Unlike most Zanzibar beaches where one must walk 500m to swim at low tide, their beach, settled in the large lagoon, is always perfect. The hotel is not made up of rooms; just villas, and bungalows. Each separated from one another to attain absolute privacy, and all of them outfitted with outdoor showers and large terraces.

A big plus to staying at Zuri is that the hotel could easily accommodate twice as many houses, but they decided to build only 56 of them, most of the units enjoy direct sea-views. A mixture of Bungalows, suites and villas, all hidden in a large tropical garden within a short walk of the azure waters of the Indian Ocean.

A private spice garden covers a quarter of the land - the only one of its kind in the area. Zuri itself is the garden. All the villas and bungalows are just part of an enormous tropical park which you can enjoy by walking through and investigating. Hundreds of gardeners and landscape designers needed more than two years to select all the trees and flowers, in which you can bask. The result is an enormous tribute to the pinnacle of Zanzibar and its rich historical legacy
