Sharazād is a charming boutique hotel, nestling on an unspoiled stretch of beach, close to Jambiani village on the south east coast of Zanzibar.  Sharazād is named after the legendary queen and the storyteller of One Thousand and One Nights. The name has Persian origins -meaning “she whose land is free”; as well as pretty woman, wise woman, and woman with liberty of mind. 

As an eco-friendly choice all bedrooms and bathrooms at Sharazād Boutique Hotel have ceiling fans rather than air-conditioning systems. Large windows provide cross-ventilation and a cool temperature. Solar panels, LED lights, a desalination plant and waste recycling is implemented throughout to protect the environment and support the fragile ecosystem of the area and the existing vegetation. 

Accommodation ranges from a fully-furnished, 6-bedroom villa with exclusive private plunge pool and private beach garden facing the ocean, to sea view and garden view bungalows as well as a self-catering apartment. Facilities include a beach restaurant & bar and a public swimming pool for the
hotel. The whole area is surrounded by lush tropical vegetation and faces the amazing Indian Ocean.

Here you may enjoy kite surfing, diving, snorkeling and other water sports or simply relax and take a spa treatment.
