A Personal Invitation to Mwani Zanzibar

Join us for an immersive journey into the world of Mwani Zanzibar. We plan our daily schedule according to the ocean tides and the phase of the moon. Choose a day on the calendar below to see how the coast sets our rhythm and which experiences are available.

Mwani Experiences

A Coastal Dining Experience. Except there is no table. Here by the coast, dining is most comfortably done on the floor, surrounded by cushions and open to the sea air. Step away from the tourist path and into our upstairs sanctuary for a private meal shaped entirely by the women who live and work here. There is no fixed restaurant menu. We would like to treat you to a three-course meal shared the way we do at home- inspired by the ocean, the shifting tides, and what delights us the most: seaweed. 

 When the ocean rises, a new rhythm takes over our day. It is when our ladies roll up their sleeves to focus on our skincare production. Meet the team and see the work in motion before it is your turn to roll up your sleeves. Relax in your own comfortable sanctuary whilst enjoying light beverages inspired by our tradition. Guided by the women who know these ingredients best, you will blend rich natural oils, botanicals, and sea minerals to craft your own signature 200g seaweed body scrub—a restorative creation tailored entirely to you, which you get to take home with you. 

Join us for a 90-minute journey from seaweed farm to workshop, discovering how locally grown and wild-harvested seaweed is transformed into high-performance skincare. Begin with a glass of our signature seaweed tonic before visiting the seaweed farm to learn about our regenerative growing practices, then head to our workshop to see how the seaweed is transformed into the products we create at Mwani Zanzibar.
