Located along one of Zanzibar's most alluring stretches of white sand on the northern shores of the island, Zuri Zanibar opened in 2018 as the island’s first ever Design Hotel. And immaculately designed it is, from the 32-metre-long infinity pool and the 56 stunning bungalows, suites and ocean-fronting villas, to the blissful Maua Wellness Room and the fabulous spice gardens. The food is quite something too, with no less than four restaurants and bars to choose from, all serving a mouth-watering fusion of Arabic, Asian and European flavours. Truly a beach-lover's dream – with a few added extras too!

The rooms at Zuri aren’t merely rooms; every single one is a villa or small bungalow, perfectly positioned for the ultimate privacy. Rumour has it that the grounds could have held more than twice the number, but they stuck to only 56 with plenty of space in between. All are chic and elegant, and the combination of traditional African artwork and plush furniture adds a splash of bohemian flair too. All room types have spacious private terraces (they get progressively larger, from bungalow to villa, which has a private pool), but only the suites and villas have Jacuzzis. Most face west toward the ocean, and the angle of slope is specially-designed slope to ensure the very best sunset views. Wow.
