EXCLUSIVE EXCURSIONS
AT ZERO COST
At Villa Thamani, we offer you something that goes beyond classic tourist excursions: two unique and authentic experiences designed to help you discover the true soul of Zanzibar.
These are not tours organized for visitors, but genuine moments of local life, lived alongside our people and accompanied by the Villa Thamani staff, who will share with you traditions, smiles, and everyday stories.
These experiences can be enjoyed on separate days or combined into a single day, depending on your schedule.
🐠 1. The Fishermen’s Village
Discover the authentic heart of Zanzibar as you stroll through the sandy paths of a fishermen’s village, where time moves slowly and life still follows the rhythm of the sea.
You’ll meet men and women at work, boats returning at sunset, and children playing with joyful smiles— a moment of pure authenticity, far from mass tourism.
📚 2. The Village School
Experience a moving moment by visiting a local school, where you can meet a local teacher and observe the children during their lessons.
Those who wish may make a small gesture of solidarity by purchasing notebooks, pens, and pencils from the village shops to donate to the students.
A simple experience, but one of great human value.
🌿 These two exclusive excursions are experiences you can live only during a stay at Villa Thamani.
A truly authentic way to discover the real Zanzibar—made of people, encounters, and genuine smiles—far from tourist circuits and close to the island’s heart.

MASSAGE
AT VILLA THAMANI
Treat yourself to a moment of pure well-being at Villa Thamani, lulled by the sound of the sea and the ocean breeze.
A professional masseuse will come directly to the villa and prepare everything needed for a unique relaxation experience: the massage will be performed on a comfortable bed set up on the sea-view terrace, surrounded by the sound of the waves and soft background music.
During the treatment, natural coconut oil will be used on the body to deeply hydrate and nourish the skin, along with aloe vera face cream for a soothing and regenerating effect.

💆♀ Cost: €25 per person
The massage can be booked at any time—either before your arrival directly on the website during the booking process, or once you are at the Villa with the help of our staff.
A reservation is required, as our masseuses—the only ones authorized to enter the Villa for massages—also work with other facilities and operate by appointment.
Let yourself drift into an oasis of peace where body and mind find harmony again.
