Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive, a lavish five-star resort on Zanzibar's northwest coast in Nungwi, delivers opulent all-inclusive indulgence with private beachfront access, earning its acclaim as a member of Leading Hotels of the World.
Luxurious accommodations, from beachfront villas to garden suites, feature air-conditioned elegance, private terraces framing Indian Ocean vistas, and select units with personal pools, hot tubs, and verdant surrounds. The outdoor pool cascades toward the sea, while the private beach invites watersports like kayaking and stand-up paddle surfing from the on-site dive centre. The spa, a tranquil enclave, offers massages and steam baths infused with tropical essences, complemented by a fitness area for gentle rejuvenation. Indoor spaces glow with chandelier-lit sophistication, where live music and entertainment unfold in the evenings.
The all-inclusive culinary scene sparkles with variety. Buffet breakfasts at the main restaurant feature lively show-cooking stations, from fresh omelets to tropical fruit displays. Two theme restaurants tempt with exquisite specialties, one highlighting Mediterranean seafood and the other Asian-inspired fusions like ginger-glazed prawns. The beach bar serves chilled cocktails and snacks by day, while the sunset terrace bar crafts fantastic mixes for golden-hour toasts, alongside appetizers that capture Zanzibar's spice-kissed flavours. Guests can join beach volleyball or guided snorkeling, weaving relaxation with the island's rhythmic coastal energy.
Perched 55 km from Stone Town's historic labyrinth, Riu Palace Zanzibar lies a short drive from Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, blending secluded luxury with easy reach of the island's vibrant markets and cultural gems.
