Baraza Resort & Spa

Fusing Arabic, Swahili and Indian design elements, the Baraza Resort and Spa is one of Zanzibar’s most exclusive resorts. It lies along a stretch of sand that has been voted as one of the top island beaches in the world and provides a base for exploring everything this East African archipelago has to offer. 

Baraza features 30 one and two-bedroom villas that will opulently accommodate couples and families. All boast private terraces and plunge pools where you can refresh throughout the day, not to mention sultan’s lounge beds for mid-afternoon siestas. Gourmet cuisine is served at the Livingstone Terrace and Sebule while cocktails are crafted at the Dhahabu Bar & Lounge. 

Not only is Baraza Resort and Spa home to one of Zanzibar’s top scuba diving operators but a water sports centre where you can learn to kite surf and sail. The on-site spa is staffed by highly experienced masseuses from India, Bali and Thailand while local masters will teach you the art of playing Bao. A stay at Baraza is not just about relaxation but immersing yourself in Swahili culture in all its forms.
