Honest review
If you are after Zanzibar without children around, here is the answer: an adults-only format, the beaches of Nungwi and All Inclusive 24/7, where food and drinks are not tied to restaurant opening hours.
The resort is new and big: over 500 rooms, light and elegant, in a natural palette. Category advice: for extended privileges and a dedicated restaurant, book Elite Club by RIU — the premium zone within the resort.
There are seven restaurants: the Mediterranean Helios, an Italian, the gourmet Krystal and other themed venues, plus bars from lounge format to poolside.
For the daytime rhythm — three infinity pools; for recovery — a health and relaxation centre with a steam room, a gym, pools and treatments.
An honest caveat: five hundred rooms is scale, not intimacy; seclusion here comes from zoning and Elite privileges, not from the size of the grounds.
Who it is for: adult couples and anyone travelling as a pair or a small group — for a calm, unhurried pace with no children's timetable.
