The accommodation at the Baraza is in 30 individual villas some with one bedroom and others with two bedrooms each with views of the Indian Ocean or magnificent gardens. Each villa has a spacious lounge, exquisitely designed bedroom, a luxury bathroom, dressing room and a private terrace in which is set a plunge pool.

The villas and the main areas of Baraza are designed in traditional Zanzibari style with beautiful arches, high ceilings, period hand carved furniture and exotic wall coverings.

Baraza is small enough to have an intimate atmosphere yet large enough to have a good range of facilities with a large pool, a spa where you can enjoy a wide range of treatments and a range of fine dining options both in the main dining and the pool side restaurant.

For the more active Baraza has a floodlit tennis court and a fully equipped water-sport centre providing opportunities to enjoy snorkelling and diving on the beautiful reefs with their abundant coral fish a short distance off shore as well as a wide range of other water-sport activities including kayaking, kite surfing, wind surfing and paddle boats. As part of the spa there is a fitness centre, a library full of fascinating books about this historic island and a small boutique.
