THE NOBU VIEW

The stay

An adults-only Nungwi stay with infinity pools, a broad dining choice and 24-hour all-inclusive service. Junior suites offer garden or ocean outlooks, while selected Elite Club rooms add a private pool. Best for couples and friends who enjoy an active, sociable beachfront resort with choice.

Riu Palace Swahili is an adults-only base beside Nungwi Beach, with the easy rhythm of a 24-hour all-inclusive stay. Three infinity pools look towards the coast, and a staircase leads down to the sand. Days can be as simple as moving between a lounger and the water, with the spa and gym providing a change of pace.

The room choice is refreshingly clear: junior suites with garden, partial sea or sea views, plus Elite Club categories for travellers who want extra services and dedicated spaces.

Dining ranges from the Karibu buffet to Italian cooking at Duomo, Mediterranean dishes at Helios and à-la-carte dinners at Krystal. There is room for sociable evenings too, including access to RIU Party events held at neighbouring Riu Jambo. This is a good fit for couples or adult friends who enjoy a resort with plenty to do, while keeping a child-free setting for their stay.
