Baraza is an oasis of relaxation on the east coast of Zanzibar, offering beautiful and spacious villas just a stone's throw from the beach. The dining options are outstanding, and the service feels incredibly personal. While the beachfront is simply stunning and rarely crowded, it's best enjoyed for relaxation rather than exploring, as the area is quite quiet.

My stay at Baraza was a blend of luxury and unique experiences. The architecture is stunning, and I loved the personal touches, like having my room filled with frangipani flowers. However, I did encounter some service issues upon arrival that were quite frustrating. While the facilities were beautiful, I think there's room for improvement in the overall service experience.
