Essque Zalu aims to create the ultimate holiday experience and will fine tune every aspect of your stay to fit your personal preferences. This is also one of the very best locations to be in if you like to walk out of the hotel and explore the local area, with the turtle conservation project, the lighthouse, and the village of Nungwi with markets, bars and restaurants just a few minutes’ walk away.

Community & Conservation
The spirit of genuine and personal experience through ‘Navigators’ is unique to Essque Zalu and the on-going development of the team keeps them poised to give the best service in front of and behind the scenes to enhance guests’ experiences. The focus on social responsibility is evident in the traditional methods used in construction and the post build aesthetics throughout. Local growers fill the kitchens of the three restaurants and café to bring the flavours and spices of Zanzibar to your plate.
Solar Panels, Sewerage treatment plant and a salt chlorinated pool all reduce the environmental impact of Essque Zalu along with natural ventilation for cooling which reduces energy consumption and solar heat loads.
The Details
With no traditional reception at the resort, a specially selected and trained ‘Navigator’ greets you as you enter and guides you to your Suite or Villa, passing the cascading water wall and helping to unravel the pathways and gardens for you to experience all Zalu has to offer. Space and light are in abundance and well thought out quirky understated design features continue to impress as you get to know the Zalu landscape. Sun bathing Islands jut out into the swimming pool and individually operated massage jets are dotted around the pool side, whist the Jacuzzi flows into the main pool, bubbling into life as and when guests wish.
Guests are friends and navigators hosts at this fresh and exciting new Nungwi property. The changing definition of luxury for a generation of conscientious travellers manifests itself here in a distinctive break for the body, soul and mind.
