Paje Beach
Mr. Kahawa is a beachfront boutique hotel on Paje with ocean-view lofts and garden suites, a pool, spa and a well-known café-restaurant. It sits about ninety seconds from Kite Centre Zanzibar, which shares its founders, so guests get a bundled kite-and-stay deal with gear storage and a rinse station at the school.
Also a kite schoolZanzibar's kite heart is Paje, a wide white-sand beach on the island's south-east coast where a shallow turquoise lagoon empties and fills with the tide. At low to mid tide the lagoon turns into an enormous flat, waist-deep playground, and two reliable trade-wind seasons plus a buzzing village of schools and beach bars have made it one of the most popular kite-travel spots in the world.
