was. Once you are there you never want to leave. The customer service was the best I’ve seen while traveling. The food is exceptional. The high end accommodations make you feel comfortable. They have set a benchmark for an exquisite experience.

Beautiful,uniquely designed luxury boutique resort
The Aiyana is a beautifully designed modern resort located about two hours’ drive north from the Pemba Island Airport. It offers excellent, comfortable accommodations, very good food, very friendly staff, and great quality bedding in the spacious suites, each with a large comfortable sofa in the living room. It’s a great place for divers, as Afro Divers will pick you up with their boat or car, depending on the dive site for the day. Highly recommended!

Hidden gem
This hotel is an oasis of relaxation for those looking for an escape from the buzzing heart of the city and that in the truest sense possible, as there is no service on the island except from the local providers and the wi-fi is restricted to the common areas. The location is spectacular, the spacious and very clean villas overlooking the azure waters. The food is excellent, especially the diverse menu for lunch and thematic dinners. We had a very nice surprise organized by the Aiyana team: secluded dinner on the beach! It was an indelible experience! However, I feel like the breakfast options could be more diversified as well as the service. The coffee comes very slow, at the end of the breakfast and personally I prefer it served first. The wine list could also be more diversified. Overall, the service and staff were very friendly and catering to our every demand. There are also plenty of activities to do, mostly aquatic as the marine wildlife is absolutely incredible; there is no time to get bored. I recommend a new set of bicycles as the existing ones are really old for those wanting to explore the village. I highly recommend this hotel, as the French say « c’est un coin de paradis sur cette île ».

Aiyana was a beautiful experience! The manager Filipe received me upon arrival and gave me a tour of the property. I stayed in a private villa with a pool, the villa has been designed to perfection. With every detail of the room well thought out. The outdoor shower, star gazing beds upstairs, beautiful bath tub, extremely comfortable bed, you name it, they had it covered.The team went the extra mile to make every day special. I will be back!

Perfect Honeymoon Destination
Incredibly designed, beautiful property on what feels like a secluded island. We had an absolutely lovely stay. Ownership has transitioned (was formerly run in partnership with Constance Hotels) and it seems that service has slipped a bit as a result. The staff is incredibly kind and eager to please, but you can tell that some lack the formal training and attention to detail that comes with operating under a larger, more established operation.

This property is stunning. The villas are beautiful and have views over the beach and the sea. Our villa had a private pool, which was inviting and refreshing. The hotel pool is also lovely. The landscaping is beautiful, with bougainvillea draped over the white stone buildings. It is a lovely property and the people are amazing and the food is great.

Even better than the website and video!
This property is pure magic. While it is on the opposite end of the island from the airport, the hour-long drive gives you an amazing feel and perspective on just how unspoiled the island really is. From the moment you arrive - full staff on hand with cool towels, tea and snacks to every single day part ... they are there to help your stay be the very best it can be. The property and rooms are stunning ... massive and every single detail has been thought of wherever you go. The sand is so soft, you sink down a fair few inches as you walk along it. All meals are super delicious with high standards in detail, cuisine and big flavour. Ekaterina is amazing and hooked me up with Luca and Mike from Swahili Divers. Did two dives - Coral Gardens is just that ... beats any of the diving I've done in the Caribbean. They also suggested I take a bike ride over to Vumawimbi Beach - again, stunning, stunning, stunning. It was just me and felt super safe and worth the time for sure. The last night is super special - I won't give it away but I was so thrilled with the whole night. I cannot say enough about The Aiyana; it's a must do if you are contemplating island time after a safari or quite frankly, an alternative to the Maldives with more culture given the local villages.
