Variety is the spice of life, but if you’ve ever wondered where the spice comes from, Zuri Zanzibar is the Indian Ocean hotel for you. This series of standalone bungalows, suites and villas is strung across tropical gardens leading down to the shore via an infinity pool, spice garden and outdoor gym. There’s a super spa, three restaurants and a whole lot of hanging lamps to admire. The archipelago is a ferry or flight from the mainland, but a world of its own thanks to its strategic Spice Island heritage – Persian traders, Omani sultans and Portuguese rule have all left their mark.
