We arrived in Zanzibar just after midnight and it was still 30 degrees outside. After a glorious air-conditioned drive of about 2.5 hours, we arrived at the hotel White Sands Luxury Hotel with staff who waited for our arrival and served us snacks. We booked one of the rooms with a private pool. It had a big room, a small area with fridge and shelves, bathroom (shower only) and one smaller bedroom. Air conditioning was in good working order, something you can really use over there! The private pool was bliss, especially for our 1-year-old who couldn't get enough of it.

The walk to the beach took about 2 minutes with a nicely paved pathway and an outdoor shower just outside our Villa. They have kids’ activities at the little play area next to the restaurant, there is also a well-maintained vegetable garden, beautiful flowers, lots of birds and the occasional big lizard crawling around.
The food at the main hotel restaurant was good and is served next to the pool with some dancers/singers entertaining you. The lunch at the beach restaurant was lovely and the setting is amazing. The roof top bar offers cocktails which can be enjoyed at sunset with beautiful views. Paje beach is very nice. Not too busy, beautiful white sand.

We spent 7 days at White Sand Luxury Villas with our children. The hotel is impeccable; its setting and the way the rooms and villas are placed in between gardens give them a lot of privacy without feeling completely isolated. In terms of cleanliness, you have staff members coming in twice a day check your room and replace anything that needs to be changed and prepare the beds for the evening with the mosquito nets. The staff members always have a smile on their faces and will literally do anything possible help you and make you feel at home. The children loved the hotel. They have the facilities for entrain children and it is simply paradise for the whole family. We enjoyed a massage which was also a nice bonus together with the gym facilities which are in a very good condition. I would recommend this hotel with my eyes closed. We will definitely return.

I arrived at White Sands completely exhausted after a long journey. The staff were extremely welcoming and kind, making sure that during our stay I got everything I wanted. The room was more than I could have imagined like the rest of the hotel. A luxury yet simple, natural resort, you get the feeling that nature, the beach, the flowers, the trees have become one with the spacious rooms. With me staying over Christmas. The Hotel Management made sure that every day I got a little surprise present! The beach is just a few steps from my room and had amazing blue waters which I enjoyed relaxing in each day. I am DEFINITELY coming back. When visiting don't forget to enjoy a treatment at the Spa. Thank you for a fabulous holiday.
