Zuri Zanzibar

Location & Environment: The property is located on Kendwa Beach, offering spectacular sunsets, pristine white sand, and lush tropical gardens that create a tranquil, luxurious atmosphere. The beach is private with security to minimize vendor interruptions.

We visited Zuri for 5 nights at the end of our South Africa / Zanzibar honeymoon. It’s paradise in terms of the design, accommodation (specifically the evening breeze bed system) vegetation and stunning private beach. It was the perfect way to relax after safari. The food was very good considering it is generally a buffet format; especially breakfast with so much fresh variety. The hotel amenities were great and never felt too busy - we enjoyed the 32m length pool, daily yoga, the beach beds and hammocks and a snorkelling experience via the Wimbi sports centre (although 5/6 hours are spent on a slow sail boat - not suitable for those who experience sea sickness!) While our experience was overall 5/5, we had a frustrating experience with the spa. We booked a honeymoon massage but received a much shorter couples massage and were not easily able to resolve the misunderstanding with the spa staff or hotel management from an experience or cost perspective (considering the spa charges London prices, this was highly disappointing).

Our Zuri experience was at the end of an exhausting safari, and couldn't have been more perfect. The Bungalows, Food, Ambience and Service were all better than any 5***** hotel I have visited previously. I honestly cannot fault anything. The privacy of the beach with the Maasai tribesman patrolling it pushed it into a 6****** category for us.
