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.

    I definitely recommend this place…. – February 2025

    Very nice hotel with 10 cabins with their terrace, the pool is small, much smaller than in the photos but it is perfect to enjoy a few days!

    The staff is very friendly and attentive, during our stay we had a small mishap with the WiFi that did not work one day but they very kindly solved it by giving us a great discount on our restaurant bill. The staff’s concern for their guests is appreciated, always with a smile.

    I definitely recommend this place and would definitely return on my next visit to Zanzibar!

    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.

    “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.

    Unforgettable, exceptional – June 2025

    Absolutely perfect stay at this hotel!

    The rooms are spotless, spotlessly clean, with twice-daily cleaning, which is rare and truly appreciated.

    The breakfast is fantastic: varied, fresh, plentiful… every morning was a real pleasure. The dinner is simply enormous! We have tried every dish on the menu, and everything is delicious, without exception. A true culinary experience.

    The beach is right in front of the hotel, it’s a real privilege. The environment is very calm, ideal for relaxing and fully enjoying the setting.

    But what makes this place truly unique is the incredible kindness of the staff. Each member of the team is attentive, smiling, caring and sincerely warm. The boss can be extremely proud of his team: he absolutely must keep everyone, because they are the ones who give the hotel its special atmosphere.

    We will be back with our eyes closed. Thank you to the whole team for a wonderful stay!
