A Spirited Boutique Resort
LUX* Marijani is paradise defined: an iconic sandy beach on the island’s tranquil northeast coast, the brilliant blue waters of the Zanzibar archipelago, an Arab architecture with a coastal Swahili vibe inspired by the Spice Island’s storied past, the most creative dining experiences, wellbeing at every corner, and a curated collection of truly extraordinary experiences. LUX* Marijani is an invitation to celebrate Life Extraordinary in Zanzibar, the spirited island which has, and continues to lure the world’s travellers.
The beach in front of LUX* Marijani, Pwani Mchangani, is paradise defined: powdery white sand, swaying coconut palms, and the blue-green waters of the Zanzibar archipelago. At low tide, a sandbank emerges–the perfect spot for a sun salutation. Rise early to catch a glimpse of the seaweed mamas, ankle-deep in the warm waters, or a traditional dhow sailing past. When the tides rise, the lagoon becomes the dreamiest swimming pool, begging a dip. Soak up the Zanzibari sun, get a head massage in a thatched hut, take a seat at The Beach restaurant for a long, lazy lunch, or do all three. This is beachside living at its best.
Perfect to unwind after an intense Serengeti safari with the Siringit Collection.
Rooms & Suites
What’s better than staying somewhere that was conceived with the sole purpose of giving you a good night’s sleep? The suites, conceived in an Arabic-meets-Swahili design, are set amidst tropical gardens, right by the beach. The whitewashed walls with their arches covered in fuchsia pink bougainvillea, evoke the island’s Arabic influences, while the locally-crafted terrazzo tiles bring in the coastal Swahili vibe. All suites have outdoor terraces or balconies facing the beach or the tropical gardens. At sunrise, the resort is magically lit with the first rays of sun, setting the tone for the day to come.

Think breakfast on a sandbank with your toes in the water and fabulous barbecue dinners on the beach. There’s no better way to discover a destination than through its cuisine.
... and more!
From the moment you step inside LUX* Marijani, you feel the energy: calming, invigorating. Maybe it’s the salty air, the glow of the sun, or the lush tropical gardens. Rise at dawn for an early morning beach jog, swim laps in our pool, plunge into the warm Indian Ocean, or practice yoga on a sandbank. Be sure to keep an eye open for our indigenous forest, the perfect place to get into ‘Forest bathing’. At the boutique-size LUX* ME spa, treat yourself to a custom massage, a facial, or a mani and pedi. Holidays are the perfect time to reset.
