There’s a whole lot of wow at Essque; set in a natural cove in the northeast of the island, the turquoise Indian Ocean to one side, lush green forest to the other and just a hint of spice in the tropical air.

Forty sumptuous suites and nine fab villas combine contemporary living with minimalist style and splashes of Swahili artwork, all resulting in a supreme cocktail of cool. Put your feet up or step out and explore; immerse yourself in Zanzibar's colonial heritage or your private pool; dive into the eclectic array of personalised experiences for all ages, or a restorative AFRICOLOGY spa treatment. ​Satisfy your tastebuds with a choice of three distinctive restaurants, or dial a mixologist to come right to your suite and shake your very own tailor-made cocktail. Tune in or zone out – your wish is Essque's command.
