Zuri Zanzibar occupies an enviable position on Kendwa Beach in the north-west of the island, an area particularly prized because its coastline remains suitable for swimming through much of the tidal cycle. The resort spreads 56 bungalows, suites and villas through extensive tropical gardens, creating the feeling of a carefully landscaped village rather than a conventional hotel complex.

Accommodation combines contemporary design with African craftsmanship, local artworks and generous outdoor living spaces. For the highest level of privacy, the villas are the obvious choice. Zuri’s spectacular three-bedroom Ocean-Front Luxury Villa offers around 500 square metres of living space, its own private beach, infinity pool, Jacuzzi, three en-suite bedrooms, kitchen, living and dining areas and even a dedicated entertainment room. Two-bedroom oceanfront and garden villas provide alternatives for smaller families and groups.

The wider resort combines a beautiful beach setting with restaurants, bars, wellness, water sports, gardens and activities. Zuri is also particularly celebrated for its landscaping, including its spice garden, and for architecture that embraces indoor-outdoor island living.

What sets Zuri apart is its balance. It delivers the facilities and energy of a sophisticated resort while still offering genuinely high-end private villa accommodation. For families or groups wanting one of Zanzibar’s most complete luxury experiences, the three-bedroom villa in particular represents one of the strongest accommodation options on the island.
