About Us

“You don’t have to be rich to live your dreams.”

My name is Sara Koller, I'm a 44-year-old single mother from Vorarlberg, Austria. My path has never been straight or easy. With my son Samuel, I decided to leave the familiar behind and create a place that means more than just a place to stay.

During a trip to Zanzibar, I immediately felt: This is where I belong.
From this deep intuition arose the dream of opening a place where people could not only sleep, but truly live.

Why Zanzibar?

Zanzibar touched both of us, Samuel and me, from the very first moment:
The colors, the scents, the tranquility, the simple life, and the incredibly warm-hearted people. This is the perfect place to rediscover yourself—without stress, without unnecessary luxury.

What we stand for

We believe in:

  • Simplicity instead of excess

  • real encounters instead of superficial contacts

  • Time instead of rush

  • Nature instead of consumption

Our retreat is meant to be a place where you can unwind. A place that allows you to rediscover what's truly important: community, mindfulness, and humanity.

What we offer

  • four lovingly furnished rooms

  • authentic, regional cuisine

  • Cooking classes to immerse yourself in the Zanzibar spice world

  • individual retreats and group offers

  • Activities with local guides that show Zanzibar from its real side

Everything is done with heart, with respect for the local culture and with a great deal of understanding for the special needs of solo travelers, families and long-term guests.

I look forward to welcoming you here – no matter where you come from or where you want to go.
