If you’re looking for palm trees, white sandy beaches, and turquoise waters, then look no further than this villa in Zanzibar. Set right on the eastern coast of the small island floating next to Tanzania, this home sets the bar pretty high for a beachy holiday, starting with the interior. Inside, the pristine white colour palette adds even more dimension to the already flowing space of the large living area, and with all that room to breathe, you’ll find it easy to sink back into the sofa with a fresh cup of coffee. Although minimal, the home also adds some African flair into the mix with native artworks, tapestries, and statement light fixtures. Come together around the dining table for a breakfast prepared by the chef on site, or opt to take it outside where the true magic happens. It’s not just the option to dine alfresco that makes it special outside this home, not when you have a crystalline, private pool, a swing with a view of the beach right on your doorstep, and sunloungers ideal for sunbathing. There’s also a balcony and a rooftop terrace with a hammock that’s the perfect retreat whenever you need a bit of me-time. Spend the day doing as much or as little as you want, and on the odd chance that you run out of things to do at this slice of paradise, you can drive ten minutes to Paje to explore another cranny of this beautiful island.
