ZURI ZANZIBAR

Zuri unveils Zanzibar’s breathtaking beauty through the lens of a village-like sanctuary, where palm-shaded hammocks sway gently beside a secluded private beach. Designed by the visionary Ferdinand Leffler, the landscape mirrors the essence of a traditional African village, with thatched roofs and verdant greenery cocooning each Jestico + Whiles-crafted bungalow and villa. Here, natural elements reign supreme, from the rustic wooden beams to the curated furnishings that epitomize an African-chic aesthetic. Picture-perfect private terraces beckon with inviting hammocks and sun-drenched loungers, inviting guests to unwind amidst the island’s splendour.

At the heart of Zuri’s design philosophy lies a harmonious blend of modernity and tradition, curated by Prague’s Jestico + Whiles studio. With an eco-conscious ethos, the property seamlessly integrates natural and locally sourced materials, celebrating Zanzibar’s rich heritage of craftsmanship. From market-sourced artefacts to elegantly polished wood furniture and retro-inspired decor, each space exudes a timeless allure that pays homage to the island’s cultural tapestry.

Beyond its aesthetic allure, Zuri Zanzibar stands as a beacon of sustainability and social responsibility. Embracing ecological principles, the hotel spearheads initiatives in water management, environmental conservation, and community empowerment through education programs and grassroots initiatives. It’s a testament to Zuri’s commitment to enhancing the lives of locals and preserving Zanzibar’s natural wonders for generations to come.

Culinary exploration takes centre stage at Zuri, where a fusion of European, African, Arabic, and Indian flavours converge to create a symphony of taste sensations. Under the skilful guidance of Zuri’s chef, traditional dishes receive a modern twist, inviting guests on a gastronomic journey filled with unexpected delights. It’s a culinary adventure that mirrors Zuri’s ethos—bold, innovative, and always inspired by the vibrant spirit of Zanzibar.
