Property Overview

Riu Palace Zanzibar All Inclusive is a five-star resort set within tropical gardens beside Nungwi Beach on Zanzibar’s north-west coast. Its low-rise buildings and earth-toned interiors draw on the surrounding landscape, while pathways connect the rooms with pools, restaurants and oceanfront areas. The recently renovated property combines a 24-hour all-inclusive service with spa facilities, fitness activities and evening entertainment. Couples and families can both use the resort, as it is no longer operated exclusively for adults.

How far is the nearest beach?

Nungwi Beach lies directly in front of the resort, allowing guests to reach the white sand without leaving the property. The shoreline is connected to the gardens, swimming pools and beach bar, keeping the Indian Ocean central to the stay.

Rooms

Accommodation includes junior suites, larger ocean-facing suites, swim-up rooms and private villas. Views vary between the inner courtyard, tropical grounds and Indian Ocean, while every category is designed with a balcony or terrace connecting the room to its surroundings. Selected suites provide direct access to a shared pool, and the villas add a separate private pool for greater seclusion. The range gives couples and families options based on outlook, living space and preferred level of privacy.

Food & Drink

Five dining venues cover buffet meals, fusion recipes, Mediterranean cooking, grilled dishes and a dedicated steakhouse experience. Promenade is the main restaurant, with live cooking and themed evenings, while Krystal and Ia provide à la carte alternatives. Pepe’s Food serves casual lunches and snacks near the pool, and the Beef Steak House adds another dinner option. Bars around the beach, pool and main resort areas provide drinks throughout the 24-hour all-inclusive stay.

Experiences & Activities

The resort provides a daily programme of daytime activities alongside evening shows and live music. RIUFit sessions and a fully equipped gym allow guests to maintain an active routine, while the pools and beachfront support slower days around the water. The northern location also creates a useful base for organised snorkelling, diving and wider island excursions arranged separately. Travelers can therefore combine an easy resort stay with selected opportunities to explore Zanzibar’s marine environment, history and traditions.

SPA & Wellness

The spa provides a dedicated setting for treatments and relaxation away from the main pools and entertainment areas. Its services can be combined with gym sessions and the guided RIUFit programme for travelers who want both exercise and restorative time during their stay. Treatment details should be selected directly from the current spa menu rather than assumed in advance. The surrounding gardens, beachfront and pools offer additional spaces for quieter time before or after a spa appointment.
