LUX* Marijani

LUX* Marijani is a luxurious beachfront retreat on Zanzibar’s tranquil northeast coast, set along the iconic Pwani Mchangani beach. The resort’s architecture draws from Zanzibar’s storied past, blending Omani influences with a coastal Swahili style that reflects the island’s unique mix of African and Arabic heritage.

Guests are invited to immerse themselves in “Life Extraordinary,” experiencing the best of Zanzibar through creative dining, wellness opportunities, and a range of distinctive activities. Culinary offerings celebrate the island’s bounty, served with inventive presentation to delight all senses. Families are warmly welcomed, with a variety of engaging options tailored for young travellers.

Whether seeking relaxation by the ocean, memorable adventures, or a deep connection to the island’s culture, guests will find the resort an exceptional destination. LUX* Marijani captures the spirit of Zanzibar—a place that has long drawn travellers from around the world—and offers a modern, luxurious expression of its charm.

Accommodation

LUX* Marijani’s suites are set in tropical gardens beside the beach; whitewashed walls adorned with bougainvillea reflect Arabic heritage, while locally made terrazzo tiles add a coastal Swahili touch. Each suite offers a balcony or terrace with views of the beach or gardens.

Dining

The Beach

The resort’s main restaurant set by the pool and ocean, where guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The menu features fresh, contemporary dishes inspired by Zanzibari produce, with live cooking stations, a wide variety of options, and a special corner for children. Diners can choose from al fresco terrace seating, the open-air deck, or the elegant indoor dining room.

The Bar

Located next to The Beach, The Bar serves classic and creative cocktails or mocktails enhanced with herbs from the resort’s own garden, all enjoyed with views over the shimmering lagoon. A relaxed dress code requires cover-ups over swimwear during the day, and “island chic” in the evening, with trousers for gentlemen.
