The name ‘Maji’ was chosen because it means ‘water’ in Swahili, Africa’s most precious resource, and reflects the stunning ocean view that the guesthouse has to offer.
Overlooking the Serengeti Plains 20 years ago, I had a dream of owning a small hotel in Africa. After managing hotels in Kenya, Arusha & Zanzibar, Tanzania and travelling throughout the African continent from Addis Ababa to Zimbabwe, Ghana, Togo & Morocco in between, I have finally fulfilled that dream in Swakopmund, Namibia. The journey took me from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, because I always longed for the sea. That is why I fell in love with Villa Maji’s location which offers stunning ocean views and hopefully… a little magic.
Villa Maji's vision is to share our passion for Africa and exotic adventures throughout the continent with our guests.

For our vacation, we were looking forward to some peace and relaxation. At Villa Maji, we got that in spades! After breakfast in the sunlit and tastefully decorated dining room we went for a stroll on the beach and had a dip in the ocean. We read our books in the sun on the patio, and at night we enjoyed the sunset with a cocktail from the lounge upstairs.... Read this review

I most definitely recommend Villa Maji as the place to go for those who are looking for a friendly but also well-organised atmosphere, a strikingly beautiful setting – both inside and outside, a gorgeously trimmed bedroom with a wonderfully comfortable bed at night, and immediate access to the beach and the constant sound of the ocean.
