LUX Marijani, Zanzibar. Marijani isn’t the most private choice because it has about 90 rooms. But for the price, it’s a great way to experience Zanzibar that you wouldn’t be able to get at some of our favorite boutique hotels. The beach is on the northeast side of Zanzibar Island. It is wide, sandy, and beautiful, which helps you forget about all the other rooms nearby.

The Truth About LUX Marijani in Zanzibar

Marijani’s buildings are pure white and are part of a beach resort complex with a seaside Swahili feel.

The seven types of rooms here offer different levels of luxury, and the prices go up as the level of luxury does. There is, however, a room here that is about $75 per person per night during the off-season. That means it’s a great deal!

There are deluxe rooms on the ground and first floors. Each has a private terrace or patio, a king-sized bed, or two twin beds, which are great for kids. Even better, there are eight family rooms that are all connected to each other. These rooms can fit up to four adults and two children, but there are other choices for groups of different sizes.

The best rooms are the seaside deluxe rooms, and the 16 executive rooms are the next level up. These are perfect for couples who want a view and a little more space to relax alone. One of them has a bathtub and a shower that are separate from the tub. There is also a deck where you can enjoy the view of the Indian Ocean.

The top choice is one of the two grand lux rooms, which are right on the beach and face the turquoise lagoon. They have a kitchen, a big living room, and a bathroom with a tub that stands alone. The outdoor showers are coral-colored. But the most luxurious thing about this place is its own private pool on the beach and deep outdoor lounge.

You can enjoy all the extras that a bigger hotel can, which would make the price per person go up if it were in a smaller business.
If you like high-end things, like yoga on the beach, clubs, and spa treatments, this is the place to go. You can also enjoy a lot of water sports for free, such as paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling. There is an extra charge for sailing, snorkeling, fishing trips, and diving.

This is a great choice for families because it has its own outdoor play area, a big pool with a separate place for kids, and babysitting services. Along with the main restaurant and bar, there is also a Levantine diner, a coffee shop, and an ice cream shop.
