Since 2010

A Living Tradition

Zanzibar has a long memory for the ritual of bathing. Sultans commissioned private baths here, and Stone Town’s Hamamni Baths were built for a community that understood water, heat and stillness as essential.

Cinnamon Spa & Hammam was founded in that same spirit, and has spent sixteen years refining an experience that honours the island’s bathing heritage.

The signature ritual

The Hammam

Steam opens the skin, a kese mitt lifts away what the heat has loosened, oil works into the muscle, a final rinse clears everything. Then rest and herbal tea.

Amina and Zaina were wonderful. The Royal Hammam was a fantastic experience, and I’d love to do it again.

I had an amazing experience at Cinnamon Spa. I did the hammam treatment with Zena, and my friend had Diana. Soooo thorough! The body scrub, mud bath, and massage were all so enjoyable. I left feeling squeaky clean and very relaxed. Zena, you are so friendly and amazing- thank you!
