The Residence Zanzibar
ila spa launches exclusive treatments
at The Residence Zanzibar –
a first for Tanzania
March 2015 heralded the arrival of Tanzania’s first ever
ila spa treatments, at The Residence Zanzibar. On the
south-west coast of the mystical ‘Spice Island’, this 66
villa hideaway has long been a hotspot for those in
search of a relaxing retreat – with its spacious private
villas, welcoming hospitality, and idyllic location. The
draw will soon be even greater thanks to ila’s new,
exclusive treatment menu, using local ingredients
and rituals. Meaning ‘Earth’ in Sanskrit, ‘ila’ is
passionate about the power of nature as the source of
real wellness, using only the finest natural plant and
mineral ingredients. Working with The Residence
Zanzibar allows ila to capture the rich culture of
Zanzibar, and highlight the wellbeing properties
of locally grown plants and herbs. The exclusive ila
treatments make use of honey from local beehives,
as well as local coconut, cinammon, lemongrass and
cloves.
NEW signature and exclusive treatments include:
The Elite Zanzibar Spice Journey by ila

heart through local rituals, music as well as rich,
decadent herbs and spices. This is a heavenly full-body

Guests are encouraged to surrender themselves to
the mysteries of the Spice Island and allow the ila
therapists to work their magic with this treatment.
