Satisfy your taste buds with a choice of three distinctive restaurants, a scrumptious café, and two well-stocked bars – or dial a mixologist to come right to your suite and shake your very own tailor-made cocktail!
Market Kitchen
The Market Kitchen styled restaurant serves cosmopolitan fare, a gastronomic spread of crisp salads, cured meats, fresh seafood, bread straight from the oven, mouth-watering cheeses and desserts. Create your own culinary journey featuring organic produce and fresh, hand-picked ingredients from local growers.
A La Carte
A ‘must do’ when visiting Zanzibar, the perfect place for an exceptional fine dining experience. Savour Essque Zalu Zanzibar’s innovative ‘Signature Plate’ or tuck into char-grilled prime South African beef steak.
The Jetty
Set al fresco on the shoreline of the Indian Ocean, where you can casually kick back with a refreshing cocktail, share succulent morsels of modern Arabic cuisine, freshly prepared mezze, draw on some shisha and gaze at the sunset. Experience a different setting every day, created exclusively by the elements and mirroring the flow of the ocean – a place to be seen or to relax to the sounds of live music with friends.
1506 Bar and Terrace
An up-market and intimate space for you to enjoy the finer things in life. Browse the premium labels and vintages, select a speciality cigar, taste the tapas or just pop by for a post-dinner nightcap.
In Market (Villas only)
Customise your mini-bar and fill up on that favourite lychee martini. If you’re a bit of a chef yourself, ‘In Market’ lets you order and delivers your grocery list to your villa. Or if you prefer the pros to fire up the flames, then ‘Dial a Chef’ will create the masterpiece of your fancy in the privacy of your own villa kitchen.

Essque Zalu Zanzibar’s spa provides a peaceful, non-invasive and warm environment that makes it ideal for individuals seeking privacy, peace, and quiet.

Wellness has become a way of life and the ‘Zanzibar Spa’ prides itself on being able to create an unforgettable experience – and not just another day at a spa. Spa staff pay attention to all aspects of personal well-being in a holistic manner and believe in one-on-one therapeutic procedures, interaction, and client care. The carefully chosen unique signature treatments, such as Spafari and VinAqua, cater to both men and women and will take you on an expedition of pure indulgence! The exotic Spafari range must be experienced to get the full effect of the true spirit of Africa, and the VinAqua range utilizes some of the best and widest range of hydrotherapy facilities in the country. Essque Zalu Zanzibar’s Spa has also perfected a treatment of European origin aptly termed the ‘sinfully scented hot wax wave massage’. This technique is like no other and therapists pride themselves on being one of the first in the country to implement it.
