Where Culture and Coastline Come Together

LUX* Marijani offers families the opportunity to slow down and experience Zanzibar at a gentler pace. Days can begin with a stroll along the powder-soft beach, followed by waterside adventures, beach games or creative activities at PLAY Kids Club. The spacious playground and giant chess board provide plenty of opportunities for shared fun, while aqua polo, beach volleyball and football keep older children active and engaged.

Accommodation is designed with comfort and togetherness in mind, from elegant beachfront rooms to spacious suites with private pools and direct access to the beach. Dining is equally family-friendly, with interactive cooking stations, fresh local flavours and dedicated options for younger guests. Combined with Swahili language lessons, live music and traditional performances, LUX* Marijani creates a holiday that is as enriching as it is relaxing.
