The zen experience packages

Relax, Unwind & Rejuvenate (7 day)

Relax, Unwind & Rejuvenate (7 day)

Seven nights to step away from everything and return to yourself.

From the moment you land, we take care of the details — starting with return airport transfers, so your journey to Zen Boutique is as effortless as the days that follow. Settle into seven nights of full board accommodation, where island-inspired dining and genuine Zanzibari hospitality set the tone for a stay built entirely around rest.


Let a relaxing massage melt away whatever you carried with you, and join a yoga class designed to reconnect breath and body in the island air. As the world wakes around you, a sunrise meditation experience offers a rare kind of stillness — watching the Zanzibari sky soften into morning, mind quiet, senses wide open.


Indulge in a floating breakfast for two, drifting on the infinity pool as the day begins in the most memorable way possible, followed by a romantic private dining experience for two — an evening set apart from the rest of the resort, just the two of you, the island light, and a meal made to remember.


This is more than a holiday. It's permission to slow down, breathe deeply, and let Zanzibar do what it does best — bring you back to yourself.


Relax, Unwind & Rejuvenate — seven nights, endlessly restorative.

Zen, Zanzibar & Safari (10 day)

Relax, Unwind & Rejuvenate (7 day)

 Ten days that take you from island stillness to wild adventure and back again — the very best of Tanzania, held together by the calm of Zen Boutique.


It begins, as always, with return airport transfers, easing you straight into ten nights of full board accommodation, where every meal and every moment carries the relaxed rhythm of island life. But this package doesn't stop at the shoreline.


Cross to the mainland for a full-day Mikumi National Park safari, venturing deep into one of Tanzania's great wildlife reserves — elephants, giraffes, lions and endless open plains, a world away from the ocean you've come to know. 


Then return to the water for the Safari Blue Ocean Adventure, sailing across the turquoise seas around Zanzibar, snorkelling through vibrant reef life and drifting past sandbanks that seem to rise straight out of the ocean.


Back at Zen Boutique, the island welcomes you home. Wake to a floating breakfast for two, drifting across the infinity pool as morning light spreads over the water, and let an evening unfold with a romantic private dining experience for two, set apart from the everyday rhythm of the resort. A relaxing massage for two rounds out the journey — two bodies, two minds, both finally, fully at rest.


Safari by day. Serenity by night. Ocean, savannah, and everything in between — this is Zanzibar in its fullest form.


Zen, Zanzibar & Safari — ten days, two worlds, one unforgettable journey.


  • Return Airport Transfers
  • 10 Nights Full Board Accommodation
  • Full Day Mainland Mikumi Safari National Park
  • Safari Blue Ocean Adventure
  • Floating Breakfast for Two
  • Romantic Private Dinning Experience for Two
  • Relaxing Massage for Two

Ultimate Explorer (14 day)

Ultimate Explorer (14 day)

 For those who don't want to choose between adventure and relaxation — because why settle for one, when Zanzibar offers both in abundance. The Ultimate Explorer is our most complete journey: fourteen nights that take you across savannah, ocean, spice-scented backstreets, and mangrove waterways, all anchored by the calm of Zen Boutique.


It begins with return airport transfers into fourteen nights of full board accommodation, giving you all the time this island — and the adventures beyond it — truly deserve.


Head to the mainland for a full-day Mikumi National Park safari, tracking wildlife across one of Tanzania's most iconic reserves, before returning to the coast for the Safari Blue Ocean Adventure, sailing turquoise waters, snorkelling coral reefs, and lunching on a sandbank in the middle of the Indian Ocean.


Immerse yourself in island culture with a Stone Town tour, wandering centuries-old winding streets steeped in history, and a spice farm tour, discovering first hand why Zanzibar earned its name as the Spice Island — the scents, flavours, and stories behind cloves, vanilla, and cinnamon that shaped this island's past. Then slow right down for sunset paddle boarding through the mangroves, gliding silently through ancient waterways as the sky turns gold — one of Zanzibar's most quietly beautiful experiences.


And woven through it all, moments made for two: a floating breakfast for two drifting across the infinity pool, a romantic private dining experience set apart from the everyday, and a relaxing massage for two to bring body and mind fully back to rest.

This is Zanzibar without compromise — safari and sea, culture and cuisine, adventure and absolute stillness. Fourteen nights to explore everything the island has to offer, and still have time left over to simply breathe.


Ultimate Explorer — the complete Zanzibar, in full.

  • 14 Nights Full Board Accommodation

  • Safari Blue Ocean Adventure
