About White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa

Zanzibar White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa is a boutique, Relais & Châteaux property set on the powder-white sands of Paje on Zanzibar’s southeast coast. Spread across four hectares of tropical gardens and beachfront, the resort offers one of the island’s most exclusive and private luxury experiences, combining spacious villa-style accommodation with exceptional service and direct access to one of Zanzibar’s most beautiful beaches.

Designed around the concept of “mindful luxury”, White Sand places a strong emphasis on sustainability, privacy and personalised hospitality. The resort is known for its eco-conscious design, spacious layout and peaceful atmosphere, making it particularly appealing for honeymooners, couples and those wanting a more refined beach escape. As a member of Relais & Châteaux, it balances understated elegance with world-class service and an authentic connection to Zanzibar’s natural surroundings.

01

Accommodation

Rooms

White Sand’s current collection comprises 19 villas and three Cinnamon rooms. Villa choices range from one-bedroom accommodation to larger family and group layouts, with beachfront and garden positions offering different views and access. Selected villas have private pools, while other categories have a hot tub or different outdoor arrangements. The Cinnamon rooms provide a smaller alternative and should not be described using the size or pool facilities of a villa. We match the actual category to your party.

02

Food & drink

Dining

Dining at White Sand is a standout experience, with fresh seafood, organic produce from the hotel’s own gardens and locally inspired flavours forming the foundation of its cuisine. Guests can dine in two restaurants, enjoy cocktails at the rooftop Champagne bar, or relax with lighter beachside fare overlooking the Indian Ocean. The culinary approach is polished yet relaxed, with a strong focus on freshness, quality and seasonal ingredients.

03

What to do

Activities

The resort has tennis and padel courts, a fitness centre and The Senses Spa, with an infrared sauna, steam room and hot tub. Paje’s wind and tidal lagoon make kitesurfing a significant part of the activity offering; lessons are arranged around experience and conditions. Yoga, other marine activities and Zanzibar excursions add variety. Treatments, tuition and outings need to be distinguished from facilities included in the stay.

Planning your stay

How White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa fits your journey.

Match the exact room or villa to your party, then allow enough beach nights after safari to enjoy the property and Paje. Water sports and excursions can be added without turning the beach stay into a rushed schedule.

The right fit

Would White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa suit you?

Who it suits

Couples or families who want choice between accommodation categories and a beach setting with opportunities for activities.

Things to consider

Not every booking has the same pool, view or beach access. Paje is tidal and can be windy, which matters when deciding whether swimming, kitesurfing or quiet villa time is the priority.

Useful to know

White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa FAQs.

Does every room include a private pool?

No. White Sand has different rooms and villa categories. We confirm the pool facilities and location of the exact category you book.

Is White Sand suitable for families?

There are accommodation options for families, but bedroom configuration, ages and any required services should be checked for your group.

Can we swim at Paje Beach all day?

The shoreline is tidal, so sea depth changes through the day. Pools and other activities provide alternatives when conditions do not suit swimming.

Can we arrange kitesurfing?

Lessons and sessions depend on wind, tides, available instructors and experience. Tell us your level so the appropriate arrangements can be checked.
