Castle Residence is a modern residential development located in one of Zanzibar’s most sought-after coastal areas. The project features a curated mix of studios and 1–2 bedroom apartments, designed for both lifestyle buyers and investors seeking quality construction, functional layouts and solid rental appeal.
Set in a quiet residential environment just 180 meters from the beach, Castle Residence combines privacy, everyday comfort and close proximity to one of the island’s most iconic shorelines, making it suitable for both personal use and short-term rental strategies.
Castle Residence represents a new generation of residential projects in Zanzibar, combining contemporary design, efficient layouts and a strategic coastal location. Situated in Paje, one of the island’s most vibrant and internationally recognized beach destinations, the project responds to growing demand for well-designed properties suited for both personal use and rental income.
The development offers a mix of studios and 1–2 bedroom apartments, allowing buyers to choose between compact, efficient units and more spacious solutions with separate bedrooms. All apartments are designed with open-plan living areas, natural light and private outdoor spaces, ensuring comfort in a tropical environment.
One of the project’s key strengths is its proximity to the beach, reachable in just a short walk, while remaining set back from the most crowded beachfront zones. This balance makes Castle Residence particularly attractive for residents seeking tranquility without sacrificing access to the sea, beach clubs and local amenities.
Paje has emerged as one of Zanzibar’s most dynamic coastal micro-markets, where lifestyle appeal meets solid investment fundamentals.
Demand is increasingly international: Italy remains a strong reference market, complemented by growing interest from leading European countries including Germany and the United Kingdom. Interest is also expanding beyond Europe, with buyers from the United States and the Middle East beginning to view Paje as a strategic entry point into Zanzibar’s real estate market.
With competitive entry prices, a limited supply of quality residential projects and strong tourism fundamentals, Castle Residence positions itself as a solid opportunity for lifestyle buyers and investors looking for exposure to one of East Africa’s most promising coastal markets.

Paje and Jambiani are among Zanzibar’s most sought-after east-coast beach areas, renowned for powder-white sand, turquoise lagoon waters, a vibrant kitesurf culture and an easy, walkable lifestyle that consistently attracts international visitors and long-stay buyers.
Located along Zanzibar’s East Coast, Paje and Jambiani offer a rare balance between natural beauty and everyday livability. The area combines expansive beaches and calm lagoons with a steadily growing ecosystem of cafés, beach clubs, water-sports centers, wellness spaces and essential local services, making it practical not only for holidays but also for extended stays and second-home living.
What truly distinguishes this coastal corridor is its ability to align lifestyle appeal with solid investment fundamentals. Demand is driven by a broad international audience, including European buyers (Italy, the UK, Germany and other key markets) as well as increasing interest from the Middle East and Gulf region, where buyers often seek beachfront or near-beach residences suitable for both personal use and short-term rental income.
From a real-estate perspective, location remains the primary value driver. Being positioned between Paje and Jambiani enhances access to restaurants, experiences and daily services, while keeping the beach lifestyle central. In this context, properties located close to the shoreline and designed with a focus on comfort, privacy and low-maintenance ownership tend to be easier to rent, more attractive to international guests, and more resilient over time.
Zanzibar is one of the most attractive emerging real estate and lifestyle destinations in the Indian Ocean. Known for its white-sand beaches, warm climate and distinctive Swahili culture, the island combines strong tourism growth with rising international demand for high-quality residential and hospitality projects.
Supported by political stability and rapidly improving infrastructure, Zanzibar is increasingly perceived not only as a holiday destination, but as a strategic location for second homes and long-term real estate investments.
Over the past five years, Zanzibar has experienced exceptional growth in international tourism, with 2024 and 2025 marking record numbers of arrivals. Italy remains one of the island’s leading source markets, confirming Zanzibar’s strong appeal among European lifestyle buyers and long-stay travelers.
At the same time, interest has expanded across other European countries—particularly Germany and the United Kingdom—as well as the Middle East and Gulf region, where buyers are increasingly drawn to beachfront lifestyle assets and boutique hospitality concepts.
This shift has reinforced demand for villas, serviced residences and well-designed boutique developments, rather than short, purely seasonal tourism. As a result, rental dynamics have become more stable and increasingly oriented toward medium- and long-term stays.
The East Coast of Zanzibar, especially areas such as Jambiani and Bwejuu, has emerged as one of the most sought-after zones for new developments. Here, unspoiled beaches, a relaxed atmosphere and a growing network of services create an ideal balance for both lifestyle use and rental income.
From an investment perspective, Zanzibar benefits from competitive entry prices, lower acquisition and construction costs compared to mature European markets, and solid capital appreciation potential supported by limited coastal land availability and a steadily expanding international buyer base.
Beyond numbers, Zanzibar represents a true lifestyle choice—a destination offering natural beauty, cultural authenticity and year-round appeal. For lifestyle buyers, it is a place to live, not just visit. For investors, it is a market where tourism demand, real estate development and long-term growth converge, making location, project quality and local expertise the true drivers of value.
