A base in Zanzibar.

Dhow Inn Boutique Hotel Zanzibar is a serene and stylish retreat nestled in the heart of Paje, designed to provide a "laid-back luxury" experience through its blend of traditional Swahili architecture and clean, modern aesthetics. The property is thoughtfully organized around three distinct freshwater swimming pools that serve as quiet sanctuaries amidst lush tropical gardens, offering guests a range of environments from a dedicated 25-meter lap pool to more intimate, palm-shaded lounging areas. While the hotel is set slightly back from the coastline to ensure privacy and tranquility, it maintains an exclusive private beach area on the famous white sands of Paje Beach, where guests can enjoy dedicated sunbeds and a beach bar. The guest rooms are bright and airy, featuring minimalist white decor with natural wood accents, while the on-site dining focuses on fresh, local ingredients served in a relaxed open-air setting. Beyond relaxation, the hotel is a well-known hub for kite surfing enthusiasts, housing its own professional center with equipment storage and lessons to take advantage of the steady trade winds just steps away.
