About Dhow Inn Boutique Hotel Zanzibar
A contemporary beachfront boutique hotel designed around pools, open spaces, and Zanzibar’s southeast coast lifestyle.
Dhow Inn Boutique Hotel is located in the coastal village of Paje on Zanzibar’s southeast shore, a region known for wide beaches, steady ocean breezes, and water sports culture. The property is arranged across landscaped grounds with multiple swimming pools, creating a relaxed, low-rise resort layout rather than a single central building. Rooms feature modern interiors softened with local design details, while shared spaces encourage unhurried movement between poolside, dining areas, and the beach. The atmosphere balances leisure and activity, with the shoreline, village life, and kite-surfing hubs all within easy reach.

Discover what each area has to offer and find a hotel in Zanzibar that suits your trip, budget, and plans.
Paje sits along Zanzibar’s southeast coast, facing a shallow lagoon shaped by tides and coral reefs. The area is less urban than Stone Town and more open than the northern resort zones, defined by long beach walks, palm-lined paths, and a steady flow of travelers drawn to the sea. Life here follows the rhythm of the tides, with mornings active and evenings slower, centered around beachside dining and local cafés.
Nearby Attractions
- Paje Beach – A long white-sand beach known for kite surfing, swimming during high tide, and open coastal views.
- Paje Village – A laid-back coastal settlement with local restaurants, cafés, and everyday island life.
- Kite Surfing Centers – Several schools and rental centers located along the beach, popular year-round.
- Blue Lagoon Area – Shallow turquoise waters ideal for relaxed swimming and reef exploration at certain tides.
- Southeast Coast Beaches – Easy access to neighboring beaches along Zanzibar’s less-developed shoreline.
What to Expect Around Here
The pace in Paje is coastal and informal. Days are shaped by wind and tide, with activity focused on the beach and water. Nights are quieter, favoring relaxed dinners and open-air settings rather than nightlife-heavy scenes.
