About the host

Hosted by Talal Mohamed

Host profile image
I’m passionate about Zanzibar and love sharing the beauty, warmth and relaxed lifestyle of the island with guests from around the world.

As a local host, I enjoy helping guests discover more than just the beaches. I’m happy to share recommendations for places to visit, local experiences, restaurants and activities, while making sure guests feel comfortable and welcome throughout their stay.

I created these apartments to give guests a more personal and spacious alternative to a traditional hotel — a place where you can enjoy the beach, wake up to the Indian Ocean and experience Zanzibar at your own pace.

What I enjoy most about hosting is meeting people from different countries and helping them create wonderful memories in Zanzibar. I take pride in being responsive, helpful and available whenever guests need assistance.

Whether you're visiting for a romantic getaway, family holiday, adventure or simply some peaceful time by the ocean, my goal is to make your stay relaxing, comfortable and memorable.

Welcome to Zanzibar — I hope you enjoy your stay as much as I enjoy sharing this beautiful island with you.

Why they chose this property

I chose Uroa because it offers the perfect balance of beautiful beachfront living, tranquillity and authentic Zanzibar charm.

What I love most is the peaceful atmosphere. The apartment is right by the Indian Ocean, where you can enjoy beautiful sea views, relaxing beach walks and the natural rhythm of island life without the crowds of the busier resort areas.

Uroa also gives guests the opportunity to experience a more authentic side of Zanzibar, with local villages, friendly residents and a relaxed coastal atmosphere nearby. At the same time, many of the island's popular attractions, restaurants and activities are within easy reach by car.

For me, Uroa is special because it allows guests to slow down, enjoy the ocean and experience Zanzibar at a more relaxed pace.

It is the kind of place where you can start your morning with a coffee on your private balcony, spend the day exploring the island, and return in the evening to the peaceful sound of the sea.

What makes this property unique

What makes this apartment special is the combination of direct beachfront living, a private balcony and beautiful Indian Ocean views — giving you the freedom and space of a private apartment with the beach right outside.

The spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout is ideal for couples, families or friends travelling together. Both bedrooms have their own ensuite bathroom and air conditioning, while the open-plan living area and fully equipped kitchen make longer stays comfortable and convenient.

Step onto your private balcony to enjoy your morning coffee with an ocean view, relax after a day exploring Zanzibar, or simply watch the changing colours of the sea.

Located in peaceful Uroa, the apartment offers a more relaxed and authentic Zanzibar experience away from the busiest resort areas, while still providing easy access to the island's attractions and activities.

We also provide Wi-Fi, private parking and solar backup for essential lighting, fans, TV and Wi-Fi during power interruptions.

Above all, this is a place to slow down, enjoy the Indian Ocean and experience Zanzibar at your own pace.
