Zuri Zanzibar is the island’s standout design hotel. It sits on a beautiful stretch of Kendwa Beach on Zanzibar’s northwest coast. The sea here is calm and good for swimming all day, with little effect from the tides. The sunsets are the best on the island.

Bungalows, Suites and Villas

Stylish bungalows, suites and villas spread down green, landscaped grounds to the white sand. Each one has a private terrace or garden. The design mixes modern style with Zanzibari craft and color. Rooms are cool, bright and full of texture. Villas suit families and groups who want more space.

Dining and the Spice Garden

Several restaurants and bars serve everything from Swahili seafood to beach-club favorites. Dinner by the water is a nightly highlight. The resort’s special spice garden honors the island’s history as the “Spice Island.” Guided walks explain cloves, vanilla, cinnamon and more.

Spa, Pool and Activities

The ocean-view spa offers treatments with local oils and spices. There is a lovely pool above the beach. The water sports center arranges snorkeling, diving, kayaking and sailing. Day trips include sunset dhow cruises, Stone Town tours and spice farm visits. Or simply claim a sun lounger and do nothing at all.

The Perfect Safari Finish

Zuri Zanzibar pairs perfectly with a northern Tanzania safari. Direct flights link Zanzibar with Arusha and the Serengeti airstrips. After dusty days in the bush, the Indian Ocean feels like a reward. For a barefoot-luxury beach finish to your trip, Zuri is the island’s finest choice.

Best Time to Visit

Zanzibar is warm all year. The driest months are June to October and again from December to February. Kendwa’s beach barely changes with the tide, so swimming is good all day in every season. Most guests stay four to seven nights after a safari. Zuri suits honeymooners, families and groups alike. Direct flights link the island with Arusha and the Serengeti airstrips, so the beach is closer than you think.
