On the north-west coast of Zanzibar, Zuri Zanzibar sits on Kendwa Beach, 50 kilometres from Stone Town Airport. This west-facing shore gives you broad sand, calm swim time and rich sunsets. The setting feels tucked in nature, yet it keeps the island culture, spice trails and sea life within reach.
Rooms feel warm, leafy and cocooned. Choose Bungalows, Interconnected Bungalows, Jacuzzi Bungalows, Jacuzzi Suites, Ocean Front Suites, Garden Two Bedroom Villas and ocean front villas with two or three bedrooms. Outdoor showers, organic bathroom amenities, mineralised water, WiFi, fans, minibar, tea and coffee set the tone, while villas add butlers.
Unhurried days can feel full. Join wellbeing or yoga classes, wander the Spice Garden, try water sports, dive, play beach games or take the Sunset Dhow Zuri boat cruise. Local Mamas workshops, live music, sunset DJ sessions, movie nights, African Market Night and village tours add rich local texture.
Calm pleasures sit close at hand. You have Maua Spa, Maisha Wellness, a yoga centre, an indoor gym, a Wild Fitness area, a 32-metre infinity pool, and a water sports and diving centre. The Spice Garden, Spice House, sustainable gift shop, library, board games, Music Concierge and airport transfers add ease and character throughout.
Food carries spice, sea air and craft. Dining blends European, African, Arabic and Indian notes across three restaurants and four bars. Maisha Resto and Bar, Upendo Restaurant, Peponi Bar, Bahari Bar and Dhow Bar shape the mood. Dining by Design, cooking classes and the Spice Garden add local flair and warmth.
Special moments feel vivid on the west-facing beach. Zuri Zanzibar offers a wedding and event coordinator, private events in the Spice Garden, Dining by Design and sunset boat moments. Villas offer Jacuzzis, pools, and butler service, so anniversaries, proposals, and milestone trips can feel private, poised, and full of warmth.
