Zuri Zanzibar has been recognized as the first hotel in the world to be awarded by the EarthCheck’s Sustainable Design Gold Certification. The award reflects the resort unwavering commitment to sustainability, by making positive changes to reduce the environmental footprint and improve social impact.
THE HOTEL
Is not made up of rooms; just villas, and bungalows. Each separated from one another to attain absolute privacy, and all of them outfitted with outdoor showers and large terraces. The size of plot could easily accommodate twice as many houses, but we decided to build only 56 of them. Nestled on a west-facing slope, most of the units enjoy direct sea-views. And 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, we did not want to compromise the quality of your connection with the rest of the world, which is why we have built own dedicated fast internet line to the mainland – the only hotel in Zanzibar to date!
THE GARDEN
Is the icing on the cake. I do not mean the private spice garden covering a quarter of our land – the only one of its kind in the area. I mean that 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.
THE BUNGALOW
Designed to provide the ultimate in coziness, the bungalows are equipped with a mix of contemporary and curated local furniture and decorated with a range of African artwork. The outdoor showers complement the gleaming modern bathrooms indoors and the large private terraces provide an extended area that is ideal as an outdoor living room.
THE SUITES
The exclusive suites all enjoy a double-sized terrace, private outdoor jacuzzi, and a separate living room and bedroom, and offer the very best of Zuri Zanzibar‘s excellence.
THE VILLAS
Set mainly in an exclusive oceanfront location with your own stretch of private beach and jacuzzi, the luxuriously appointed villas enable you to enjoy your own private paradise.
