Baraza Resort is a luxury hotel located near the village of Bwejuu on the south-east coat of Zanzibar.

Baraza is arguably the top luxury hotel on Zanzibar. When you take into account it’s size, location, facilities, ownership by the Zanzibar Collection and the general levels of food and service it offers, we rate it as the best option for anyone seeking a traditional 5 star experience on Zanzibar. Other equivalent alternatives are either too big or have poorer locations, but mostly they are also not as well run. The villas at Baraza are spacious and quite frankly opulent, with ocean-front and ocean-view villas enjoying use of an exclusive outdoor raised beach area with sun loungers etc. The family villas are excellent though they are set back from the beach and the second bedroom is designed for kids, not full grown adults. The running of the hotel is very good, with friendly staff, sophisticated service, superb food and a wide range of facilities, including an excellent spa. Plus the beach is gorgeous!
