Chuini Zanzibar Beach Lodge, a Newmark property, reopened on August 1, following upgrades.
Chuini is on the west coast and a 20-minute drive from Abeid Amani Karume International Airport and Stone Town.
Newmark partnered with Interior Designer, Francois du Plessis, on the make-over.
Each of the thatched bungalows was fully renovated with contemporary beach-style décor, a rustic chic design coupled with natural light.
The lodge now features a wooden deck with two pools, one of which is a rim-flow pool.
The three restaurants were also refurbished.
Additional equipment includes paddleboards, canoes, a pool table, table tennis, lilos and beach bats, and a boat for private excursions. The boat departs every day directly from the front of the lodge and is complimentary for resident guests on a first-come, first-served basis (to be booked in advance).
Yoga sessions are also available on the beach on request.
Neil Markovitz, Newmark’s Managing Director says: “Chuini is a special addition to the Newmark portfolio. The landscapes combined with the natural aged ruins create a unique ambience. This is the distinct spirit of Zanzibar we wanted to capture and replicate at Chuini.”
