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 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!…

I cannot recommend ZURI enough! Everything from the service, room, and food choice to the pool, beach, and bar was truly five-star! We chose the bungalow with a sea view and were completely blown away by the stunning interior and views the room has to offer. Our booking included breakfast and dinner at the resort - the al la carte menu was extremely delicious and we highly rated the selection of food offered at the breakfast and dinner buffet! The resort offers a stunning infinity pool, immaculate beach, and spectacular sunset views. We spent our nights sat on the beach enjoying the great entertainment that was offered. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a luxurious stay in Zanzibar! Thank you to the amazing team for making our trip special.

If you want a a hotel that is out of this world zuri zanzibar should be your choice. We were amazed by the beauty of the hotel, the mesmerizing beach front, the outstanding service and attention to details, zuri zanzibar and their staff made our trip unforgettable. A big shout out and specific mention of appreciation to Romany the food and beverage manager at the hotel. He took our experience at the hotel to another level and was so generous to go out of his way to ensure we were comfortable and well taken care of. He is definitely one of the reasons we will be returning to Zuri. Another mention is for Pia who made us feel at home. She resembles the soul of Tanzania. Pure and Sweet. Thank you Zuri.
