The Beach
It was the reason why I bought the land many years ago. Unlike most Zanzibar beaches, where one must walk 500m to swim at low tide, our beach, which is settled in a large lagoon, is always perfect. I have travelled the world and stayed in the most exclusive sea-front properties, but I still see Zuri’s beach as one of the best on Earth. It is not just the white sand and the incredible colour of the turquoise Indian Ocean but also the local way of life, which is so cheerful and optimistic. When you see the dhows (the traditional wooden sailing boats) at a distance during the spectacular sunsets, you do not need to practice mindfulness or meditation training to enjoy the present moment and understand the power of now.
The Hotel
It is not made up of rooms, just villas and bungalows. Each separated from the other to attain absolute privacy, and all of them were outfitted with outdoor showers and large terraces. The size of our plot could easily accommodate twice as many houses, but we decided to build only 56 of them. Nestled on a west-facing slope, most of the units enjoy direct sea views. And our ceilings reach for the sky: African-style roofing delivers a breathtaking cathedral-like feeling over your bed and cannot be compared to anything you would find in busy Western cities. On the other hand, being so far from civilization, we did not want to compromise the quality of your connection with the rest of the world, so we have built our dedicated fast internet line to the mainland – the only hotel in Zanzibar to date!
The Garden
It is the icing on the cake. I do not mean the private spice garden covering a quarter of our land – the only one in the area. I suggest that Zuri itself IS the garden. All the villas and bungalows are just part of an enormous tropical park; you can enjoy walking through and exploring. Hundreds of gardeners and landscape designers needed more than two years to select all the trees and flowers you can bask in. The result is an enormous tribute to the pinnacle of Zanzibar and its rich historical legacy.
Today, when more and more things tend to feel and taste the same, it is not an overstatement to say that Zanzibar is different. Located just on the Equator, the colours are more intense, saturated, and vibrant. And, for some reason, the time runs differently as well! In this environment, it is easy to forget our daily routines, rouse our dormant imagination, and perceive life from a new a “le. S” op “doing” “and st “rt “being.” Because, ultimately, – we are human beings, not human doings! And it all began in Africa :-)
Conclusion
Zuri Zanzibar is not just a destination; it’s an experience. From its stunning natural beauty to its rich cultural heritage, this slice of paradise offers something for every traveller. So, pack your bags and get ready to explore Zanzibar like never before.
