Baraza Resort and Spa

5* out of 5 stars

Discover a place where African adventure meets Eastern luxury, all wrapped up in a boutique holiday resort experience. With its high-profile accolades (including top awards from Conde Nast. TripAdvisor), 240-metre private beach and traditional family-owned ethos, the five-star Baraza Resort and Spa is the talk of Zanzibar. It’s all-inclusive too, so you can have it all for one price. And the fact that all accommodations are villas – limited to just 30 – means your stay is guaranteed to be luxurious but also intimate, with none of the overcrowding from which larger hotel complexes suffer.

Highlights at Baraza Resort and Spa

Villas (‘beautiful, big and private’) come in one- and two-bedroom configurations, so there are ample options for both couples and families to feel right at home. From casual fare to fine dining and everything in between, there’s a terrific selection of restaurants onsite so you won’t be short of dining variety. If the mood takes you to step up the action on your luxury holiday to Zanzibar, there’s a professional water sports centre with qualified instructors at Baraza Resort and Spa, as well as a dive centre to assist your snorkelling and diving adventures.

Things to do at Baraza Resort and Spa

Baraza Resort and Spa’s private stretch of Bwejuu-Paje beach is the place to be for leisure time and kicking back. Cause a splash with kitesurfing, pedal boats and diving amid the colourful coral reefs. Enjoy a brisk bike ride along the sands or give frisbee tennis a try. You can even learn to speak Swahili at this hotel, and there are cooking and palm-weaving classes too for a fully immersive experience. To balance the active side of your holiday with some classic R&R, why not retreat to the Frangipani Spa for some preening and pampering that will restore your natural glow. Back at your villa, plunge pools and sultan lounge beds indulge private relaxation; me-time never felt so good.
