Sharazad Boutique Hotel

Our View

Zanzibar’s popularity is rightly soaring - it’s an Indian Ocean paradise a stone’s throw away from some of Africa’s best safari experiences. But with bigger, impersonal hotel brands popping up around the island, brilliant boutique options that don’t cost the world are more precious than ever - and Sharazad Boutique Hotel offers just this.

Sharazad Boutique Hotel - The Facts

Sharazad is both private and intimate, with two hectares of luscious green enclosing just 14 rooms. Although the gym and pools offer a decent splash of luxury, the ethos here is less about the modcons, and more about a stripped back beach experience offering calm away from the surrounding bustle of the island.

Through the trees lies 200 metres of beachfront access as dhowspass by, and guests can enjoy a colourful cocktail with a view, or sample the hotel’s on-site restaurant.

Room types vary from sea view villas to garden view bungalows and the Sharazad family home, with prices starting at $130 per person per night (£100).

Activities are also brilliant here as the hotel has its own watersports centre offering experiences like paddleboarding, snorkelling and scuba diving, with yoga, spa and gym facilities also on site.

This is not a place to expect mind-blowing luxury - it does not have air conditioning, for instance - but it is an ideal hideout to melt into the relaxed Zanzibar pace of life, with a few luxuries like crystal clear pools and sumptuous cocktails to remind you this is an Indian Ocean holiday.
