LUX* Marijani is paradise defined: an iconic sandy beach on the island’s tranquil northeast coast, the brilliant blue waters of the Zanzibar archipelago, an Arab architecture with a coastal Swahili vibe inspired by the Spice Islands’ storied past, the most creative dining experiences, wellbeing at every corner, and a curated collection of truly extraordinary experiences. LUX* Marijani is an invitation to celebrate Life Extraordinary in Zanzibar, the spirited islands which have and continue to lure the world’s travellers. Read More
Rooms
ROOMS & SUITESWhat’s better than staying somewhere that was conceived with the sole purpose of giving you a good night’s sleep? The suites, conceived in an Arabic-meets-Swahili design, are set amidst tropical gardens, right by the beach. The whitewashed walls with their arches covered in fuchsia pink bougainvillea evoke the island’s Arabic influences, while the locally-crafted terrazzo tiles bring in the coastal Swahili vibe. All suites have outdoor terraces or balconies facing the beach or the tropical gardens. At sunrise, the resort is magically lit with the first rays of sun, setting the tone for the day to come.

Dining
CREATIVE, ECLECTIC DININGTriple-cooked octopus in Zanzibar spiced coconut milk, raw, vegan green papaya salad, Mezze platters, cocktails designed around spices… Our chefs get creative in the kitchen. From the Zanzibar Kahwa hot brew at Café LUX* to a lunch at The Beach, our varied and creative dining experiences cater to all palates. Coming soon is ICI, the hotel's very own house brand of ice-cream and Samāa, our exquisite Levantine restaurant on the beach under a starry sky. Zanzibar’s bounty is plentiful, whether it’s the tropical fruit, the local honey, or the freshly-caught seafood. We bring it all to your plate in the most creative and delicious manner possible. Think breakfast on a sandbank with your toes in the water and fabulous barbecue dinners on the beach. There’s no better way to discover a destination than through its cuisine. Read More
Recreation
From the moment you step inside LUX* Marijani, you feel the energy: calming, invigorating. Maybe it’s the salty air, the glow of the sun, or the lush tropical gardens. Rise at dawn for an early morning beach jog, swim laps in the pool, plunge into the warm Indian Ocean, or practice yoga on a sandbank. Be sure to keep an eye open for the indigenous forest, the perfect place to get into ‘Forest bathing’. At the boutique-size LUX* ME spa, treat yourself to a custom massage, a facial, or a mani and pedi. Holidays are the perfect time to reset. Read More
