Kempinski Hotels has relaunched its Zamani Zanzibar resort as Zamani Retreat Kempinski following a redevelopment.

The spa resort will be marketed as Africa's first holistic health retreat and will introduce a new concept based on three 'houses', offering guests a wide variety of traditional and contemporary treatments combining different healing traditions.

The House of Africa will treat guests using indigenous herbs and treatments reflecting the ancient curative methods. Treatments within the House of Africa are drawn from the traditional Maasai medicine of East Africa and provided under the guidance of third generation Maasai healers Ole Labiki Menyaengara and Ole Sululu using medicinal plants and herbs grown on site.

The House of Asia will feature Tibetan herbal medicine, using traditional remedies and products from Tibet, administered by doctors.

The third, the House of India, will offer Ayurvedic treatments under the supervision of medical practitioners and treatments will include specialised Panchakarma detox and weight management programmes. All products used in the treatments are personally created for each individual using natural products from Kerala.

The House of India programme also incorporates Ayurvedic cooking sessions and fitness and leisure activities to complement the Ayurvedic treatments.

All experiences are personalised following an initial health consultation intended to address the specific needs of the individual.
