Zanzibar White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa is a Relais & Châteaux member resort on Paje Beach — Zanzibar’s world-renowned southeast coast kitesurfing destination and one of the island’s most beautiful stretches of white sand — set over four hectares of lush coastal vegetation with 200 metres of beachfront. The resort was designed by Neil Rocher, one of East Africa’s most respected architects, with each villa a standalone two-unit structure: a sleeping pavilion and a living pavilion connected by a private garden with a sparkling plunge pool. The architecture uses natural materials sympathetically embedded in the setting, with baobab trees and exotic gardens framing the buildings and the Indian Ocean beyond.
Accommodation spans five Beachfront Villas (directly on the sand, absolute front-row ocean access), five Two-Bedroom Villas (ideal for families or groups, with private pool and recreational area), and three Cinnamon Rooms. All villas include dedicated butler service, personalised minibar, daily maid service, private plunge pool, Egyptian cotton bedding, and in-villa dining on request. The Doors to Zanzibar fine-dining restaurant and Beach Restaurant provide two dining moods; a rooftop Champagne bar and Sunset Lounge complete the bar offering. The Senses Spa encompasses massage rooms, sauna, steam room, and hot tub within a tropical garden. The resort’s kitesurfing centre — Zanzibar Kite Paradise — is one of the island’s premier facilities, capitalising on Paje’s consistent trade winds and shallow flat-water lagoon.
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.
