A Tropical State of Mind

THREE BEACHFRONT HOTELS · ONE TRUSTED COLLECTION

Boutique Beach Hotels on Zanzibar's South East Coast

Discover three distinctive beachfront hotels between Paje, Dongwe and
Pingwe, each created for a different way of experiencing Zanzibar.

Choose Amani Boutique Hotel for adults-only quiet luxury close to Paje,
Ocean Boutique Hotel for silence, sea views and restorative beachfront
living, or The Sands Beach Resort for spacious villas, tropical gardens
and relaxed family-friendly stays.

Together, they share the same spirit: personal hospitality, clean and comfortable spaces, fresh cuisine, direct access to the Indian Ocean and a slower, more authentic way to experience Zanzibar.

LOCATION

The South East Coast of Zanzibar

Our hotels are located between Paje, Dongwe and Pingwe, on the South East Coast of Zanzibar, a coastline known for white sand, turquoise tides, reef-protected waters, kitesurfing, diving, quiet beach walks and a more relaxed atmosphere than the island's busier northern areas.

Here, Zanzibar still feels open and natural. Guests can enjoy long beaches, local villages, ocean activities, romantic dinners, massages, fresh seafood and easy access to some of the island's most iconic excursions, while returning each evening to a calm and personal hotel environment.
