Our Opinion of LUX* Marijani
LUX* Marijani is found along Zanzibar's tranquil northeast coast on Pwani Mchangani beach, a stretch known for its relaxed pace and beautiful shoreline. The architecture draws from Omani and coastal Swahili traditions, with whitewashed walls draped in bougainvillea and locally made terrazzo tiles. The result is a resort that feels connected to the island rather than dropped onto it.
The suites are set in tropical gardens beside the beach, each with a balcony or terrace offering views of the beach or gardens. The main restaurant, known simply as The Beach, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with live cooking stations and a menu inspired by Zanzibari produce. There is open-air deck seating, al fresco terrace tables, and an elegant indoor dining room, plus a dedicated children's corner for families. The Bar serves classic and creative cocktails using herbs from the resort's own garden, all with views over the lagoon.
The resort's philosophy of 'Life Extraordinary' translates into genuine effort across dining, wellness and activities, with thoughtful touches throughout. Families are particularly well catered for, with engaging options for younger travellers.
Best for couples and families who want a stylish, design-led resort with good food and a strong sense of place. The northeast coast location means a quieter beach experience away from the busier stretches. Evening dress code calls for 'island chic', with trousers for gentlemen, which adds a pleasant sense of occasion to dinner.
