Great stay in Paje! The place itself was really nice, especially the pool and the pool table. Loved the bathtub too. Super easy access to the beach, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby.
An architect-designed two-bedroom villa in central Paje, Zanzibar. Private pool under the palms, daily housekeeping and concierge, and dinner delivered from KAMI Sushi next door.
A palm over the water and a wooden terrace alongside. Yours alone, open all day.
One minute on foot to the white sand and the kitesurfing lagoon.
Daily cleaning, security, breakfast, massages, car hire and kite lessons, arranged.
Battery backup and fibre WiFi keep running through the island's power cuts.
The Villa
Two king ensuite bedrooms, an open-air living room and kitchen under a makuti roof, a private spa room, and a pool you can see from the bed. All on one level, in a quiet pocket of central Paje.

Your stay begins at a mango wood door carved by Zanzibari artists, every motif worked by hand. A private pincode lets you in, so there is nothing to keep track of.
Self check-in from 3 pm. The door opens straight into the garden.

The social spaces sit outdoors under a traditional roof of woven palm leaves. Living room, dining table and a full kitchen flow into each other, with ceiling fans where you need them.
The kitchen is set up for real cooking: fridge, hob, full prep space and a wall of Zanzibari spices. Or sit at the bar with a drink while someone else cooks.

The indoor sanctuary: air-conditioned, quiet, with doors that open onto the garden. Each has its own bathroom in the same nature-integrated style, with natural light, plants and a stone bathtub.

A dedicated, climate-controlled spa room for in-villa treatments. The concierge books massages, facials and longer wellness sessions with local therapists, straight into the room.

Guest Reviews
Great stay in Paje! The place itself was really nice, especially the pool and the pool table. Loved the bathtub too. Super easy access to the beach, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby.
Michael was a great host and his spot was fantastic for our needs while in Paje. He was extremely responsive, super helpful leading up to the trip, and attentive to any needs or requests that came up during our stay.
We enjoyed it! An oasis of peace. Mathias is worth his weight in gold. He helped us when needed. Breakfast was a wonderful start to the day.
This was my second time staying here, and it was just as lovely as the first. The place is clean, cozy, and really comfortable, and everything worked perfectly.
Had an incredible stay. Michael really thought of everything. We enjoyed a massage at the place as well as a beautiful breakfast every morning.
