Zuri Zanzibar Opens
Zuri Zanzibar, the first Design Hotels™ member in the Tanzanian archipelago, has just opened its doors, welcoming the world to a hospitality experience shaped by this singular destination. Here on the coast of East Africa, some 30 kilometers off the mainland of Tanzania, the semi-autonomous island of Zanzibar is a bounty of natural beauty; lush green flora abounds, as do pristine white sand beaches and clear turquoise waters. A confluence of influences from Africa, Arabia, India, and Europe means a cultural mosaic that sets the scene for enriching adventures. Nestled on 300 meters of prime west-facing Kendwa beach, Zuri Zanzibar's 55 villas and bungalows epitomize modern-meets-traditional African design, with the whole approach guided by environmentally sustainable methods. The high-luxury experience features seven sunset-facing restaurants and bars, a full yoga and wellness center, an infinity pool, a water sports center, and an impressive 1.6-hectare spice garden. www.designhotels.com/zuri-zanzibar
