On a 240 metre sweep of fine sand, Baraza sits beside award-winning Bwejuu Beach, about 50 minutes from the airport or Stone Town. The coral reef runs along this eastern shore. You feel close to the small village of Bwejuu, yet the resort maintains a secluded beach atmosphere.

Villas feel palatial yet private. Choose Ocean Front One Bedroom Villas, One Bedroom Villas, Sultans Two Bedroom Villas, Garden Two Bedroom Villas or the Royal Beach Two Bedroom Villa. Space ranges from 148 to 254 square metres, with freestanding baths, dressing rooms, large terraces, Sultan lounge beds and plunge pools.

Sea-led days can feel calm or bright. You can swim in the pools, practise yoga, play tennis, snorkel from the beach, take out kayaks and use reef shoes for gentle lagoon time. Water sports, including sailing, kitesurfing, windsurfing, and scuba diving, are available nearby at an extra cost.

Comfort arrives with a sense of theatre. You have a spa with a lap pool, yoga, a tennis court, a fitness centre, a library, a boutique, a meeting room, and a business centre. The water sports centre and PADI scuba diving centre add a touch of sea, while Baraza Kids Club and pools keep family stays smooth and easy.

Dining carries the spice route into each plate. All Inclusive covers breakfast, lunch, dinner, afternoon tea, coffee, soft drinks, mineral water, beer, house wines, cocktails and in-house drinks. The main dining room, breakfast restaurant, poolside lunch restaurant, Pool Bar, and Dhahabu Bar shape each part of the day.

Grand occasions suit this setting. Baraza can arrange a private Island Ceremony and guide wedding plans with care. Honeymooners gain romance through villa privacy, plunge pools, lantern-lit design and long dinners. Families also have space to gather, with two-bedroom villas and the Royal Beach Villa for milestone trips.
