Our Opinion of Zanzibar White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa
Zanzibar White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa is the only Relais & Châteaux member in Tanzania, and it shows. This family-owned resort on the southeast coast at Paje Beach offers something genuinely different: mindful luxury backed by a serious sustainability ethos. Solar panels, a wind turbine, solar water heating and partnerships with local NGOs are woven into the operation rather than tacked on as an afterthought.
The accommodation consists of 18 private villas and 3 rooms, each set in lush tropical gardens with the dedicated care of a personal butler. The attention to detail is exceptional, and the feeling of privacy is absolute. Dining includes the fine dining Doors to Zanzibar Restaurant, a Beach Restaurant & Bar with stunning ocean views, a Sunset Bar for cocktails and shisha, and a Lounge Bar with a pool table and library. Breakfast and dinner are included, with full board and all-inclusive packages available.
Paje Beach is one of Zanzibar’s best, and the resort keeps it free of motorised sports, ensuring peace and quiet. It is also a world-class kitesurfing destination for those who want action. The village of Paje is just a kilometre away, and the airport is about an hour’s drive.
Best for couples seeking a genuinely luxurious, eco-conscious escape with exceptional service and a strong sense of place. The Relais & Châteaux credentials guarantee a level of food and hospitality that few Zanzibar resorts can match. Not for budget travellers or those wanting a party scene, but for an unforgettable, sustainably minded beach holiday, this is one of the finest addresses on the island.
