THE NOBU VIEW

The stay

A Stone Town townhouse hotel with carved-wood beds, a rooftop pool and terrace dining above the old lanes. Maru Maru is a base for walking, shopping and cultural visits.

Maru Maru puts a rooftop pool and an open-air dining terrace above the lanes of Stone Town. Set on Gizenga Street in a restored townhouse, it is a practical choice for travellers who want to explore the historic centre on foot and return to a hotel with more than a bedroom at the end of the day. The rooftop outlook takes in the town and Indian Ocean, while its restaurant and bar bring an evening social life to the property.

Rooms draw on Zanzibar’s carved-wood tradition, with four-poster beds, mosquito nets and modern essentials such as air conditioning and tea-making facilities. King, Queen, Twin and Family categories are advertised. The Family Room has a balcony in the restored Classic wing; the precise bed arrangement should be settled before a family booking.

A fitness centre, elevators and meeting facilities broaden the appeal for longer or work-related stays. Nobu would favour Maru Maru for guests who enjoy an active town setting and rooftop time between excursions.
