Luxury Hotel Accommodation
Feel free to tell the world 'Please do not disturb'; snuggle deep into the comfort of your bed. Recharge.
Essque Zalu Zanzibar lets you choose from 40 individual bedrooms, 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, try one of our 9 expansive villas. Stretch out in the spacious living room, 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.
Facilities
Dining at Essque Zalu ZanzibarFeeling a bit peckish... or celebrating a significant anniversary? Wine connoisseur... or fancy some fun concocting cocktails?
Satisfy your taste buds with a choice of three distinctive restaurants, a scrumptious café, two well-stocked bars or dial a mixologist to come right to your suite and shake your very own tailor-made cocktail.
Gourmet Deli: our Gourmet Deli styled restaurant serving cosmopolitan fare, a gastronomic spread of crisp salads, cured meats, fresh seafood, bread straight from the oven, mouth-watering cheeses and desserts. Create your own culinary journey featuring organic produce and fresh, hand-picked ingredients from local growers.
A La Carte: a 'must do' when visiting Zanzibar, the perfect place for an exceptional fine-dining experience. Savour our innovative 'Signature Plate' or tuck into char-grilled prime South African beef steak.
The Jetty: set al fresco on the shoreline of the Indian Ocean, where you can casually kick back with a refreshing cocktail, share succulent morsels of modern Arabic cuisine, freshly prepared mezze, draw on some shisha and gaze at the sunset. Experience a different setting every day, created exclusively by the elements and mirroring the flow of the ocean, a place to be seen or to relax to the sounds of live music with friends.
The Wine Lounge and Terrace; an up-market and intimate space for you to enjoy the finer things in life. Browse our premium labels and vintages, select a speciality cigar, taste our tapas or just pop by for a post-dinner nightcap.
In: your very own in-room dining offers a sleepless menu where you can order any dish from any of our dining outlets at any time of the day. Customise your mini-bar and fill up on that favourite lychee martini. If you're a bit of a chef yourself, 'In Market' lets you order and delivers your grocery list to your villa. Or if you prefer the pros to fire up the flames, then 'Dial a Chef' will create the masterpiece of your fancy in the privacy of your own villa kitchen. Bon Appetit!
