Excellent food, stylish accommodation and wonderful hospitality, all in an amazing property
Location: Chuini Zanzibar Beach Lodge sits on the west coast of Zanzibar, around 12km north of Stone Town and a 20-minute drive from the airport. Surrounded by palm trees and overlooking the Indian Ocean, it offers a calm and secluded setting with easy access to the island’s cultural highlights.
Rooms: The lodge has 12 spacious bungalows and one elegant villa, scattered across 1.5 hectares for added privacy. Each bungalow features a sea-facing terrace, air conditioning, ceiling fans and contemporary furnishings, with Premium options including a personal butler. The two-bedroom villa adds a first-floor studio with sweeping views across the bay to Stone Town.
Amenities: Dining here is a treat. The main Chuini Restaurant serves fresh, flavourful local and international cuisine, while Blue Bay Grill and Ocean Breeze offer relaxed options by the sea. For something special, Swahili Night transforms the nearby ruins into a magical outdoor dining setting. There’s also a spa, yoga platform and a stargazing terrace to help you unwind.
Activities: Relax or explore – the choice is yours. Guests can snorkel from the lodge’s private boat, Ile Ile, enjoy a beach picnic on a private sandbank, or take a short trip to one of Zanzibar’s famous spice farms nearby. Yoga classes and private sessions are available on request.
Sustainability: Chuini supports local sourcing and employment, helping contribute to the island’s economy while offering guests a more authentic Zanzibari experience. Its peaceful footprint, natural setting and cultural connections make it a thoughtful choice for a laidback, low-impact stay.
