Essque Zalu Zanzibar, Tanzania

located on the  north east coast of Zanzibar, in its own natural cove, and framed by lush green forest and the turquoise

waters of the Indian Ocean, Essque Zalu Zanzibar with its iconic roof  is the Island’s only luxury five-star offering.  In the

hands of visionary  general manager, Duarte Correia, the Resort offers impeccable but relaxed service, with ‘Personal

Navigators’ on hand to assist with any requests, and a 98 per cent local staff ratio ensures this isn’t an hotel that ‘could

be anywhere.  Its personal service ethos is exemplified by its approach to dinning, where all meals are à la carte and

can be taken anytime, anywhere, similarly there are no rigid check in or check out times.  The Resort provides a mixture

of contemporary villa and suite accommodation crafted from local materials.  All 40 suites are luxuriously styled spaces,

and comprise a master bedroom, lounge and outside terrace or balcony, under a traditional pitched Makuti roof.  The

eight luxury thee and four-bedroom  villas all feature their own private pool, in-room dining, a private massage area,

spacious living room and kitchen, and outdoor spaces, comfortably sleeping six or eight adults. , The Spa, with eight

treatment rooms, is world class with a distinctively local influence. The signature indigenous AFRICOLOGY treatments

use 100% organic and natural ingredients, while its Maasai Ritual is a multi-sensory delight drawing on indigenous therapies.
