Zuri Zanzibar
Overview
Set on the white sands of Kendwa Beach, Zuri Zanzibar is a design-led resort that merges contemporary African style with sustainability and cultural storytelling. Spanning 12 acres of landscaped gardens, the resort feels more like a lush coastal village than a traditional hotel – and it’s the first in Zanzibar to receive EarthCheck’s Sustainable Design Gold Certification.
The 56 bungalows, suites, and villas are thoughtfully positioned to offer privacy and serenity, many with outdoor showers, Jacuzzis, or private garden decks. Interiors are warm and textured, combining local artwork and handwoven furniture with subtle, modern touches. Days are spent practising yoga, exploring the spice garden, or swimming in the calm turquoise sea just steps from your door.
Dining is a celebration of Zanzibar’s Afro-Arabian heritage. Guests can choose between ocean-view fine dining, barefoot beach meals, or relaxed poolside lunches. The resort also offers cooking classes, cultural talks, and curated excursions to help guests engage more deeply with the island’s identity.
