ZURI ZANZIBAR
One of the highlights at Zuri Zanzibar is its private beach, a 980 foot stretch of soft sand lapped by tranquil turquoise waters, and fringed by nodding palm trees. Guests can unwind and relax beside the hotel’s modern infinity pool with incredible ocean views. The hotel’s Spice Garden is a lush green oasis with ‘private pods’ where guests can unwind with a good book or meditate in a wonderfully natural environment. Here you can also enjoy a cooking class with one of Zuri’s chefs, a fun and interactive way to discover Swahili cuisine. The MAUA Wellness Centre has three massage rooms, a salon and a Jacuzzi deck making it the perfect spot for a bit of pampering and indulgence. Inspired by the natural abundance of Zanzibar and its spices, they have created signature treatments that reflect the powerful natural plants, herbs and oils of the island.
Jafferji Beach Retreat’s Cinnamon Spa offers holistic therapies inspired by the rejuvenating practices of local cultures, philosophies, and techniques. The white powdery coral beach invites and entices you to indulge in relaxing walks, swim in the azure waters, or perhaps go on a bike ride down to the local village. Jafferji's refreshing swimming pool offers a welcome respite during low tide when the ocean retracts and exposes the reef that protects the beach. Private yoga classes are available with magnificent views of Mnemba Island. For complete privacy, guests can enjoy spa treatments in their own rooms.
