Autumn 2020

22 Jan20409 Total Relaxation at Top Tanzanian Luxury Spa Escaping from the world for a few hours’ worth of spa experiences is exactly what some people want and need, especially with the busyness of our modern lives taking its toll on so many people. However, sometimes, there needs to be even more relaxation. For discerning individuals, there is a truly luxurious spa experience awaiting them in an intimate boutique setting on the other side of the world. Join us as we explore 2020's Leading Luxury Spa Experience – Tanzania, the Zalu Spa at the Essque Zalu Zanzibar resort. Bucking the trend of resorts fighting to blend in with their surrounding local environments, Essque Zalu Zanzibar is a big and bold injection of luxury and fresh air into the Zanzibar archipelago. Guests are invited to breath deep the fresh air from the Indian Ocean, and completely unwind in what is surely one of the most luxurious places on Earth. Essque Zalu is a deeply intimate and personal boutique destination that is nestled in a natural cove that forms the North East coast of Zanzibar. With the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean to the north, and the lush green forest of mainland Zanzibar enveloping the remainder of the resort, Essque Zalu combines modern, sophisticated, and contemporary luxury with a real sense of beauty and wonder at the nature that surrounds it. Luxury abounds throughout the resort, where guests are invited to totally disconnect from the outside world and simply relax. Essque Zalu is not only home to one of the world’s leading luxury spa experiences, but also the highest makuti thatched roof, two spacious restaurants, three well-stocked bars, and a sprawling lagoon-style pool for guests to simply float in and let their troubles melt away beneath the African sun. However, the crowning jewel in all of this luxury is undoubtedly the Zalu Spa, where guests can elevate their wellbeing to levels that they could have only dreamed of from home. This relatively new holistic spa and place of wellbeing at Essque Zalu has been perfectly realised by Healing Earth, an international award- winning brand that specializes in transformative spa, beauty, and wellbeing solutions, and pure premium lifestyle products. Upon arrival, guests step into a world of wellbeing that has everything from traditional African pamper rituals and uniquely memorable sensory experiences, to results-driven beauty treatments, comprehensive packages, and so much more. Whether it is enjoying a luxurious Maasai ritual, treating themselves to the ultimate rejuvenating ritual, surrendering to the masterful hands of the onsite masseuse, or repairing and nourishing sun-damaged skin, Zalu Spa has everything the guest could ever need to truly relax. In a bid to make things even more relaxing and luxurious for the guests, Zalu Spa also offers a Poolside Wellness option, where the spa can be brought to them. Each of the poolside therapies has been carefully designed and chosen with the healing and soothing effects of the Indian Ocean breeze in mind. For instant muscular pain relief and soothing work, guests can enjoy the traditional Indian Head Massage or the Back, Neck, and Shoulder Massage for full effect. Bespoke Body Yoga Massages can be tailored to focus on areas of low energy and stiffness throughout the body, and will increase flexibility by releasing deep and superficial tensions. Perhaps guests want to fully immerse themselves into a new culture and experience life far from the madding crown. The Maasai Ritual is perfect for this. Ceremonies and rituals amongst the Maasai are a very essential part of their culture and lifestyle, and Zalu Spa aims to take guests on a journey of renewal that is deeply immersed in the traditional sights and sounds of the Maasai culture in Zanzibar. A truly unique spa experience, there is nothing else like this in the world, and is something that can be savoured by the guests for years to come afterwards. Relaxing in the modern world can be a hard thing to do, but with the help of the Indian Ocean and some truly stellar work from the onsite spa team at Essque Zalu Zanzibar, it does not need to be as hard as it is. Simply melt into the hands of trusted professionals, and enjoy the sounds of the ocean whilst feeling those troubles wash away like the rising and falling of the tide in this absolute haven of luxury and tranquillity.
