Villa De Coco  

On Zanzibar’s east coast between Jambiani and Paje, Villa de Coco sits steps from white-sand lagoon and Paje Beach. You’re minutes from Kite Centre Zanzibar and Zanzibar Kite Paradise, about 3 km from the local hub and roughly 53 km from Abeid Amani Karume International Airport.

This boutique beach resort has just 12 rooms designed for sea views and sea-breeze mornings, each with a private patio. Rooms include safes, desks, showers and daily housekeeping. The property is tucked in a lush tropical garden with a romantic beach bar and a relaxed reception vibe.

Private beach and an outdoor pool line the shore for easy swims and sunrise dips. On-site features include a massage room, a diving club, a library and a tours desk to book local excursions. The resort is pet-friendly and can arrange transfers, car rental and laundry services.

Complimentary wireless internet is available across the property. Luggage storage and a safe-deposit box are on site, and a roundtrip airport shuttle is offered for a surcharge. Free self-parking is also provided.

Eat beachfront at the resort’s restaurant or unwind at the romantic beach bar. There’s also a café/coffee shop and limited-hours room service for easy, relaxed meals as you watch the tide.
