Barafu Luxe · The Reset

Pressure is inevitable. Burnout is optional.

A weekend in Arusha arranged from the moment you leave the office to the moment you are home again: sharper, lighter, rested. Two or three nights, arranged down to the bath.

The weekend

The shape of a Reset

Every Reset is built around you. This is how one often runs.

Friday
Leave it behind
We collect you from the office, or meet your flight from Nairobi, Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar at Arusha Airport. By sunset you are on a coffee estate with a drink in hand and dinner already planned.
Saturday
Slow, then fast
A late breakfast, a massage, the pool. In the afternoon, something to get the blood up: horse riding through the acacias or archery in the pine forest. That evening, a bath drawn with petals and candles.
Sunday
Come back lighter
A coffee tour from tree to cup, the glass-blowers at Shanga, a long last lunch. Then we drive or fly you home.
