Spa & wellness
Where the day slows to the tide
Two therapists, six group sessions a day, and three places to be treated — the spa tent, the beach deck, or your own. Open seven days, from seven in the morning.
The spa is the sea, and the oil is pressed a village away
There is no marble here and no music through a speaker. What there is: canvas that moves with the wind, coconut oil pressed in Buyuni, sea salt from the flats north of camp, and neem and honey from the trees by the kitchen.
Both therapists trained on this coast, in Bagamoyo, where the technique is long strokes and warm oil rather than anything sharp.
- 2therapists, both trained in Bagamoyo
- 6group sessions every day
- 3places to be treated
- 07–20open, seven days
