About the hotel

Zanzibar White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa is an intimate five-star boutique resort located on the pristine shores of Paje Beach, on Zanzibar’s southeast coast. Set within four hectares of lush tropical gardens, the resort offers a peaceful and private retreat combining refined barefoot luxury with an authentic sense of place. The spacious villas have been designed to provide exceptional privacy and comfort. Most feature a private swimming pool, generous indoor and outdoor living areas, and dedicated butler service. Additional accommodation options include elegant Cinnamon rooms for couples and families. Guests can enjoy two restaurants showcasing refined cuisine inspired by Zanzibar’s multicultural heritage, complemented by three bars offering relaxed settings throughout the day. The Senses Spa provides a tranquil wellness experience, while the resort’s facilities include a gym, tennis and padel courts, a large swimming pool and a wide range of water sports. Located beside one of the world’s most renowned kitesurfing lagoons, the resort is home to Zanzibar Kite Paradise, offering kitesurfing, wing foiling, e-foiling, Hobie Cat sailing, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking and snorkelling. The changing tides reveal a spectacular natural lagoon, creating two distinctive ocean experiences throughout the day. A member of Relais & Châteaux since 2017, Zanzibar White Sand was awarded Zanzibar’s first Michelin Key in 2025. Sustainability is central to the resort’s philosophy, with the villas powered entirely by solar energy and approximately half of the property’s overall energy requirements produced on site. Ideal for couples, honeymooners and families seeking space, privacy and understated elegance, Zanzibar White Sand offers a serene alternative to larger island resorts.
