Hakuna Majiwe Beach Lodge offers 20 beach bungalows with ocean views, air conditioning, mosquito nets, and in-room safes, spread along a quiet palm-fringed beach in Paje. The Tradewinds restaurant serves Swahili-Zanzibari cuisine prepared with locally sourced ingredients, paired with wines and juices. Guests can snorkel among coral reefs with over 350 fish species, spot dolphins in Kizimkazi village, or visit the Jozani Forest Reserve, home to the rare Red Colobus Monkey. The lodge features an expansive palm-lined pool frequented by wildlife and provides access to kite surfing schools. A meal at the restaurant includes views of the Indian Ocean, and private dining can be arranged by the beach or pool.
