The Villa · Paje · Zanzibar

In the heart of Paje,
yet worlds away.

A full-service private retreat, seventy metres from the beach. One bedroom, a pool behind privacy sails, an outdoor waterfall bath, a makuti-roof dining room under the palms. Hosted by Michael and Kamila — the people who live here.

About the villa

Stay central. Stay private. Stay elevated.

Our full-service retreat places you within walking distance of the beach, boutique cafés, and the island's most talked-about dining — while offering the privacy of your own sanctuary.

From housekeeping and security to seamless concierge support, every detail is handled. Groceries arranged, a chef on call, massages arranged at the villa, kite lessons, car and scooter hire, Swahili lessons, spice tours — anything you want to do here, we already know how.

You're five minutes from KAMI Sushi next door, ten from the nearest kite school, seventy metres from a stretch of sand that's one of the most beautiful in the world. Welcome to Mzungu Village.

YapYap Villa was sensational — they thought of everything, including a house manager and a cook. Michael was a wealth of knowledge, and his sushi restaurant next door was divine. We were almost reluctant to leave. Thank you Michael and Kamila.
