About Uzuri Boutique Hotel Zanzibar

A secluded boutique villa set directly on the sands of Jambiani Beach.

Uzuri Boutique Hotel Zanzibar, also known as Uzurivilla – A Dream on the Beach, is a small beachfront property located along the quieter stretch of Jambiani on Zanzibar’s south-east coast. Designed as an intimate coastal retreat, the hotel focuses on space, privacy, and a strong connection to the ocean rather than resort scale or crowds. Its low-rise layout blends naturally into the beach setting, with open terraces and shaded walkways facing the Indian Ocean.

Accommodation is limited, giving the property a personalised and residential feel. Suites open onto private verandas or terraces, many with uninterrupted sea views. An outdoor swimming pool sits just behind the beach, while the on-site restaurant and bar provide relaxed, flexible dining throughout the day. Staff assistance is readily available for excursions, transfers, and tailored experiences.

Uzuri Boutique Hotel Zanzibar suits travellers seeking quiet surroundings, direct beach access, and a slower pace shaped by tides and daylight rather than schedules.
