It’s a hotel that is modern, stylish and definitely a great option for those looking for a forward thinking hotel catering for every urban luxury. It might not be to everyone’s taste, but if modern architecture using traditional methods and a luxurious and attentive service are up your street – Essque is for you!
Essque Zalu Zanzibar - The Facts
Essque Zalu is located very close to Nungwi village on
Zanzibar’s northern most beaches. It’s a structure that you just can’t miss as it towers above any other in close proximity.
As you walk into Essque you are immediately stunned at the sheer vastness of the place. It’s modern, edgy and impressive. There’s a bar, 3 different restaurants and a large gift shop… The main communal area is vast with an enormous swimming pool taking up the majority of this space. A huge jetty stretches out into the Indian Ocean and is great to swim and jump off, when the tide is up. There is even a restaurant on the end that specialises in oriental cuisine.
The suites are extremely well furnished and very polished. The villas are even more luxurious and spacious. Some of them have three separate bedrooms, a roof terrace, a kitchen, private swimming pool and a spa therapy room! They are the perfect venue for a family looking for a luxurious stay where everyone can enjoy themselves. They even have a kids club.
Essque Zalu serves some of the best food on Zanzibar. All three restaurants have a different twist and all three have some fantastic menus.
It’s the perfect place to relax in peace and luxury on your
Tanzania holiday or
honeymoon.
