The Baraza property from the Zanzibar Collection, takes you to a different world. It's like being in the Arabian Nights along the Indian Ocean. The decor is so unique, elegant and subtle, yet gives you a feeling of being the Royalty. The Villas are so spacious, and the ambience is warm & luxurious. Each villa has its own private plunge...

This review is going to start right from my flight to Zanzibar as the hospitality of the people began. The pilot took us as close as possible to the Mount Kilimanjaro, and what a breathtaking view it was! The transfer driver was so informative all the way to the resort. Soon as I reached Baraza, they had lemon fresh towels... More

We had a short holdiay at Baraza and truly this is a magnificent resort. The rooms are beautiful, clean and really well attended. Staff is helpful and friendly. We travelled in April which is supposed to be the rainy season but we were lucky enough to have sunshine. No mosquitos (strange). The only drawback is the diving center which caters... More

The staff here could not do more to take care of your every need as soon as you step out of your car. The place itself is breathtaking and set right on a white sand beach. We had a two bedroom villa for ourselves and son, aged 8 who visited the kids club twice in our eight day stay and... More

Arrived at Baraza after an eight day safari in Tanzania needing R&R and I was not disappointed. The accommodations are all villas featuring luxury interiors, large bathrooms, spacious terrace and private plunge pool. The beach has a natural reef so no need to worry about waves. Lots of choices at the breakfast and lunch buffet. Food is good. Staff friendly.... More

Be advised that Baraza asks East African residents to pay in advance *in full* and will not confirm a booking until said payment in full is received (and, they have a draconian cancellation policy). And theres an egregious 5% surcharge for credit catd payments. Puts you off. The place itself is delightful and the staff very attentive. What lets it... More

The moment you get out of your car you can see paradise down a long corridor of Arabian arches. It looks like a series of keyholes stretching to the sea and it actually is; keyholes to the tranquility and beauty you find when you step through. We stayed in a two-bedroom villa and couldn't have been happier. Our villa was... More
