Essque Zalu

Welcome to Essque Zalu Zanzibar; discover a destination off the coast of Tanzania, steeped in legend and mystery, an evocation of the exotic. Stroll the tumbling streets of Swahili, inhale the lingering fragrance of the spice plantations.

At the Essque Zalu Zanzibar hotel, create your own personal paradise, your own kind of luxury, an experience of a lifetime. Take a deep breath of fresh Indian Ocean air, and relax and unwind at our luxury Zanzibar hotel.

Choose from 40 suites, all with picturesque views over the lush tropical garden or the ocean turquoise blue. Ensconce yourself in luxurious-styled spaces crafted from local materials, adorned with native artwork and housed under a traditional pitched Makuti roof. If you need extra space to spread out, select one of our nine expansive villas. Stretch out in the spacious living room, unwind in the privacy of your own massage area, rustle up a snack in your own kitchen, laze on the terrace overlooking the garden or just chill in the privacy of your very own swimming pool.

Once you are comfortable, make the most of your amenities, pick your favourite drink from your personalised mini-bar, freshen up under a solar-heated shower, or lie back on the king-sized poster colonial-style beds.

Essque Zalu Zanzibar is nestled in a natural cove on the North East coast, overlooking the Indian Ocean. Essque Zalu Zanzibar combines contemporary luxury with a real sense of place. This boutique hotel has the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean to one side and lush green forest to the other, and there is just a hint of spice in the warm and fragrant tropical air.

Satisfy your taste buds with a choice of three distinctive Zanzibar restaurants, a scrumptious café, and three well-stocked bars or dial a mixologist to come right to your suite and shake your very own tailor-made cocktail.

Amble through Stone Town prior tour the famous spice plantations. Explore the local marine life in scuba diving or snorkelling. Try out the watersport activities or visit the marine turtle's sanctuary beside the hotel.
