Tui to open 2 extra properties in Zanzibar

TUI's growing hotel cluster in Zanzibar will be further strengthened in the coming months.

Opening on December 15th, 2025, JAZ Amaluna is an adults-only resort located along the serene shores of Uroa Beach, Zanzibar. This 5-star resort features 211 rooms, including suites and swim-up rooms, each offering a serene retreat tailored for discerning adults and couples. The resort also boasts two swimming pools, a variety of dining options with both international and local flavors, and a dedicated wellness center.

In early 2026, Riu Palace Swahili will follow, which is also designed as an adults-only hotel. The resort with 24-hour all-inclusive service provides more than 500 comfortable rooms, three infinity pools, seven restaurants, eight bars, a varied entertainment programme and the premium Elite Club service.

Including the two upcoming hotel openings in Zanzibar, the portfolio of TUI Hotels & Resorts in Africa will grow to 106 hotels with over 34,000 rooms in nine countries - further strengthening the group’s presence in Africa, which continues to emerge as a trending continent for holidaymakers.
