Maru Maru Hotel  

In the heart of Stone Town, Zanzibar — a short walk from the Old Fort, Forodhani Gardens, Hamamni Persian Baths and the Zanzibar Night Market. This beach hotel sits steps from Shangani Beach and a maze of historic alleys and carved Zanzibari doors.

Once a marble‑floored townhouse, Maru Maru was restored into a 51‑room hotel that blends classic Zanzibar character with modern comforts. Rooms range from King, Queen and Twin to Family, VIP and semi‑suites, and feature minibars, TVs, air conditioning and mosquito nets. The rooftop terrace delivers 360° views of Stone Town and the Indian Ocean.

Rooftop terrace with panoramic ocean views, a swimming pool, outdoor pool area and a fitness center. Spa services include massages, body treatments and facials. On‑site extras: outdoor badminton court, tour desk and area shuttle (surcharge), babysitting (surcharge), free Wi‑Fi and parking.

Conference center with roughly 500 sq ft of event space, plus three meeting rooms and a board room. Additional services include limo/town car service, roundtrip airport/ferry shuttles (surcharge) and express check‑out.

Rooftop Terrace Restaurant and Terrace Lounge serve Continental, Chinese, Indian and Swahili dishes with ocean views and live music. Buffet breakfast is available daily (7:00–10:00, fee) and limited room service is offered.
