Amani Zanzibar Retreat: A Journey to Reconnect
January 21-27, 2026
"Amani" means "peace" in Swahili, a word that carries the essence of stillness and deep connection. In Zanzibar, surrounded by the rhythm of the ocean and the warmth of the land, peace feels natural—something to be remembered rather than found.
Amani Retreat is more than just a getaway—it's an invitation to step away from daily noise and rediscover the spaciousness within. Set against the serene backdrop of Zanzibar, this experience offers yoga, meditation, hypnotherapy, and transformational sessions designed to bring clarity, healing, and renewal.
Imagine moving through your day with ease—waking to ocean breezes, practicing yoga with breathtaking views, and unwinding with nourishing meals and meaningful conversations.
With over 15 years of experience guiding retreats worldwide, Vicky Tomsky creates a space of trust, growth, and transformation. Many return year after year, drawn by the sense of peace and the tools they take home to keep the retreat's magic alive in their daily lives.
Where You'll Stay: Mvuvi Boutique Resort
Nestled on Zanzibar's stunning east coast, Mvuvi Boutique Resort is a hidden gem on Kiwengwa Beach, home to the island's longest stretch of white sand.

Whether you seek relaxation or adventure, this beachfront retreat provides an unforgettable experience.
