Just returned from a two week stay in Africa ending our safari at Mahale and Selous with 5 days at Baraza. All I can say is WOW!! It is a beautiful place with the most luxurious accomodations. The food was outstanding in every respect-- diversity, taste, quality, and amount. The staff is top notch, friendly and really makes you feel... more

There seems to be a dearth of good quality, family accommodation all over the world, but boy does Baraza make up for it. We are fairly well travelled and have been fortunate enough to stay in many good hotels, in many different countries over many years, however we can truly say that we have never before found anywhere that comes... more

Located on a beautiful beach on an isolated portion of Zanzibar, this hotel strives for perfection. great villas remind you of a sultan's palace. Excellent food for Zanzibar. Amazing spa. Great pool. Phenomenal staff. I would return without hesitation more

We stayed at Barraz for several nitghts at the end of safaris through Tanzania. Although the power from the mainland had not been restored, the resort and staff not only coped well, but we saw no lapses at all. The villas are very large and inviting on hot (almost stifling) days, with a plunge pool to cool off and so... more

A unique experience. Every single detail has been thought to ensure you enjoy and relax. The decoration is amazing and the service is so efficient and personal that you feel you have arrived where you really wanted. The beach is wonderful both in low and high tides and it is perfect for long walks or bathing. We lived a second... more

Quite simply the finest luxury resort hotel I have ever stayed in. It is sufficiently small to probably still be called boutique! The quality of the infrastructure was magnificant, the staff the most polished and helpful, in their entirety that I have ever encountered. Nothing was too much trouble and everything that was promised was achieved. The hotel has a... more

What a magical place! My husband and I stayed at the Baraza for 7 nights after a safari in the Serengeti and we couldn't have picked a better place. It is probably the best hotel I ever stayed at. The beach is beautiful, the villas are amazing (it is well worth it to book an Ocean Front villa!!!!). The food... more

Everything about Baraza took my breath away. It was by far the nicest resort I've ever stayed at. After the flight and drive from the airport, it was wonderful to be greeted by staff with cool towels and delicious fruit juice. And it only got better from there. The villas are gorgeous and spacious, and the staff didn't overlook any... more

As you approach the hotel, it seemed daunting, but not for long.The reception staff were very welcoming and thorough. The rooms are well spaced out and has a mediterranean feel to it. The room itself (ours was a family room) was a sight for sore eyes. The rooms were clean, cool (26/30 deg celcius outside). Each room( I believe) had... more
