Unbeatable honeymoon at the Baraza Resort
The resort is spectacular! We went for part of our honeymoon and we couldn't have chosen better. The quality and treatment were exceptional and we left wanting to return! In addition, the gastronomic offer is very varied and adapts to all palates. 10/10

Paradise on Earth, a wonderful family holiday
If I could give a 6 star review I would. We stayed at Baraza for the midterm break in October and had the most wonderful stay. The resort is absolutely beautiful, as are the 3 other hotels located on this stunning stretch of coastline that together make up the Zanzibar Collection.

An idyllic setting
A heavenly setting, a mix of Arab, African and Indian culture. The decoration is just incredibly beautiful and refined down to the smallest detail. The staff is very friendly and smiling. He meets your desires. Thanks to the young woman from Cuba who welcomed us in French and to Bori. Our suite was superb, decorated and spacious. The catering is very varied and sophisticated. Chef Lucas is very friendly and present in contact with vacationers. The hotel's location on the edge of a beautiful sandy beach makes it an ideal destination.
