Z Hotel
Set on the powder-soft sands of Nungwi, The Z Hotel blends London-inspired design with laid-back island energy. With all-day swimmable waters, a legendary rooftop bar, and a social, stylish vibe, it’s the ideal place to unwind, celebrate, and toast the end of an East African adventure—preferably at sunset, drink in hand.
London Chic on the Edge of the Indian Ocean
The Z Hotel is Zanzibar’s original boutique icon, bringing a "London-inspired" design aesthetic to the powdery white sands of Nungwi. By blending Philippe Starck furniture and contemporary lines with traditional Zanzibari features, the hotel creates a bright, airy atmosphere that feels distinctly 21st-century.[6] Set in a tropical garden with steps leading directly to the temperate turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, it is a destination designed for the traveler who wants the "away-from-it-all" island vibe without sacrificing modern sophistication.
The Nungwi location is a geographic gift; unlike much of the island, the water here is deep enough for all-day swimming, regardless of the tide. The Z's social heart is its infinity pool and the world-renowned "Rooftops" bar—consistently ranked among the best in Africa—where the sunset views are nothing short of cinematic. From world-class diving on the Mnemba Atoll to evening beach bonfires, The Z Hotel provides a vibrant, stylish, and unforgettable conclusion to your East African odyssey.
