Zuri Zanzibar Hotel & Resort
Zanzibar, Tanzania, Zanzibar
Opened 2017
“Zuri” means “beautiful” in swahili, which is the language of the island of Zanzibar. And that is precisely the feeling that you will experience in this 12 hectare micro-universe. The hotel is not made up of rooms; just villas, and bungalows. Each separated from one another toattain absolute privacy, and all ofthem outfitted with outdoor showers and large terraces. Nestled onawest-facing slope, most ofthe units enjoy direct sea-views.
And the ceilings reach for the sky: African-style roofing delivers a breathtaking cathedral-like feeling over your bed and cannot be compared to anything you would find in busy Western cities. On the other hand, being so far away from civilization, Zuri’s team did not want to compromise the quality of your connection with the rest of the world, which is why they have built their own dedicated fast internet line to the mainland — the only hotel in Zanzibar to date!

Alternatively, take a trip during the day for a refreshing sail & swim experience topped-up with a delicious lunch on the beach. Book at the Wimbi Water Sports Center or contact the Zuri team for more details.
The Beach
Was the reason why the hotel’s owner bought the land many years ago. Unlike most Zanzibar beaches where one must walk 500m to swim at low tide, this beach, settled in the large lagoon, is always perfect. Zuri’s beach is one of the best on Earth. It is not just the white sand and the incredible color of the turquoise Indian Ocean, but also the local way of life, which is so cheerful and optimistic. When you see the dhows (the traditional wooden sailing boats) at a distance during the spectacular sunsets, you do not need to practice mindfulness or meditation training to enjoy the present moment and understand the power of now.
The Garden
Is the icing on the cake. Zuri itself IS the garden. All the villas and bungalows are just part of an enormous tropical park which you can enjoy by walking through and investigating. Hundreds of gardeners and landscape designers needed more than two years to select all the trees and flowers, in which you can bask. The result is an enormous tribute to the pinnacle of Zanzibar and its rich historical legacy.
Spice Garden
Relax in the hotel’s beautiful green oasis, or in the private “pods” in the Spice Garden. The lush Zuri Spice Garden is the perfect place for a stroll and meditation as the five different glades are lush with an array of diverse plants. Here guests can enjoy cooking classes with one of the hotel’s chefs and enjoy an interactive and authentic way to discover more about Swahili cooking.
Diving Center
Zuri Zanzibar benefits from a fantastic location right in front of Tumbatu Island with its turtle-nestling zone and close to Mnemba Atoll Marine Park, two of the best spots in Zanzibar for diving and snorkeling. The hotel can arrange the latest equipment for your rental, book trips for snorkeling and diving and organize direct pick up at the resort, which, combined with speedboat transport, will save you time. PADI certified courses are also available.
Book & DVD Library
Book lovers will be in their own paradise when they visit the hotel’s book & DVD library, located in the reception area. The book collection offers a wide selection of international books, all-time classics of European literature, books about Zanzibar, Tanzania, Africa and design... in four words a “heaven for book lovers”! Then there is the DVD that will please all movie lovers with more than 500 DVDs, including some of the best movies of the last five decades, ranging from comedy to drama, from old-time classics to Oscar winners.
Stone Town
This UNESCO protected town is the cultural and historical heart of Zanzibar. Be part of a unique mixture of African, Indian, Arab and European cultures when you stay at this beautiful beach hotel in Zanzibar, Tanzania. Stroll past a labyrinth of houses and mosques, cafes and restaurants, shops and bazaars and take a walk through history. Enjoy the unique atmosphere and market vibes of the Darajani and Forondhani Gardens at sunset and taste delicacies from Swahili and Zanzibari cuisine. Visit the first museum dedicated to Freddie Mercury.
Dining
Famous Zuri DJ sundowners
The iconic “Sunset Zuri” event with DJ or local live band takes place several evenings per week on the Zuri beach front. The most magical moment in Kendwa — the incredible sunset — will be even more fascinating if it is accompanied by Zuri’s special selection of wine, drinks and salty bites. It is a perfect option how to spice up the end of another day of your holiday.
Main restaurant & bar
The Upendo Restaurant overlooks the entire resort and serves international cuisine with an African/Indian Ocean twist.

Guests can enjoy its one and only fusion cuisine that mixes Southern European and Indian Ocean cuisine throughout the day, and, upon reservation, typical Middle Eastern and Omani food for dinner under the pool’s pergola.
Beach restaurant & bar
The beach restaurant & bar embraces its natural surroundings with modern, yet authentic, features. You can enjoy finger food and small bites whilst admiring the Kendwa beach‘s amazing sunset and beautiful starry sky.

Dhow bar
