About

Inspired by Zanzibar’s rich cultural heritage and natural beauty, LUX* Marijani fuses traditional design details with clean, modern aesthetics. The resort’s whitewashed arches, carved wooden accents, and breezy spaces reflect the island’s Swahili roots, while thoughtful amenities and intuitive service provide a polished yet relaxed atmosphere. It’s an ideal choice for couples, families, or solo travellers seeking serenity without sacrificing sophistication.

Rooms

The rooms and suites are light-filled and elegantly appointed, with a palette of white and neutral tones that enhance the sense of space and tranquillity. Each features a private terrace or balcony, king-sized beds with luxurious linens, and contemporary bathrooms with walk-in rain showers. Select suites offer direct beach access or sweeping sea views, creating a seamless connection to the surrounding nature.

Dining

Dining at LUX* Marijani is a celebration of island flavours and global culinary influences. The resort’s main restaurant serves fresh seafood, Swahili specialities, and international dishes made with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Light bites, tropical cocktails, and barista-quality coffee are available throughout the day at the beach bar and café, while curated dining experiences—like private beach dinners—add a romantic, personalised touch.

Activity

Guests can unwind by the resort’s palm-fringed pool or explore the vibrant marine life with snorkelling and diving trips arranged through the resort. Cultural excursions into Stone Town or spice farm visits provide a taste of local heritage, while wellness seekers can enjoy spa treatments, yoga sessions, or leisurely beach walks. The resort’s blend of discovery and relaxation invites guests to experience Zanzibar at their own pace.
