Envi Lodges has announced the upcoming opening of Envi Paje, a beachfront hideaway on the shores of Zanzibar, Tanzania.
Opening in June 2026 on Paje Beach, Envi Paje marks Envi Lodges’ third property in Tanzania, further expanding the brand’s presence across East Africa.
The lodge features 22 spacious private villas, each blending sustainable materials with Zanzibar’s natural textures and craftsmanship. Thoughtfully designed with an emphasis on light, space and tranquillity, every villa includes a private terrace and interiors finished with hand-crafted local artistry.
Minimalist yet warm, the design invites a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape, with framed ocean views and quiet corners for reading and reflection.
The Signature Ocean Villas elevate the experience with semi-outdoor private pools and uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean, encapsulating the essence of barefoot luxury and simple wellbeing.
Designed with simplicity in mind, the lodge fosters a naturally restorative atmosphere, and integrates a variety of gentle wellness activities from beachfront yoga to spa rituals with nature-inspired treatments. With nutritious-conscious meals and a special mixology bar offering naturally immune-supporting beverages, guests can fully embrace mindful living and holistic wellbeing.
Aligned with Envi’s commitment to sustainability and community, the property partners closely with local artisans, creators and suppliers, ensuring that every stay contributes to the cultural and environmental richness of Zanzibar.
“Envi Paje represents an important milestone in our growth,” says Noelle Homsy, Co-founder of Envi Lodges. “It reflects our ongoing commitment to creating meaningful travel experiences that are both thoughtfully designed and deeply connected to their surroundings.”
Paul Jordaan, Executive Director of Envi Lodges, adds: “Envi Paje is about returning to what matters most. It offers a beautiful, peaceful environment where guests can disconnect from the noise and reconnect – to nature, to each other or to their own sense of clarity and calm. Zanzibar is a place of incredible energy and culture, and Envi Paje captures that spirit in a thoughtful, contemporary way.”
