Zanzibar Luxury Villas And Spa

Zanzibar White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa is one of the finest luxury resorts in Zanzibar and a proud member of Relais & Châteaux. Located directly on the powder-white sands of Paje Beach, this award-winning boutique resort combines exceptional privacy, world-class service and outstanding facilities with one of the island's best beachfront locations.
Designed for discerning couples, honeymooners and families, every villa offers generous indoor and outdoor living spaces, private gardens and a private swimming pool, creating an intimate retreat just moments from the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.
The resort offers an excellent selection of spacious one, two and five-bedroom villas, together with elegant Garden Villas and Cinnamon Rooms. A new Garden Two-Bedroom Villa for 2026 has recently been introduced, featuring two interconnected bedrooms on the same level, a private plunge pool and hot tub, making it an excellent choice for families or friends travelling together.
Dining is a highlight, with beautifully presented international cuisine complemented by fresh local seafood and produce. Guests can choose from breakfast, half-board or full-board meal plans, while private in-villa dining provides the perfect option for special occasions.
Wellness is at the heart of the White Sand experience. The luxurious spa offers an extensive range of treatments, while a stunning beachfront yoga platform hosts complimentary yoga sessions several times each week, allowing guests to relax overlooking the Indian Ocean.
The resort is perfectly positioned on Paje Beach, widely regarded as the best kitesurfing destination in Zanzibar. The shallow turquoise lagoon and reliable trade winds provide ideal conditions for both beginners and experienced riders, while paddleboarding, snorkelling, diving and sailing excursions are also available.
The resort has also become one of the most environmentally responsible luxury properties in East Africa. Following a major investment in renewable energy, every villa and suite is now powered entirely by solar energy, allowing guests to enjoy a truly sustainable luxury experience without compromising comfort.

Booking White Sands Luxury Villas with us

We lose sleep so you don’t.

We take every booking personally. Here's what happens after you book a dive trip with us, before you fly and while you're away.

01

Your money stays in trust

Your payments go into a trust account, not our bank, and stay there until after your trip. If we ever stopped trading, the money would come back to you.

02

Your diving booked before you fly

Your dives with the centre or the boat, the flights, the transfers and the room you chose are all confirmed before you leave home. The driver who meets you will be there and will speak English.

03

A call before you go

Documents, visas, your certification card and insurance that covers your diving. We go through it on the phone, and you can ask anything else while we're talking.

04

On WhatsApp the whole trip

Wherever you are and whatever the time, there's one number to message or call. Flight delayed, room not right, a problem at the dive centre: the person who answers already knows your booking.

No obligation. We’ll come back with a full itinerary and a price.
