Nur Beach Hotel

Nur Beach Hotel sits directly on the sand in Jambiani, on Zanzibar's quieter southeast coast, roughly a 45 minute drive from Zanzibar's Abeid Amani Karume International Airport. Ten bungalows are arranged around a shared swimming pool with the beach a few steps beyond, giving the property an intimate, low key feel that suits couples and travellers looking to slow down after time on safari. Every room is a Pool Bungalow: a self-contained, thatched unit with a king bed, mosquito net, ceiling fan and air conditioning, plus a private veranda furnished with traditional Zanzibari baraza sofas and either a pool or partial ocean view. Bathrooms are ensuite, and each bungalow sleeps a maximum of two guests. The open sided restaurant and bar serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with an international menu that runs to Indian and regional Swahili dishes, vegetarian and vegan options on request, and private beach dinners arranged for special occasions. A spa next door at CASA Beach Hotel offers massages and wellness treatments, and Jambiani's kite centre is a short walk along the beach for guests keen to try kitesurfing on the reef flats. Nur Beach Hotel is part of the Our Zanzibar Hotel Group, whose reservations team also arranges airport transfers, half board plans and island excursions, so all enquiries and bookings for the property route through the same trusted contact.
