Unique experience and the friendliest staff imaginable. I highly recommend and would 100% stay again. Location is perfect across the street from the hustle of the beach, but with a little pool/garden sanctuary to retreat to at the end of the day. Restaurant is also fabulous and worth a try. Highly recommend the guanchos!

Villas Kalimba is a little piece of heaven within heaven that is Samara. Small, well managed property with the nicest people truly living for hospitality. Matteo and the rest of the crew made us feel so welcome and comfortable. Everything was 10 out of 10.

Loved our stay at Villas Kalimba, perfect location to the beach and the town is easy to navigate. The villa we had was adorable and we spent much of our time on the covered patio. The pool was refreshing and the bar and restaurant provided delicious food and drinks. The staff is extremely friendly and very helpful. If we come to Samara again we will definitely stay at Villas Kalimba!

We brought a merry band of 16 family members and housed all but two on property. The Villa Kamar was perfect for a gathering place with well appointed, spacious accommodations with an expertly maintained pool. The management was responsive and helpful (addressing many dozens of emails as I spent a year planning for the trip). They arranged for transport from the airport, an excellent private chef and whatever else we asked for.

We loved our stay at Villas Kalimba! The property is beautiful and lush, and our villa was well equipped with a full kitchen, two full bedrooms and full bathrooms. Perfect for our family of four! It was just a short walk to the beach, supermarket and everything within town was less than a 10 minute walk. The staff was friendly and helpful! They even lent us beach toys for our kids. We would highly recommend Villas Kalimba!

Villas Kalimba was the perfect place for our little family to relax and enjoy the beauty of Samara. The hotel has a beautiful secluded pool, really helpful staff, generous breakfasts and a well stocked hotel boutique. Just a 2 min walk to the beach and lots of restaurants on the door step. I would recommend staying here to anyone.

4.5. Our family had a wonderful holiday at Villas Kalimba in Samara! We are a family of 5 (three teens) so we rented Villa Sandy. It was beautiful, clean and cool. Our girls loved the pool and the “aesthetics” of our villa. The only drawback was how far we were from the beach. I assumed that all the villas were part of the same compound- but they aren’t. Samara Rocks, which is a remote compound with 3 villas, is about a mile away from the Villas Kalimba compound. And the road between the compounds was pretty busy and had no shoulder, so we couldn’t walk or bike safely. A car was necessity, which we had. The folks at Villas Kalimba were so kind and friendly. They let us park in the Kalimba lot (across the street from beach) every day for our beach time. And after the beach, we’d spend an hour or two at the pool/ restaurant/ bar area which is also really nice and has amazing drinks & food! We will be back, but when we return it will be to the main compound.
