Baraza Resort and Spa Zanzibar

I stayed at this luxurious, exclusive beachfront hotel in January 2023. The hotel is very well maintained. The rooms are large and comfortable. The all-inclusive system is very good with a variety of foods. The service is very friendly and generous. The beach is beautiful but not the most beautiful. They offer day use at other hotels with more beautiful beaches.

Baraza -embraced by palmtreas the beach the sea with the magic tides and unvisibly waves coming and going, the hot sun and the wind sizzling. As many other beach hotels around the world.... But, when you step in through the gate it opens up a different world. it like a fairy-tale from the proud history of Zanzibar, an eco from the past but with the modern twist and international winds, as a meetingpoint for different cultures. An unique place resort destination. Luxury laid back cosmopolitan local Zanzibari the Far East... everyting in a exotic cocktail. The meet and greet an arrival -with warm natural hospitality makes you feel welcome from the first step. The area is wide and every building every detail including the green areas flowers... has a thought behind, including the tasteful great architechure Sultan style. Not to forget the fantastic service always with a smile, from the cleaners, garden workers, servants... to the Managers -the fantastic personal attention to every guest, respectful and everyone always there for every demand and wish. I have had the great pleasure of being a guest here a few times during the years, as a solo traveller and togehter with friends/family. this time I was here as a solo- stayed in the beach side "smaller villas", and as everytime the feeling of "coming home" but at the same time far away from my back home. Here you live in an luxury level of top class standard, service and style. the guest from all over the world the staff who always doing the best and makes you feel "just as a princess", but with a relaxing smile. Perfect for families, big or small, or couples or friends or as solo as me this time. The villas are all in different size, but all with top class standard. And not forget the food and drinks. top class! all inclusive in its best version. the food in a wide selection always fresch new baked bread to the fruit vegetables catch of local seafood etc etc. And different areas for lunch and dining, special events and local touch with international twist. You can just relax in the sun or being active -snorkling, diving, reef walk beach walk tennis Yoga Gym Spa tours ... No "must to do!" except enjoy and relax in a very special luxury but relaxed resort, a true paradise, East Africa Zanzibar -magic. "sorry" if I sound tooo positive, but its my version of Paradise - Hakuna Matata.

We spent four nights at Baraza and had the most relaxing and heavenly holiday. The environment of the hotel is simply stunning, with palm trees, frangipani and bougainvillea covering the property, whilst the Indian Ocean and gorgeous white beach runs alongside the hotel. We spent our time eating all of the delicious food on offer in the restaurants, swimming in the beautiful pool, wandering about the hotel environs and swimming in the ocean. It really must be one of the most beautiful places on earth. The best thing about the hotel are the staff, who were friendly, professional and just wanted us to have an unforgettable experience. From the gardeners to the cleaners, to the chefs and managers, everyone was there to make our stay excellent. We would love to go back and will never forget this amazing break in this truly extraordinary hotel.

Midweek escape to the breathtaking Baraza Hotel in Zanzibar – a true jewel of our continent. This stunning haven combines African elegance with world-class comfort. The whispers of the ocean, the warmth of Zanzibari hospitality, and the serenity of the spa create a perfect retreat. Here, the rhythm of Africa meets the calm of paradise. #DiscoverZanzibar #AfricanLuxury #BarazaHotel

Wow!! Amazing resort and spa. Loved our own villa with ocean front views. It was very large and comfortable. I could live there. It was just Beautiful. 5 stars or above. We needed so R&R from a week long safari and this was the place to do. I can’t recommend enough.
