Fun Retreat Resort — Arusha's Ayurveda Spa Oasis
Fun Retreat Resort stands out in the Arusha hotel landscape for a single remarkable differentiator: it houses Arusha's only traditional Ayurvedic treatment centre. The Shirodara (warm oil stream poured on the forehead) and Abhyangam (full-body oil massage) treatments are described in reviews as "excellent" and "impeccable" — a significant rarity in Tanzania where Ayurveda is virtually unknown outside this property.
Beyond the spa, the resort is a full recreational complex: swimming pool, water sports facilities, billiards, table tennis, darts, chess, carom and arcade games — a range of indoor and outdoor activities that makes it particularly popular with families and extended-stay guests. The garden is praised as "lush and peaceful." At $106/night it is mid-range for Arusha but highly competitive given the spa facilities.

Fun Retreat Resort is the right choice for travellers who want an Ayurvedic spa experience in Arusha — the only authentic traditional treatment centre in the city. The broad recreational facilities make it excellent for families and extended stays. The Indian cuisine is another differentiator in Arusha's generally international food scene.— The SafariBando team
