The bungalows are perfect for couples, offering stunning garden or ocean views, while the suites provide extra space and comfort for families or groups. For the ultimate indulgence, the private villas feature expansive living areas, infinity pools, and direct access to the beach. Interiors are inspired by Zanzibari design, with handcrafted furnishings, natural materials, and luxurious amenities such as outdoor showers and private terraces.

Dining

Zuri Zanzibar delivers an exceptional culinary experience, with a focus on fresh, local, and international flavours. Guests can savour Swahili-inspired dishes and international cuisine at Upendo, the resort’s main restaurant, which offers a relaxed ambiance and stunning ocean views. Maischa specialises in fusion-style cuisine, blending Asian, African, and European influences, while the beachfront Bahari Grill is ideal for seafood lovers, serving freshly caught fish in an intimate setting. The resort’s Peponi Bar offers a vibrant atmosphere with signature cocktails, while the Dhow Bar provides refreshing drinks directly on the beach. For a personalised experience, guests can enjoy private dining in the Spice Garden or a romantic candlelit dinner under the stars.
