Nungwi Beach Resort

Essque Zalu Zanzibar bucks the trend of competing resorts — big, bold and utterly luxurious. Located on Nungwi Beach, this 5-star resort features the highest Makuti thatched roof on the island and combines contemporary and Swahili design. All 40 spacious suites are housed under traditional Makuti roofs with ocean or garden views from private balconies, air conditioning, minibars, premium bedding, 40-inch LCD TVs, rainfall showers, bathrobes and designer toiletries. Three restaurants include The Jetty for modern Arabic cuisine, Market Kitchen for culinary cuisine and an à la carte restaurant. Three bars — 1506 Bar & Terrace, The Jetty Bar and Baobab Bar — ensure guests are never without a sunset cocktail. The full-service Zalu Spa offers couples treatment rooms, vichy shower, sauna and steam room. Kids club, fitness centre, art gallery and free beach shuttle to Kendwa complete this exceptional resort.
