With so many treatments on offer, guests often ask us which massage to choose in Zanzibar. Here is a simple guide to the three most popular options so you can pick the right one for how you feel today.
Swedish massage — pure relaxation
Long, flowing strokes and light-to-medium pressure make Swedish massage the classic holiday choice. Ideal if you want to switch off, improve circulation and simply feel pampered.
Deep tissue — release tension
Firm, focused pressure that reaches the deeper muscle layers. Perfect after long flights, activity or if you carry tension in the neck, shoulders and back.
Hot stone — warmth and deep calm
Smooth heated stones melt away tightness before the therapist even applies pressure. Great for cooler evenings and for guests who love deep, soothing warmth.
Still unsure?
Tell your therapist how you feel and they will tailor the session — many guests enjoy a blend of Swedish flow with deep tissue on problem areas.
