Baraza Resort and Spa Zanzibar

Baraza Resort & Spa Zanzibar is a family-owned boutique hotel on a 240-metre stretch of Bwejuu-Paje Beach. With a string of prestigious awards and accolades (coming from Condé Nast Traveller through to TripAdvisor), this five-star all-inclusive property is set to take over the island.

The beach is a playground of activity or relaxation. The on-site Water Club will assist you with anything from kitesurfing to pedal boats and the Dive Centre will get you snorkelling or diving the magnificent coral reefs. Take a bike ride along the beach, try your hand at swimming pool volleyball and frisbee beach tennis, or learn to do anything – from speaking Swahili to cooking or palm-weaving – on the beach. After a busy day, the Frangipani Spa will relax and revitalise you. 

Accommodation consists of 14 one-bedroom villas and 15 two-bedroom villas, as well as a two-bedroom Royal Sultan Villa. These villas are a fusion of Arabic, Swahili and Indian design and boast garden or ocean views from their terraces. Refined luxury and privacy is the order of the day: en-suite bathrooms, living rooms, Sultan Lounge Beds, sun loungers and plunge pools are among the first-rate amenities available.
