Essque Zalu was actually a surprise favorite on Zanzibar. The accommodations are lovely little villas so lots of privacy for couples and families. This property essentially has no beach, except at low tide when you can go for a nice walk in the sand. The pool, common areas and views of the Indian Ocean are excellent so this is simply a trade off. This property has a great price for a 5-star hotel if you are happy to wait for low tide for that beach walk.
