01 About Maya

A small island resort with all of it — done quietly.

Set on the Michamvi peninsula, Maya Zanzibar is a Tribute Portfolio resort designed for those with nowhere to be. Thirty-three villas sit among landscaped gardens and quiet paths — no crowds, no schedules, no noise after dark.

Days here are spent between a generous swimming pool, a sun-drenched spa, slow breakfasts on the terrace and sunsets watched from the rooftop. The island's famous spice farms, historic Stone Town and hidden corners all sit within an easy drive when you feel like moving.

About Tribute Portfolio
We came for four nights and stayed nine. Nobody here ever once tried to sell us anything — they just kept quietly getting everything right.
