Solo, Soulful and Serene

 Cenizaro Hotels & Resorts Introduces Solo Soulcations for 2025

With 76% of Millennials and Gen Z’s planning on taking a solo trip this year*, Cenizaro Hotels and Resorts is inviting travellers to embark on a “Solo Soulcation” in 2025. The new offering is available across the group’s curated collection of properties, from the pristine beaches of Zanzibar and Mauritius to luxurious overwater retreats in the Maldives, as well as the cultural enclave of Tunis and serene desertscapes of Douz. This innovative approach offers a 20% discount on 4-5 night stays for solo travellers, on a half-board basis.  Encouraging individuals to embrace the art of self-love by celebrating the joys of solitude and personal discovery, each property will offer experiences distinct to the destination, designed to be savoured solo.

Guests booking onto the new package will receive an indulgent 45-60 minute massage, with an additional 10% off a selection of bespoke spa treatments from Swahili-inspired rituals to traditional hammam therapies. Promising a tranquil end to each day, guests will also receive a petal-drawn bath complemented by a soothing turndown tea ritual.

Cenizaro Hotels & Resorts takes pride in offering destination-inspired experiences tailored to the unique heritage of each location, from rum making to line fishing and souk exploration. What’s more, guests can master indigenous cooking techniques under the watchful eye of the resorts’ head chefs, incorporating freshly plucked herbs and vegetables that are sustainably cultivated from the Earth Basket, a year-round on-site kitchen garden located across the portfolio.
