Details

Sacred Shores Zanzibar is a five-day women’s healing retreat for those ready to slow down, reconnect, and return to themselves. Set along the turquoise coastline of Zanzibar, our days flow with movement, breathwork, and guided ocean rituals, simple, grounding practices for nervous-system reset and feminine embodiment. We gather in cacao ceremony and sisterhood circles, where honest conversation and gentle healing meet. It’s a space to release what’s heavy, rediscover your softness, and remember your strength. The vibe is relaxed and real, sunrise swims, barefoot meals, laughter, reflection, and deep connection. This retreat isn’t about escaping your life; it’s about coming home to it, embodied, renewed, and rooted in truth.

Location

Jambiani, Tanzania

Mafumbwe is a small area located in Jambiani, a coastal village on the southeast coast of Zanzibar, Tanzania. Jambiani is known for its long stretches of white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and a laid-back local atmosphere. The village is home to a traditional fishing community, where you’ll often see dhows sailing offshore and seaweed farms tended by local women during low tide. Mafumbwe itself offers a quiet, authentic Zanzibari experience, with guesthouses, eco-lodges, and boutique accommodations surrounded by coconut palms and the Indian Ocean. Visitors enjoy swimming, snorkeling, kitesurfing, and exploring nearby coral reefs, as well as experiencing Swahili culture and cuisine. The pace of life is slow and peaceful, making it ideal for rest, reflection, and connection with the local community.

Our home for the retreat is Zen Boutique Hotel, an intimate eco-luxury space nestled just steps from the Indian Ocean. Think barefoot comfort, locally crafted details, and soft coastal light spilling through every room. Each bungalow is thoughtfully designed, spacious, air-conditioned, and surrounded by lush tropical gardens. You’ll wake to the sound of the sea and end your evenings under the stars. Private rooms, all featuring en-suite bathrooms, mosquito-netted beds, and cozy spaces to rest, journal, or simply be. The atmosphere is calm and connected, relaxed island living with a touch of modern ease. Between sessions, you can dip in the pool, walk the beach, or find a quiet corner to unwind with a coconut in hand. We chose this space because it mirrors the retreat itself: earthy, intentional, and deeply nurturing, a place that holds you while you return to yourself.

Meals

Meals provided

Breakfast · Lunch · Dinner

Diets catered

Vegan · Vegetarian

All of our meals are entirely vegetarian, designed to gently cleanse, ground, and nourish you from the inside out. We believe that what we eat shapes how we feel, and that true nourishment is an invitation to slow down, to honour the body as the vessel that carries our becoming. Each dish is prepared with care by local chefs using the island’s freshest produce, tropical fruits, vibrant vegetables, fragrant spices, and handmade breads. The menu celebrates the rhythm of the land and sea, light, wholesome, and deeply satisfying. We gather to eat together, barefoot by the ocean or under the palms, sharing laughter, stories, and silence. These meals become a ritual of connection: to nature, to one another, and to self. We choose vegetarian food because it supports clarity, presence, and peace, allowing the body to rest while the soul expands.

Schedule

Over five ocean-kissed days in Zanzibar, we journey through sacred ceremony, wild embodiment, and deep sisterhood. From cacao in ancient caves to a full-day boat safari and moonlit blessings, each moment is designed to awaken your truth, anchor your spirit, and honour your ancestral roots.

Make time to nourish your physical and spiritual self with one of Awakened Roots' Retreats

Jules, Zimbabwe

My biggest takeaway was nourishment and peace. My parting words were - "I leave with a smile."

Sally, South Africa

It was wonderful to open up the space to be present fully with myself without distraction for two days in the company of a group of women with the same intention. Takeaway: Be intentional about making space for self-discovery, always.

Nyasha, Zimbabwe

My biggest takeaway was that you don't need to do this alone. Yes, everyone is on their own journey, but we all need our support network, and sometimes it is not the people or group that you think. I was very appreciative of being able to attend such a supportive space and group; it was a huge part of the weekend for me.
