Sea Cliff Spa is a hotel spa on Toure Drive on the Msasani Peninsula, the upmarket coastal neighbourhood north of Dar es Salaam's city centre in Tanzania. The Msasani Peninsula is home to embassies, expatriate housing, restaurants and shopping, and its position along the Indian Ocean gives the area a more relaxed and breezier character than the downtown core.

Sea Cliff Spa is a hotel spa on Toure Drive on the Msasani Peninsula, the upmarket coastal neighbourhood north of Dar es Salaam's city centre in Tanzania. The Msasani Peninsula is home to embassies, expatriate housing, restaurants and shopping, and its position along the Indian Ocean gives the area a more relaxed and breezier character than the downtown core. The spa is associated with the Sea Cliff Hotel complex, which stands on the headland above the ocean, and the peninsula setting is a large part of its appeal for visitors who prefer to stay and unwind away from the central business district. The treatment menu lists massage, facials and manicures, a straightforward selection aimed at general relaxation and grooming rather than specialised therapies or multi-day wellness programmes. Massage prices start at about 130,000 TZS (roughly $52 USD) for sessions of 60 to 90 minutes, placing the spa in the mid-to-upper price tier for the city. Opening hours are listed as daily from 9:00 to 20:00. Treatments are usually arranged by appointment, and booking through the hotel reception is the standard route; walk-in requests may be accommodated when therapists are free, particularly on weekday mornings. The spa holds a rating of around 4.0 out of 5. Visitors combining a spa visit with a trip to the nearby Slipway shopping and dining area, Oyster Bay beaches or Msasani village can plan a half-day around it. Details about therapist training, pool or sauna access and any signature treatments are not independently verified here, so visitors should confirm these with the hotel before arriving.
