Paje · Zanzibar
A boutique garden stay on 7,000 m² of tropical greenery — ten minutes from Paje Beach on foot, and a world away from its noise.
The property
Diamond Coast sits on a 7,000 m² garden plot on the edge of Paje — close enough to walk to the kite schools, cafés and shops in five minutes, and far enough away that the nights stay quiet. The four accommodation types share the same grounds: mature palms, an open lawn, and a 70,000-litre pool that anchors the garden.
Every unit is air-conditioned with garden views, and the two smaller apartments include their own kitchenette — built for guests who want to cook a slow breakfast as much as those who want to disappear to the beach for the day.
Accommodation
From a compact studio apartment to a three-bedroom house, each type opens onto the same 7,000 m² grounds. Prices shown are the nightly rate for one guest; larger parties and longer stays are quoted directly.

Experiences
Paje is the launch point for the east coast's best-known activities. The tour desk can arrange any of the following.
Paje's steady cross-shore wind and shallow lagoon make it East Africa's kitesurfing capital, with schools a short walk away.
Coral reefs and the Blue Lagoon are reachable by boat trips arranged through the property.
Zanzibar's only national park, home to the red colobus monkey, is an easy day trip inland.
Sandbanks and turquoise shallows a short boat ride from Paje, best visited at low tide.
Half-day tours through nearby plantations growing cloves, vanilla and cinnamon.
Village life, restaurants and cafés fill the five-minute walk into central Paje.
On-site and mobile massage can be booked through the tour desk.
Sunset sails and snorkelling excursions depart directly from Paje Beach.
About Diamond Coast
Diamond Coast started as a plot of land on the quiet edge of Paje and grew slowly around what was already there: the palms, the space, the distance from the road. The four accommodation types were added over time rather than built as one block, which is part of why the grounds still feel more like a garden than a hotel.
The newest addition is the pool — 70,000 litres, set into the lawn as a gathering point for guests staying across all four units.
Far enough from Paje's nightlife strip to guarantee quiet evenings, close enough to walk there in five minutes.
A 7,000 m² plot means space between units — gardens, not corridors, separate one stay from the next.
Kitchenettes, laundry and a calm daily rhythm make Diamond Coast as comfortable in week three as it is on night one.
"I felt at ease from the very first moment. The host was warm and easy to reach, and any small issue was resolved right away — I would book here again without hesitation."Guest review, via Diamond Coast booking channel
