Lux* Marijani Zanzibar
A landmark of coastal elegance, Lux* Marijani Zanzibar graces the white sands of Pwani Mchangani. The moment you step through its doors, the stunning blend of modern design and local craftsmanship captivates your senses. The lobby, adorned with intricate woodwork and artful textiles, breathes an air of welcome sophistication; handcrafted features invite tourists to embrace both premium comfort and Zanzibari heritage. Glimmering chandeliers cast warm light on polished marble flooring, setting the scene for a distinguished stay. Ascend to any of the spacious suites or venture to the outdoor oasis-a shimmering pool that beckons you to lounge instead of seek action. Here, the illustrious beachfront serves as not just a picturesque backdrop, but as part of daily life, inviting the rhythm of the tides into your stay. Dining at the resort is equally sublime, with culinary offerings that range from local spices to fresh seafood; savoring a cocktail at sunset becomes a ritual amidst breathtaking views from the terrace.
Explore the Local Area
The allure of Pwani Mchangani extends well beyond the property's pristine coastline. Just 3 km away, the coral-fringed Matemwe Beach tempts with its crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life. Don't miss the historic St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Cathedral, a mere 6 km down the road, where you can appreciate the bustling atmosphere of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Abeid Amani Karume International Airport is conveniently located 48 km away, and complimentary airport shuttle services alleviate travel concerns. As you explore the area, immerse yourself in the surrounding culture, vibrant markets, and breathtaking landscapes that make Zanzibar not merely a destination, but a deeper experience of life.
