Essque Zalu Zanzibar - Tanzania

Essque Zalu Zanzibar is a brand new 5 star boutique resort, that opened its doors for business on 15th June 2011 and located on Zanzibar’s spectacular north-eastern coastline, Nungwi. We are the only resort on the island to be part of the prestigious Preferred Boutique™ (Preferred Hotels Group) assuring our guests of 5 star superior quality and consistent service levels.

Nestled in a natural cove on the north east coast, 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, with just a hint of spice in the warm and fragrant tropical air.

Built in the local style to blend into the landscape, the thatched roofs reflect the modern African feel. Our minimalist décor enhances the sense that luxury is no longer just about material wealth, but has more to do with time and choice.

Already a member of the prestigious Preferred Boutique™ Collection group, the hotel has just 40 suites and 9 three and four-bedroom villas, making it easy for staff to offer a bespoke and personalised service to their guests. And forget arduous hotel check-ins; any formalities will be completed at guests’ leisure in the comfort of their own suite or villa. Each suite has a large en-suite master bedroom, a generous lounge and outside terrace or balcony overlooking the gardens, pool or ocean while each villa also has its own private pool and massage room as well as dining facilities where guests can prepare their own meals, or ‘dial a chef’ to create an in-villa gastronomic masterpiece.

There are three distinctive restaurants which include The Market Kitchen which will serve fresh local organic produce, the A La Carte restaurant with superb fine dining, and the more relaxed Jetty, where guests can dine al fresco on the shoreline of the Indian Ocean and enjoy an Middle Eastern menu theme.

Parents who need a little ‘me-time’ will be reassured to know they will be leaving their offspring in a safe, fun and creative environment. Essque has employed kid’s club experts Petit Vip (www.petitvip.com) to train their own co-ordinators and to manage the kids club in VIP style.

A beautiful Spa has its emphasis on spiritual re-alignment and revitalisation and features the signature Kniepp Walk; an alternating flow of warm and cold water which stimulates the circulation and energy flows of the body to great effect.

In line with our commitment to the local community, Essque is delighted to promote local artistic talent at the in-hotel Art Gallery which will include paintings, sculptures, photographs and glassworks from local, regional and international artists. Zanzibar’s based 'unknowns' and 'established' local artists are to be showcased regularly at this art gallery.
