Local community
UWEZO Society grew out of Zanzibar Community Yoga back in 2019 and they warmly welcome residents of Zanzibar to join the classes (at a limited number to maintain a peaceful setting and a safe teaching environment).
Retreat location
The Z Hotel invites you to join us for this yoga holiday at the Z Hotel situated in the village of Nungwi on the Northern tip of Zanzibar, Tanzania.
Z Hotel is set next to the crystal blue waters of the Indian Ocean, Zanzibar, with its tropical climate, white powder beaches, rich cultural heritage, and abundant coral reefs offers some of the best diving in the world. It is one of the last remaining areas of outstanding natural beauty unspoiled by tourism.
Nungwi beach was voted the 5th best beach in the world by the UK newspaper, the Guardian, which describes it as “…to die for”.
The island’s capital Stone Town is a designated world heritage site and blends a culture steeped in the opulence of the sultans with influences from Europe. Zanzibar has, at various times, formed part of the Portuguese, British, Italian, and German empires creating a unique legacy and almost mythical atmosphere.
Food
The Z Hotel offers two restaurants Cinnamon & Sexy Fish, as well as the Rooftop Bar which all overlook the Indian Ocean.
Cinnamon
Menu of Asian-inspired platters and stir-fries along with simple classics like burgers and salads.
The bar is fully stocked with a range of imported drinks and is perfectly positioned for watching the magnificent Zanzibari sunset at the end of a hard day’s sunbathing on the private beach, accompanied, of course, by one of the signature cocktails.
For special occasions, Cinnamon can also set aside a private area for a celebration or a more intimate dining experience.
Sexy Fish
The signature al fresco-style restaurant, sexy fish, is open for supper from 7:30 p.m. offering a contemporary African-European fusion seafood menu that includes locally-sourced seafood prepared from Zanzibar and the surrounding islands. The team will offer you an array of fresh fish, lobster, and crab to name a few all cooked with the world-famous Zanzibar spices.
The atmosphere is one of simple elegance where you can sample some of the finest cuisines Zanzibar has to offer, including tuna ceviche, lobster tempura, Senegalese crab curry, champagne prawns, or simple, grilled lobster while savoring imported wines from an international wine selection as the waves gently lap the timbers of the deck below.
