Zuri Zanzibar is a design-led beach resort on Kendwa's sunset-facing coast, a member of the Design Hotels group. Accommodation ranges from standalone garden- or ocean-view bungalows to multi-bedroom private villas with their own beach frontage and plunge or infinity pools, and the resort positions itself as suited to both families (with a free kids' club) and couples.

What sets it apart

One of Kendwa's few resorts built specifically around design-hotel styling rather than a conventional beach-resort template, while still running a full kids' club.

Who it suits

Families and design-conscious couples wanting Kendwa's sunset beach.

What it costs

An online travel agency shows nightly rates observed roughly between $378 and $2,131 depending on room category and season, averaging around $783/night on that aggregator — dynamic OTA pricing, not an official rack rate, and we do not treat the lower figure as a guaranteed starting price.

About the photographs

The pictures on this page are stock photographs chosen to suggest the kind of setting this property is in. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify exactly where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had stayed there. For pictures of the actual rooms, see the property's own site.
