SBH Monica Zanzibar
SBH Monica Zanzibar is a 5-star, adults-only, all-inclusive resort directly on Paje Beach, on Zanzibarโs south-east coast. Surrounded by tropical gardens and overlooking the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, the resort combines modern comfort with island-style design, and is part of the Spanish SBH Hotels & Resorts group, which also operates SBH Kilindini Resort on Zanzibarโs north-east coast.
Rooms
Rooms are spacious and decorated in an island style that blends local character with modern comfort. Deluxe Double Rooms offer either two canopy twin beds or a king-size bed, all with mosquito nets, air conditioning, satellite TV, a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, and a furnished private terrace. Junior Suites add extra space with an ambience inspired by traditional Zanzibari architecture. Rooms are positioned away from the main common areas for a quieter stay.
Facilities and Dining
The All-Inclusive package covers a restaurant, beach bar, and a year-round outdoor swimming pool, along with a spa offering massages and treatments. The resort runs a dedicated kitesurfing school with lessons and equipment rental, taking advantage of Pajeโs consistent winds, alongside evening entertainment programmes.
Location
The resort sits directly on Paje Beach, renowned for its powdery white sand and turquoise water, close to Paje village and within reach of Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park.

SBH Monica Zanzibarโs all-inclusive, adults-only format on Paje Beach gives it a clear niche distinct from the family-oriented Paje Beach Apartments & Hotel nearby โ a quieter, couples-focused resort with a full spa, dedicated kitesurfing school, and rooms positioned away from common areas for privacy. As the sister property to SBH Kilindini Resort on the islandโs north-east coast, it brings the same SBH all-inclusive standard to one of Zanzibarโs premier kitesurfing beaches.โ The SafariBando team
