had a truly exceptional experience at the spa, thanks to the wonderful therapist Husna. From the moment the session began, her professionalism, skill, and calming presence created a deeply relaxing atmosphere. She was attentive to my needs and ensured the treatment was both therapeutic and rejuvenating. I left feeling completely refreshed and rebalanced. Highly recommended – ask for Husna if you want a top-notch spa experience!

The experience was simply amazing. The staff are the most welcoming and courteous and professional. Maureen in customer service, was so professional, friendly, courteous and would mobilise the team to ensure our stay was comfortable. Mateo in pool and recreation, Amina and Edita in the Spa, Angelone and team at the jetty Bar. Wonderful team and the manager Lindy was as well very welcoming. Would definitely recommend Zalu for a relaxing, entertaining, happy holiday. The children loved it as well.

Essque Zalu was the perfect solo escape. The staff made me feel so welcome from the moment I arrived. The views are absolutely stunning, especially at sunset by the infinity pool. My room was spacious, spotless, and so peaceful. Loved dining at the jetty restaurant — fresh seafood with the ocean breeze is unbeatable. I felt safe, relaxed, and completely pampered. Can’t wait to come back!
