Cinnamon Spa

'Experience Pure Serenity'

About Us

Driven by a deep passion for the beauty and rich traditions of Swahili culture, Javed and Kulsum Jafferji embarked on a mission to establish Cinnamon Spa on the captivating island of Unguja in Zanzibar. The seed for this concept was planted in 2007 when Javed was creating a coffee table book titled “Safari Spa,” and he realized the absence of quality luxury spas on the island.

After years of meticulous planning and extensive research into modern and traditional therapies, Cinnamon Spa proudly opened its doors to the public in December 2010, marking the beginning of a new era for spa tourism in Zanzibar. In 2023, after 13 years of successful operation, the spa underwent a rebranding and redesign, unveiling a fresh and stunning interior. Powered by Zuri Rituals, our sister company crafting botanical skincare products with love in Zanzibar, the spa has elevated its offerings to new heights.

At Cinnamon Spa and Salon, we curate an exceptional selection of over fifty therapies and treatments, utilizing the finest organic ingredients sourced from the archipelago. From invigorating sea salt and nourishing seaweed to a captivating array of therapeutic spices found on the islands, each Cinnamon Spa experience is a harmonious blend of past and present. You can also take home the magic of our treatments by purchasing organic Zuri Rituals products from our boutique.

As you enter our spa, you will discover the first Ayurvedic spa in Zanzibar, featuring a dedicated Ayurveda specialist from Kerala, India. Ayurveda, an ancient healing practice dating back 5,000 years, promotes natural well-being by addressing the mental, physical, and emotional aspects of our being. Immerse yourself in the wisdom of Ayurveda, and experience the transformative power of this holistic approach to health and wellness.

At Cinnamon Spa, we believe in nurturing the mind, body, and soul, fusing the beauty of nature, culture, and tradition to restore balance and tranquillity. Our holistic spa experiences seamlessly integrate Western wellness practices with timeless Ayurvedic traditions, offering you rejuvenation on multiple levels. We also offer spa packages ranging from one to five days, allowing you to embark on a comprehensive wellness journey.

To further enhance our services, we have recently welcomed a new esthetician, professionally trained in Mumbai, India. With expertise in haircuts, colouring, bridal hair, makeup, and various skin treatments, our esthetician brings a wealth of knowledge and skill to enhance your beauty and well-being.

We are dedicated to providing our customers with the highest standard of service. Our team of 13 highly skilled therapists and salon staff boasts years of experience, and we take pride in empowering local women in Zanzibar. Many of our staff members have been with us since the beginning, and we continually invest in their professional development through additional training from expert therapists from Indonesia, India, and Thailand. Our commitment to nurturing the local community and maintaining a dynamic team is at the core of our ethos.

When you visit Stone Town, we invite you to immerse yourself in an array of indulgent experiences at Cinnamon Spa and Salon. Discover the beauty and authenticity of Swahili traditions, be pampered by our expert therapists, and embark on a transformative journey of wellness and self-care.
