Amani Boutique Hotel

At Amani Boutique Hotel in Zanzibar, the day starts - and ends - with the Indian Ocean. Set on Paje Beach, one of the finest stretches of sand on the island, Amani is all about laid-back luxury and puts the warm, tropical water centre-stage. Step into the hotel and the tone is set: you’ll find hand-carved mirrors and traditional textiles framing the biggest draw – that view of the horizon.

Amani Boutique’s handful of bedrooms are individually and thoughtfully decorated in light and airy colours. Private balconies are made for relaxing and soaking in views of the gardens or sea. You can spend your days flitting between pool and ocean, ocean and pool. Nights, meanwhile, begin and end at your table just steps from the shore where you can sample Zanzibari cuisine to the sound of the waves.

Paje Beach is known for its tranquil atmosphere, so those happy to ‘beach and chill’ will feel right at home. If you want to kick things up a notch, conditions are usually perfect for kitesurfing, scuba diving, and dolphin spotting. And Zanzibar’s atmospheric capital Stone Town offers spice markets and labyrinthine alleys with carved doorways. Just don’t forget your camera.
