As winter in the Northern Hemisphere draws near, the cold-weary set their sights on southern escapes. Enter Zuri Zanzibar, an idyllic retreat located on a 300-meter-long stretch of private beach where sunsets and the sea-foam green of the Indian Ocean reign. Here, on the colorful island of Zanzibar, 55 thatched roof bungalows and villas are the height of refined and uncomplicated luxury.
Surrounded by a bounty of indigenous plants and foliage, the villas are an expression of African ethos and have been informed by an environmentally and socially sensitive approach to building, design, and operations. The high-luxury experience features seven sunset-facing restaurants and bars, an infinity pool, a watersports center, a vast spice garden, and now with the completion of a full spa and wellness program, the property is fully launched. www.designhotels.com/zuri-zanzibar
