Zuri Zanzibar

Location and Environment: The resort is situated on one of the most beautiful beaches of Zanzibar with stunning sunset views and turquoise waters. The lush greenery and well-maintained grounds provide a serene and picturesque setting. The private and pristine beach offers a perfect escape for relaxation.

We absolutely loved our stay at Zuri Zanzibar. The bungalows were a wonderful surprise — beautifully designed, set in the middle of lush greenery, and offering great privacy. The housekeeping was excellent, and everything was always spotless. The food was also fantastic; we dined at Maisha every night and the chef’s daily suggestions were consistently amazing. The staff were friendly, warm and always willing to help. At one point my husband had a stomach issue, and it was a relief to know that the hotel has a doctor available on-site until 10 p.m. The beach is truly beautiful, with turquoise waters and fine white sand, perfect for long walks. The water was warm, clean, and very pleasant for swimming. One interesting detail is that the tide difference is quite small. There are many Masai vendors around, but they were always respectful and polite — we even enjoyed chatting with them and learning about their traditions. I highly recommend Zuri Zanzibar and would happily return without any hesitation.

This place will hold a special place in our hearts forever! I was sobbing as I was walking down to reception to leave and my husband was tearing up as well. We have travelled so many places all over the world and I have to say the staff here were some of the absolute nicest people we have ever met. Need to make special mention of Eric!!! He attended to us while we stayed in our suite and went above and beyond for us in every way! We were crying leaving mainly because we felt like we were now leaving a good friend!! He made our stay so special. Also want to mention Ben who was with us every morning, Yusef, one of the chefs and Hasan, who was the breakfast chef making us special eggs every morning! The resort is beautiful. We had plans to maybe go to stone town or take a boat to a different part of the island but we were so in love with Zuri we never wanted to leave. There were so many things to do that were included like daily yoga and workout twice a day, a garden spice tour on the grounds, movie nights, fire and Maasai shows during sunset and much more. We did the jacuzzi suite which was incredible and half board. We are drinkers and ordered bottles of wine at dinner and drinks during the sunset shows and felt the prices were very reasonable for a 5 star resort. We don’t eat lunch normally so we are happy with the half board choice! Thank you everyone!!! We are already planning our trip back for next year!
