Tulia Zanzibar Unique Beach Resort

Tulia Zanzibar Unique Beach Resort is a beautifully presented boutique beach retreat on Zanzibar’s east coast, offering a level of intimacy and privacy that will appeal to travellers seeking something a little more exclusive. With just 16 rooms, the resort is deliberately small, creating a calm, personalised atmosphere rather than a busy resort feel.

What immediately stands out is the attention to detail in the design and facilities. The accommodation options cater well to couples, families and small groups, from garden bungalows to cliff-top seafront villas with dramatic ocean views. The inclusion of private pool options adds an extra layer of indulgence, while the generous layouts suggest a strong focus on comfort and space.

Dining at Tulia appears to be a real highlight, with an emphasis on fresh, locally inspired cuisine and a high standard of presentation. Facilities are impressive for a boutique property, including two swimming pools — notably featuring the only water slides on the island, which adds a fun and distinctive touch, particularly for families.

While we have not yet visited Tulia ourselves, it presents as a stylish, well-managed beach resort with strong guest feedback and thoughtful inclusions such as complimentary airport transfers. It’s very much on our radar, and we’re keen to experience it first-hand in the near future.

For clients looking for a refined, boutique alternative to larger Zanzibar resorts — with privacy, quality dining and a relaxed beachfront setting — Tulia Zanzibar Unique Beach Resort is certainly one to consider.
