About This Beach

Zanzibar isn’t just a place — it’s a feeling. The whisper of palm leaves in the morning breeze. The scent of clove and sea salt in the air. The unhurried rhythm of coastal villages. This retreat is designed for people who are ready to pause, breathe, and reconnect with what truly matters.

Over 6 slow, nourishing days, you’ll practice sunrise yoga with ocean views, explore healing traditions rooted in local culture, move through ancient forests, journal by the tide, and let your body soften under the hands of Zanzibar healers.

Whether you’re recovering from burnout, starting a new chapter, or just needing stillness, this is a space to feel held, free, and deeply alive again. This isn’t about escape. It’s about coming home to yourself.
