Nur Beach Resort is a small and relaxed boutique spot right on the beach in Jambiani, Zanzibar.

The resort has just ten bungalows, each with its own veranda and traditional Zanzibari touches like makuti roofs and furniture made from dhow wood, giving them a natural and authentic feel. From your private baraza (a built-in sofa on the veranda), you can sit back and take in the view of the pool, gardens, or the ocean beyond.

The beach here is truly special — soft white sand, palm trees, and calm turquoise water just a few steps from your room.

There’s also a private beach area with loungers, so you can spend the day between the sea and the shade. If you’d rather relax by the pool, the central swimming pool is surrounded by sunbeds and has a beautiful view out towards the ocean, making it the perfect spot to unwind with a book or a cool drink.

The restaurant and bar have a lovely laid-back atmosphere and serve a mix of fresh seafood, Zanzibari flavours, and international dishes, with vegetarian and vegan options available too. Meals can be enjoyed on the terrace with the sea breeze, or for something extra special, you can arrange a private candle-lit dinner right on the beach. With its peaceful setting, simple comforts, and friendly vibe, Nur Beach Resort is the kind of place where you can switch off completely and soak up the best of Zanzibar’s island life.

No children under the age of 12 can stay at the resort.
