Tamu House Paje

"Tamu" comes from Swahili, Tanzania’s national language, meaning sweet, charming, and cozy

Feel Like Home

Tamu House Paje is a small, personal guesthouse right in the vibrant coastal village of Paje, one of Zanzibar's most beloved beach destinations. Designed with a blend of Swahili character and contemporary simplicity, the house offers a relaxed and home-like atmosphere ideal for couples, friends, and independent travelers.

Located just a short 5-10 minute walk from the famous Paje Beach, the guesthouse places you close to world-class kitesurfing spots, local cafés, and a lively yet laid-back community. The central location means restaurants, shops, and attractions are all within easy reach.

The House is also well suited for longer stays, offering an affordable base for remote workers, interns, volunteers, and slow travelers looking to experience Zanzibar beyond a short holiday.
