Zuri Zanzibar
Zanzibar
Accommodation
Zuri Zanzibar consists of 56 bungalows, suites and beach villas overlooking the beach and situated close to the mesmerising azure waters of the Indian Ocean. All rooms are equipped with a mix of contemporary and curated local furniture and decorated with African artwork. Zuri Zanzibar has three different restaurants (Upendo, Maisha and the beach restaurant) and four bars offering a fusion of European, African, Arabic and Indian cuisine. There is also a wellness area, a yoga center and a 32m infinity pool.
The 46 bungalows (41m²) feature outside showers and generous private terraces (25m²), minibar, tea/coffee station, safe and double basin. Some of the units are interconnecting and ideal for families or close friends as they feature a large common terrace that works perfectly as an extended outdoor living room. All bungalows are located in the spacious garden and surrounded by lush greenery, with the blue of the ocean shimmering through the leaves. The large outdoor area with hammocks and lounge chairs is especially beautiful. The Jacuzzi Bungalows are identical to the standard bungalows but come with your own private jacuzzi.
The suites consist of an en-suite bedroom and a separate lounge/living room and are substantially larger than the bungalows, featuring 82m² living space plus a 50m² terrace. They are suitable for three guests and all offer a private jacuzzi. Please note that only the Ocean Front Suite is located directly at the beach, all other suites are scattered over the garden.
Three of the four villas have an exclusive oceanfront location and access to to a private beach section, which is equipped with sunbeds and offers the ideal spot for sundowners (Dhow Bar) and BBQ. The luxuriously appointed villas (2 x 2-bedroom villas with lounge, small kitchen, jacuzzi = 260m² living space) and 1 x 3-bedroom villa with infinity pool, lounge, jacuzzi, entertainment room, kitchen & dining area = 500m² living space are ideal for families. The forth villa, the Garden Villa, is situated close to the spice garden and features two en-suite bedrooms, a lounge, a small kitchen, jacuzzi = 317m² living space for up to four guests.
Location
Zuri Zanzibar is located in the very north of Zanzibar on Kendwa beach, which is one of the most beautiful beaches in Zanzibar, lined with palm trees and perfectly turquoise water. The beach slopes gently into the ocean, therefore swimming is possible even at low tide. The small island of Tumbatu is on view. Since the beach faces west, Zuri guests also get to enjoy the African sunset over the Indian Ocean. A combination hard to beat in Zanzibar.
The north of Zanzibar (Nungwi and Kendwa) was discovered by tourism early on and unfortunately some unsightly cheap hotels have settled here. Zuri Zanzibar, however, owns the most beautiful stretch of beach and a very wide strip of the beach is private and only available to hotel guests.
Zuri can be reached in about 1h20 drive from the airport.
Activities
Zuri 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 snorkelling.
The hotel can arrange the latest equipment for your rental, book trips for snorkelling and diving and organise direct pick up at the resort. Not far away, located on the beach, the WIMBI Water Sports Centre offers the rental of equipment for snorkelling, and various non-motorized water-sports.
