The Pool at Essque Zalu Zanzibar

"Those with a penchant for doing little can settle into a lounge chair beside the enormous infinity pool, relax in the spa (treatments incorporate indigenous African herbs and oils), quaff vodka-cranberries in the art gallery, or choose between the three on-site restaurants"

"There’s also a long dock jutting out over the water, and an infinity pool"

"Dining is outstanding, and while there's no permanent sandy beach, there's a vast pool, and the jetty is a real bonus"

"This big, bold, modern resort with 40 suites, eight three- and four-bedroom private villas, two restaurants, a spa and a lake-like pool aims to bring an urban level of luxury comfort to the Zanzibari coast"
