"HOW DO YOU BALANCE YOUR PERSONAL LIFE WITH THE DEMANDS OF RUNNING A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS IN ZANZIBAR?"

"Balancing my personal life with the demands of running a successful business in Zanzibar is a priority for me. Before venturing into the hospitality industry, I had a passion for horse riding and was actively involved in competitions back in Hungary. I represented the Hungarian national team as the only female rider and participated in the National, European and World Cups and Championships.

Two years ago, I decided to explore new opportunities and discovered the Garden Beach Villa in Zanzibar. Taking over the running business allowed me to pursue my entrepreneurial aspirations while maintaining a connection to my equestrian passion. I have been fortunate to retain the existing staff who are exceptional and take care of the day-to-day operations.

Currently I visit Zanzibar every 2-3 months staying for 2-3 weeks. During my time there, I allocate my days to both the villa and horse riding. I devote half of my day to overseeing bookings accounting and managing finances for the villa. The other half of my day is dedicated to horse riding which provides me with a sense of balance and personal fulfillment.

In the near future, I plan to retire from competitive horse riding and shift my focus entirely to the villa business and other potential investments, such as hotels or additional villas. This transition will allow me to dedicate more time and attention to the growth and development of the Garden Beach Villa.

Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is made possible by the incredible staff at the villa. They are trustworthy, competent, and have received excellent training from the previous owner. Their expertise and commitment ensure the smooth operation of the business even when I am not physically present."
