Zanzibar’s reef-fringed shores and the Tunisian Sahara’s sweeping dunes shape two very different visions of escape, yet both invite a slower pace, deeper connection and genuine comfort. This is travel designed for those who value time to recalibrate, space to breathe and a service style that adapts to individual rhythms without fuss or formality.
Across these destinations, luxury is defined by attentive details rather than ceremony: seamless arrivals, dining when hunger strikes, and wellbeing that speaks to mind and body alike. The focus is on ease, flexibility and meaningful experiences, from guided snorkelling over coral gardens to sunrise yoga among desert palms, while environmental care and local partnerships remain central to the experience.
Luxury, sustainability and meaningful travel
The Mora presents a collection of leisure hotel experiences shaped around personal pace and understated indulgence. Its philosophy — that guests set the script — translates to anticipatory service, small memorable touches and freedom from rigid timetables. For travellers seeking elegant simplicity with a conscience, sustainable amenities and community engagement are part of the stay rather than an afterthought.
Explore the brand’s vision and destinations at The Mora, where travellers will find an overview of its approach along with practical details on flexible check-in, personalised in-room comforts and holistic wellbeing.
Indian Ocean experiences in Zanzibar
Set on Muyuni Beach in north-eastern Zanzibar, this coastal resort offers panoramic Indian Ocean views, powder-white sand and calm water near the Mnemba Island reef. Suites are designed for contemporary comfort with terraces or balconies, and selected categories incorporate private pools or jacuzzis, enabling quiet hours between swims, snorkelling and beach walks.
For those prioritising location, all-inclusive dining and family-friendly options, The Mora Zanzibar combines a serene beachfront setting with thoughtful facilities. The resort comprises 250 suites furnished with king beds, digital TV, air conditioning and a complimentary, personalised minibar, alongside practical touches such as a sofa bed, work desk, kettle and drinking water.
Dining choice throughout the day
Guests can follow appetite rather than schedules. An all-day dining proposition means breakfast, lunch or dinner are available when needed, with at least one restaurant open 24 hours. The choice spans:
- Jikan, offering Asian fusion, live teppanyaki, sushi and sashimi.
- Jua Grill, centred on flame-grilled meats and vegetables.
- Muyuni Beach Club, relaxed seaside plates from fresh seafood to stone‑hot pizza.
- Horizon, buffet and à la carte with international dishes; vegetarian, vegan, gluten‑free and halal options on request.
- Bars including Mora Tempori, Eclipse Pool Bar, Garden Pool Bar and a Gelato Shop.
The Temporí Bar Concept brings modern mixology with low‑ and no‑alcohol choices, aligning indulgence with balance.
Wellness, sport and the sea
A comprehensive wellness centre supports goals from detox to relaxation, complemented by personalised spa treatments and holistic workshops. Fitness runs 24 hours in an air‑conditioned Technogym space, with an instructor available during the day. Group sessions include yoga, pilates and meditation, while the ocean sets the stage for snorkelling, with equipment provided, and access to Mnemba Island’s renowned reef.
Those seeking variety will find six pools, from an infinity edge to a garden pool and child‑friendly shallows, plus a spa pool. Additional paid activities include personal training, private coaching and supervised motorised watersports such as PADI diving, jetski and windsurfing.
Sahara desert magic in Tozeur
On the edge of the Chott el Djerid salt lake and close to ancient Berber settlements, this North African retreat reframes desert travel as quiet comfort, cultural curiosity and night skies of uncommon clarity. Architecture and interiors draw on regional aesthetics, with wide views across dunes and oases that encourage slower days and unhurried evenings.
Travellers comparing options in Tunisia will find The Mora Sahara Tozeur offers 93 accommodations, from Deluxe Garden View Suites to Royal Villas with private pools, each with generous bathtubs and vistas towards the desert or salt flats. The setting supports active exploration and reflective downtime in equal measure.
Desert‑inspired dining and atmospheric evenings
Food and drink settings span relaxed to celebratory. SARAB Restaurant serves daily breakfast and international plates with Tunisian specialities for lunch and dinner, Le Asiatique introduces intimate Asian cuisine with a contemporary twist, and Berber Night Barbecue hosts open‑air feasts beneath the stars. Social spaces extend to a lobby bar and an Oasis Pool Bar, while private experiences such as a romantic sunset dinner or floating breakfast in a villa pool are available.
Spa rituals and open‑air pursuits
The Pause Spa provides hammam rituals and therapeutic massages in four single rooms plus one double, alongside gender‑separated wellness areas with steam, saunas and jacuzzis, open daily. Beyond the spa, a modern gym, multi‑purpose tennis and basketball court, ping‑pong and guided yoga at sunrise or sunset support balanced days. Outdoor programmes include camel rides at dawn, guided desert hikes, cycling through palm oases, visits to abandoned Berber villages and excursions to film locations, including those used for Star Wars.
Wellbeing, dining and flexible service
Across both destinations, service is structured around flexibility and personal choice. Digital pre‑arrival formalities, in‑room check‑in for higher categories and a personalised welcome reduce friction on arrival. The brand’s ethos that “service is not a list of rules” appears in small anticipatory gestures and in the freedom to dine when convenient rather than at fixed sittings.
In‑room comfort focuses on useful, sustainable amenities: chargers and adapters on hand, snorkelling gear where relevant, and responsible bathroom products. A personalised minibar is stocked with favourite drinks on arrival and replenished daily, reinforcing the sense of tailored hospitality. Meanwhile, an express laundry service returning garments within 12 hours and a bag‑based pricing option simplify longer stays.
Families, children and multi‑generational travel
Family travel is considered with flexible daytime childcare and qualified babysitting, enabling adults to explore while children are engaged. A dedicated kids’ menu in specialist outlets prioritises nutrition and presentation, while at Zanzibar the supervised Outliners Club provides spaces for creative play for ages three to twelve.
