Welcome to

Nur Beach Hotel

Welcome to Nur Beach, a relaxed 10-Bungalow Jambiani beach front resort, intimately placed amid the velvety white sand of the south-eastern coast of Zanzibar Island. Palm trees dance in the wind, turquoise waves caress the shoreline, and our outstretched beach area invites you to inhale the sunny side of life or simply regroup in the coolness of the shade.

Nur’s location makes it easy to explore both the Jambiani village and beach. Within the main building, you’ll find our spacious launch restaurant and bar. This is your go-to location to fuel yourself with fresh food and to satisfy your thirst with a range of flavourful hydration. There is no wrong choice. No matter which of the ten bungalows you take, you’ll give yourself a restorative sleep while a gorgeous pool and glorious ocean await you at any hour of the day.

    “Superb – December 2024

    We spent 6 nights at this hotel, we were sad to leave. Very friendly staff, laughing, smiling, very good atmosphere. The beach just at the foot of the hotel is heavenly, sandy, transparent water. A very large pool decorates the landscape at the foot of the restaurant. Very clean rooms, the staff cleans the room every morning and puts the mosquito nets and anti-mosquito products on at night.

    Better than advertised. You won’t be disappointed. Staff are amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. A must go. – November 2024

    Amazing place with fantastic staff. You won’t be disappointed. Fantastic staff. Organised trips with Mariam at the hotel. As 2 female travellers she made sure we were safe and taxis waited for us to be picked up and dropped back off. The beach was amazing with white sand and blue sea. Not much sea weed and fab snorkelling. Thank you to everyone there.

    “We stayed 5 nights, the food in the evening was varied. – October 2024

    Anyone who finds out beforehand that Jambiani is a quiet place and that there is ebb and flow on the eastern side of Zanzibar will not be disappointed. We needed exactly this peace and quiet after our safari and the hotel was great! We stayed 5 nights, the food in the evening was varied. The staff was always friendly. The toilet and shower are in the room, so you have to come to terms with that. The beach is incredibly beautiful at certain times during low tide! Not even the beach in Nungwi/Kendwa could top that!

    Peaceful, relaxing, restorative … well maintained clean property.’’ – December 2024

    Rustic, charming, beautiful decor, attention to cleanliness.. polite, kind management and staff always on hand but not in your way.. loft above dining/lounge has the most incredible views and a lovely place to relax. Pool is spotless. A really well maintained property. Quiet and relaxing. If you want loud music and activities this is not the place for you. The quietness is almost unnerving initially until you start appreciating the sounds of nature and the ocean. Please walk out at low tide to the reef. It is like a mini ocean in itself you can swim in. Room is small but not cramped and comfortable. Such a special property. I was sad to leave. Feels a little like stepping back in time.

    “Cosy & Clean” – January 2025

    Conveniently located near the beach with a stunning pool. The upper-floor restaurant offers incredible views while dining. The meals are decent and satisfying. The staff was exceptional, always attentive and offering random snacks throughout the day. They also arrange excursions for you.
