Beautiful hotel combining traditional design architecture with five-star accommodation. The Ocean Suite was superb, private, and with a sea view. We came for our honeymoon and left on cloud nine, feeing we'd had an extremely personal experience made possible by the staff, each of whom are, professional, willing to help, smiley, and with a great deal of heart! Situated slightly east at the northern tip of the Island, it's not possible to see the sunset directly, however it more than makes up with peace and tranquillity, especially compared to hotels on the nearby busy beachfronts where the sunset can be seen, and which are accessible from the hotel. It has a great infinity pool, much larger than usual resort pools, and sunbathing beds overlooking the blissful turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean uninterrupted by anchored boats. The food is EXCELLENT!! Well worth going half board. We stayed 11 nights, with so much choice avoiding any feeling of repetitiveness. We definitely left much healthier than we arrived! Al carte meals are also available on the romantic pier which were included in our package. We really appreciated getting to know the most senior staff as well who were very open about how they strive to make the experience even better for everyone. For a chilled out, beautiful experience, in a gorgeous hotel, Essque Zalu is very highly recommended!

My stay at Esque Zalu Zanzibar was an embodiment of sophistication and luxury, seamlessly integrated with the African design ethos and breathtaking landscapes. The resort offered an unparalleled sense of privacy within its lush, tranquil grounds, making every moment feel exclusive and serene. From the moment of arrival, the warm welcome with fresh juice set the tone for a stay focused on relaxation and indulgence. The highlight was undoubtedly the poolside massage, a blissful experience with the soothing sound of ocean waves complementing the skilled masseuse's efforts to alleviate all forms of stress and anxiety. The resort's architecture and design celebrated local heritage while offering modern comforts, ensuring every need was catered to within this peaceful haven. Positioned perfectly, Esque Zalu offers both a secluded retreat for relaxation and easy access to explore Zanzibar's rich cultural and natural attractions. This harmonious balance of seclusion and exploration opportunities made my stay truly unforgettable, encapsulating the very essence of a luxurious getaway with a soulful touch.

We stayed in a villa with a stunning sea view and a private pool—an unforgettable experience where you can truly unwind and enjoy nature’s beauty. The villa was clean and well-maintained. Every evening, the friendly staff would come by to close the curtains and prepare the room for the night. Fantastic! The spa is very clean and offers a variety of professional treatments. The full-body scrub and massage were both relaxing and well-executed. The gym is equipped with some Technogym machines, allowing you to do a few exercises during your stay.

There was very little to fault about this place. We had villa/room 16 which had an amazing view of the ocean - at night you could see fire flies on the rocks! The room was lovely and spacious, very clean, huge bed. We got replenished with water, tea/coffee and towels etc every morning and and evening and everything was super clean. We went half board which I recommend because the food is outstanding and there are not too many restaurants around. All the staff were friendly and really tried hard to make our stay special.

If i could give this place 10 stars i would...... The jetty bar is unbelievable, with access for swimming in the sea. I stayed at the seafront suite & being woken up by waves & breathtaking views of the ocean. Themed buffet dinners with variety of food and tasty deserts. We had different entertainment for three nights ( karaoke, dancers, dinner by the pool with beautiful Christmas decorations). Meat on the grill. The pools are beautiful & we had water polo.
