How do we rate a property?
We rate all our hotels, resorts, and lodges using our own bespoke grading system. We'll only invite a property into our collection once it's been assessed by one of our specialists. If it doesn't impress us, it doesn't make the cut.
From the quality of the food served in the restaurant to the amenities offered in each bedroom, we carefully rate each property to make sure it meets our high expectations.

About This Hotel
Zuri Zanzibar brings modern design to the edge of the Indian Ocean—where the days move slowly, the spices infuse the air, and the sea is never far.
Set on Kendwa’s west-facing beach, arguably the finest stretch on Unguja, Zuri Zanzibar is a rare find: a resort that feels both deeply rooted and quietly refined. Just 50km from Stone Town and its international airport, the property offers a seamless arrival into a world where time slows and colors intensify. Unlike many beaches on the island, Kendwa’s shoreline is unaffected by tides, meaning the ocean is always swimmable. Sunsets here are not just beautiful—they’re immersive.
The resort’s 55 bungalows, suites, and villas are tucked into a lush tropical garden, each designed to blur the line between indoor and outdoor living. Expect a thoughtful mix of modern design and local craftsmanship: carved wood, woven textures, and curated African art. Bungalows offer outdoor showers and generous terraces. Suites come with private Jacuzzis and large decks. For those seeking seclusion, the beachfront villas provide private stretches of sand and uninterrupted ocean views.
Upendo Restaurant serves international cuisine with an African and Indian Ocean twist, while Maisha offers a more casual, beachside dining experience. Bahari Grill & Bar specializes in fresh seafood, and the Dhow Bar provides a relaxed spot for cocktails. For something more intimate, guests can enjoy private beach dinners under the stars.
MAUA Wellness by Healing Earth offers treatments that draw from local traditions, focusing on holistic rejuvenation. Guests can participate in yoga sessions on a dedicated deck, meditate in the spice garden or engage in “wild fitness” activities that utilize the natural environment. An outdoor gym is also available for those seeking a more conventional workout.
Zuri Zanzibar received EarthCheck’s Sustainable Design Gold Certification, reflecting its commitment to environmental and community initiatives. The resort operates its own water treatment facilities, uses energy-efficient cooling systems and sources amenities from local artisans. The on-site spice garden not only provides ingredients for the kitchen but also serves as a space for guests to learn about Zanzibar’s rich botanical heritage.
At Zuri Zanzibar the days unfold with the sun, meals are seasoned with stories and every moment invites you to slow down and savor the present.
