Travelers' Choice
Zuri Zanzibar offers a completely unique experience in Zanzibar for anyone that wants to try something off the beaten African tracks; a place that allows guests a feeling of peace and tranquility. The resort is nestled on the most beautiful white beach of the northern west shores of Unguja, 50 km from Stone Town and its international airport. The hotel’s private 300 meters west-facing beach is free of any tide-impact, allowing for safe swimming all day long and uniquely breath-taking sunsets. Combining elegant contemporary design from the team at Jestico+Whiles, with a considerate, sustainable build and an authentic African atmosphere, this Design Hotel member offers memorable, mindful, Indian Ocean escapes. Zuri Zanzibar is ecologically and socially responsive, offering lifestyle accommodation in 56 bungalows, suites and villas, that sits comfortably with Zanzibar’s culture, climate and geography.

Hotel's Favorite
This has to be one of the best places I've ever stayed in - the whole experience was just fantastic, right from the front gate through to the beach lounge area. The staff made great efforts to ensure everyone felt safe (hand sanitisers everywhere, extra masks available if you needed it, and staff wore masks themselves), which was a relief as this was my first trip during the pandemic. Food - great selection, both at the buffet for breakfast and themed dinners and for lunch at the restaurant by the pool. I truly enjoyed the local dishes on offer. Recommend getting the all inclusive so you get lunch + alcohol (breakfast and dinner was already included in my rate). Rooms - very tastefully done and thoughtful elements throughout, from electric sockets within reach of the bed, nightlights, cooling options, and a wonderfully comfy bed I wish I had at home! The turndown service each day was lovely - they dim the lights, put the mosquito nets down gracefully, leave water by the bed and give you the most amazing coconut cookies for a midnight snack! Such a nice touch. The resort itself - is sprawling, take time to walk around the little paths between the different villas, it is so green and lush. They do have a spa on site, I didn't get to use it. And they do have a yoga center which charges for classes, but they did have one free class on one day so I did that, so nice! The pool - fantastic, over 6 feet deep at one end so its amazing to swim in, great for laps, and the kids liked it too (saw a happy family spend time there). The beach - is gorgeous with lots of palm trees and well-spaced loungers. There is a bar down there who will bring you lunch and drinks. Attentive staff, and security guards at the edge of the beach who keep the basket and trinket vendors away. Great place to spend the day. The sunset is particularly gorgeous, given that the resort faces West. Special thanks to Nina, Hassan, Amina, Amir, Benezeck and the team at the beach for a wonderful stay!…

Zuri in Swahili means “beautiful” and our stay there was exactly that! From the moment you enter the gates you know you’re in for something special and extraordinary. Staying at Zuri is an experience in itself! We were blown away by the beauty of the lush gardens, the pristine beach, the thoughtful design and attention to detail. We also enjoyed the sunset bonfires on the beach, the well made cocktails at the beach bar, the amazing live band, the themed dinner buffets, and the beautiful spa. And, as if that is not enough, the staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed and accommodated. This review would not be complete without a special thank you to all the beautiful loving souls that work at Zuri who made our stay so incredible! Romany, Ramadhan, Juma, Davidson, Rehema, Johari, Habibu, Muana, Safina, Pia, Eric...and the rest of the crew, Thank you so much! We wish you and your families all the best and we can’t wait to be reunited with all of you again! Asante Sana❤️ P.S. We would definitely recommend taking the All Inclusive Offer as it can get quite pricey otherwise. It’s so worth it!…

Me and my husband Gustavo were there may 2021 for our elopement and honeymoon... the place is beautiful, the gardens are really amazing and gave us lots of privacy. Our room was really nice and clean. Food is really good, specially breakfast. We had so many nice experiences there: sunset yoga, sunset cruise, couples massage, sundowner... and our wedding! Staff was so friendly and welcoming! Special thanks to Romany and William who made our stay there unforgettable! We loved it and hope to go back in the near future!
