The Nest Boutique Resort is a five-star beachfront property on Paje Beach, positioned directly on the water’s edge in one of Zanzibar’s most celebrated kitesurfing and beach holiday locations on the southeast coast. The resort’s architectural concept is distinctly theatrical and immersive: bungalows and villas are elevated on wooden poles with outdoor private bathrooms open to the sky, sand pathways connect the buildings through lush tropical gardens, and bed platforms are at ground level, encouraging a direct, unhurried connection with the natural environment. The aesthetic is bold, creative, and unlike anything else in Paje part beachfront retreat, part artistic installation.
A small boutique selection of rooms, suites, and villas (some rooms on high poles with panoramic beach and sea views from their upper-floor balconies) combine air conditioning, minibar, WiFi, fridge, and en-suite facilities with the resort’s signature tropical-outdoor bathroom experience. The on-site restaurant and B4 snack bar serve European and international cuisine. A tennis court, garden, and terrace add to the resort facilities. Paje is a world-class kitesurfing destination with Aquaholics Kite & Surf and Buccaneer Diving nearby and The Nest’s beachfront position makes it one of the most convenient properties for water sports access in Paje.
Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) is approximately 40km from Paje on Zanzibar’s southeast coast, roughly a 1-hour drive. The property arranges airport transfers. Daily flights connect Zanzibar with Dar es Salaam (approx. 20 min), Nairobi, Kilimanjaro, and Mombasa.
