Bamboo Zanzibar

The DNA

Bamboo Zanzibar: Eco-Luxury Where Africa Meets Asia
An elevated barefoot retreat where forest, ocean, and architectural serenity converge on Jambiani’s unspoiled coast.


Design that Breathes, Architecture that Whispers

Bamboo Zanzibar is a sanctuary sculpted by nature and culture, balancing East African soul with Asian finesse. Carved into Zanzibar’s southeastern cliffs, this boutique retreat leans into vernacular sustainability—makuti thatch, local stone, and Asian-inspired bamboo structures echo both continent and craft. The result? A refined eco-haven that feels as elemental as it is intentional.


Suites in the Sky, Bungalows in the Green

Cliffside suites are architectural cocoons, wrapped in timber, raw concrete, and textured elegance. Teak furnishings handcrafted by local artisans, floor-to-ceiling glass, and splash pools facing the sea make every room feel like a private postcard. For a jungle-flanked escape, the Rondo Garden Bungalows offer polished minimalism around a forest-surrounded turquoise pool—part hideaway, part design piece.


Nature First, Always

Sustainability isn’t a tagline here—it’s the blueprint. Bamboo Zanzibar draws inspiration from Asian regenerative design and local Swahili craftsmanship, creating a hotel that’s as kind to the earth as it is to the senses. Every texture, finish, and layout whispers respect for place.


DNA Hotels Verdict

Bamboo Zanzibar is slow luxury with soul—a hotel that doesn’t shout, but sings softly in bamboo, stone, and breeze. Equal parts meditative retreat and architectural showpiece, it’s Zanzibar reimagined through a global, grounded lens. Come here to disconnect beautifully.
