Baraza Resort & Spa (Bwejuu): review, villas, private pool and alternatives
Baraza Resort & Spa is a small luxury hotel of 30 villas on Bwejuu-Paje beach on the east coast. The one- or two-bedroom villas are spread through a garden, each with a private terrace and private plunge pool. According to resellers they have air conditioning, a dressing room, minibar and a bathroom with freestanding bath, in a decor mixing Swahili, Arabic and Indian styles (arches, antiques, brass lanterns). One listing mentions a butler service. Resellers give no reliable rate grid: ask for the price for your date. Like the whole east coast, the beach is subject to the tide.
Highlights
The pool
The hotel's pool and garden: where you spend time when the sea has gone out.
Bwejuu at low tide
Bare sand and the sea far off: swimming depends on tide times.
The villas
Private terrace and pool, living room and bedroom; the large villa has a master bedroom with a freestanding bath and a second en-suite bedroom.
The decor
Swahili arches, handmade furniture, brass lanterns: the hotel's identity.
Practical info
Tips
- Who it suits: couples, honeymooners and travellers who want privacy and a private pool rather than a big resort. Not for a small budget or for swimming at any hour (see tides and swimming). Bigger and more family-oriented in the same area: Breezes Beach Club. For the beach: Bwejuu; for a honeymoon: Zanzibar honeymoon; to compare areas: where to stay in Zanzibar. The information comes from agencies and resellers, not the hotel's own site; have villas, meals and prices confirmed.
How to get there
Bwejuu is on the east coast; book a transfer: from the airport to your hotel.
