Tamu Tamu

Zanzibar

10 Rooms

From $60 per person/night

A wellness retreat that actually feels like you.

Tamu means sweet in Swahili. It is the perfect word for this place. Tamu Tamu is a 10-room wellness retreat in the fishing village of Pwani Mchangani, on Zanzibar’s northeast coast. The village is quiet, the beach is 30 seconds away, and the hotel itself is a lush, tropical garden filled with mature plants, birdsong, and the kind of stillness that makes you breathe differently. This is a place for people who care about how they feel. The food is built on a vegetarian foundation — fresh, seasonal, and genuinely nourishing — with the flexibility to layer on keto, high-protein, or whatever your body is asking for. The rooftop yoga deck has warm wooden floors and open sky. The outdoor gym has proper weights. The pools are cool and quiet. The spa treatments are personalised. Tamu Tamu is not a spa hotel and not a yoga retreat brochure. It is warm, human, and Zanzibari — with everything you need to stay connected to your practice while you are on holiday.
