Fodor's Expert Review Zuri Zanzibar

Zuri translates to "beautiful" in Swahili and they have taken that term to heart at this lodge. Each of the dining, lounge and living areas seamlessly flow through the expansive private gardens of the hillside down to the palm-fringed beach. Rooms feature Afrocentirc murals, contemporary furniture, and handcrafted beaded glass curtains that hide the outdoor rain shower. An outdoor deck opens up to the forest with a lazy hammock to while away the hours. There's even a bespoke soundtrack played throughout the restaurant and bar areas. Multiple dining options with tasty Afro-Indian cuisine rounds out a truly great escape.
