Extraordinary African Safaris
Zanzibar's liveliest southeast beach — a wide turquoise lagoon, a buzzing kite scene, and laid-back beach bars.
Paje is the social heart of Zanzibar’s southeast coast: a long, wide beach on a shallow turquoise lagoon, famous worldwide for kitesurfing and loved for its relaxed, youthful, international vibe. Beach bars, yoga decks, and chilled cafés line the sand, and the energy is friendly rather than flashy.
It suits independent travellers, kiters, and anyone who wants a beach with a bit of life. The lagoon is tidal — spectacular flats at low tide, swimming at high — so it’s as much about the scene and the sports as lying still.
Transfer to a Paje beach hotel.
Kitesurf, paddleboard, or relax on the sand.
Stroll the flats at low tide, swim at high.
Sundowners and a laid-back social scene.
Paje is the place if you want energy, sports, and a sociable crowd — less so if you want a quiet, swim-at-any-tide beach (the lagoon is very tidal). The wind that makes it a kite mecca can also make pure beach-lounging breezy. Match it to your mood; quieter alternatives are nearby.
These are the destinations we most often pair with Paje Beach Holiday, based on route flow, season, and how the wider itinerary fits together.
