The Space

El’s Homes – Paje Garden One-Bedroom is a small but thoughtfully designed self-contained apartment located on the ground floor of a two-storey, mansion-style house within a spacious gated compound filled with trees and greenery.

The apartment includes:

A separate bedroom with a comfortable bed, air conditioning, and mosquito net

A living room with seating, air conditioning, and a kitchenette

A private bathroom with a hot shower

The décor is light, simple, and beach-inspired, with natural textures, neutral tones, and subtle coastal touches that reflect Paje’s relaxed atmosphere.

This apartment is especially well suited for:

Solo travellers

Couples

Remote workers looking for a quiet base near the beach

The compound has a peaceful, local feel, with birds, greenery, and open space, away from the noise of the main road and busy nightlife areas.

Location

The apartment is located in Paje, on Zanzibar’s southeast coast, an area known for its long white-sand beach, turquoise lagoon, and world-class kitesurfing.

Paje is one of Zanzibar’s best-known beach destinations, popular for its steady winds, reef-protected lagoon, and laid-back atmosphere. Along the beach, you’ll find kite schools, cafés, bars, restaurants, and small shops, while the village itself still keeps a more traditional Swahili feel.

From the apartment, Paje Beach is just a 15-minute walk or 5-minute drive away, with easy access by tuk-tuk or boda as well. You can enjoy the energy of the beach during the day, then return to the calm of the garden in the evening.

Guests have exclusive use of:

The entire 1-bedroom apartment

Its private entrance

You’re also welcome to enjoy the shared compound and its open green space, while respecting the privacy of other residents.

Parking and Extras

The apartment runs normally on grid power. In the event of an outage, a generator can be switched on for $1 per hour. Power cuts are generally infrequent and usually do not last more than half a day.
