Dhow Inn Boutique Hotel  

On Zanzibar’s southeast coast in the friendly fishing village of Paje, right on Paje Beach and under an hour’s drive from Stone Town. Minutes from Jambiani Beach, Bwejuu Beach and the Maalum Cave Pool, this boutique beach hotel puts you close to East Africa’s famed shoreline. Family-friendly and beachfront—perfect for sun, sea and sand seekers.

Airy, seaside-chic rooms lean on a white, blue and warm-yellow palette. The hotel has about 44 guestrooms that open to the pool and garden area, each with a private furnished balcony and a stocked minibar. Rooms start around 33 m², with larger Superior rooms near 45 m². Think relaxed coastal style, sea-breeze mornings and simple, elegant comforts like bathrobes and thoughtful toiletries.

Soak in multiple pools (several outdoor pools plus indoor options), stroll to the private beach, or unwind at the spa with a massage. Two bars and lounges plus a coffee shop keep drinks and snacks close. Family-friendly extras include a kids’ playroom and babysitting (surcharge). On-property activities include a diving club, table tennis/ping-pong and a tour desk to book local excursions. Practical perks: 24-hour front desk, concierge, multilingual staff, laundry/dry cleaning, car rental and free onsite self-parking; roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout the property and a 24-hour front desk to keep you connected and on schedule.
