The brand

Made Here, Used Here

Zuri is the Swahili word for beautiful. Zuri Rituals began with oils and scrubs that Javed and Kulsum made at home in Zanzibar, and grew into a full range for face, body and hair.

Everything is still made on the island, in small batches, so it reaches the spa fresh. It is the range we use every day in our treatment rooms and hammam.

In your treatment

Every Product We Use Is Zuri

The foam in the hammam, the oil in your massage and the mask in your facial are all made by Zuri Rituals. Because the products are made on the island, they come to us fresh, and our therapists know each one well.

If you love something used in your treatment, ask your therapist for its name before you leave.
