ENVI Paje
Where longevity meets leisure on Zanzibar’s iconic Paje Beach.
Nestled on the soft white sands of Paje, ENVI Paje is a barefoot luxury sanctuary with the Indian Ocean at its doorstep. Twenty-two design-led villas — fifteen with their own private pools — are set among tropical gardens that open onto a calm, reef-protected lagoon.
The heart of the experience is restoration. Bespoke wellness journeys, signature treatments and nutrition rituals are guided by private consultations and biomarker testing at The Sanctuary, while FLÕ Restaurant serves nourishment-focused cuisine designed to leave you feeling lighter and more energised.
Guests arrive to rebalance and leave with a renewed zest for life — whether that means sunrise yoga on the sandbanks, an afternoon kitesurfing the trade winds or a private chef-led barbecue on your villa terrace. It is the perfect beach finale to a Tanzania safari.

Stay at ENVI Paje
ENVI Paje sits on one of Zanzibar’s most celebrated beaches on the island’s south-east coast, about an hour by road from Abeid Amani Karume International Airport. Life here moves to the rhythm of the tides: a calm lagoon protected by an offshore reef, soft white sand with no rocks or coral at the water’s edge, and a gentle slope into warm water that sits between 25°C and 29°C all year.
Days begin in The Pavilion, the airy welcome lounge, and unfold between the pool deck, The Gardens and Beach Commons. Evenings bring the built-in fire pit and lounge, an outdoor cinema under the stars and long, unhurried dinners at FLÕ.
Lodge Facilities
