Summer Beach
About
Summer Beach, on Zanzibar, sits in Paje, Tanzania, on the island's south-eastern coast. First-time visitors should expect a beachfront hotel base rather than a town-centre address, with the Indian Ocean on the doorstep and the village within walking distance. Rooms open onto a stretch of coast known for its tides and kitesurfing conditions.
Guests have scored Summer Beach 4.5 out of 5 across 327 reviews, a record that reflects steady satisfaction among past visitors. The hotel's website, http://summerbeachpaje.com/, carries further detail for anyone planning a stay.
Paje sits south of Bwejuu and Jambiani, and north of the route back towards Stone Town, so the hotel works as a base for exploring the island's east coast. Nungwi and Kendwa lie at the northern tip, reachable by road across the island.
Pilau, biryani, urojo soup and octopus stew are common dishes on both islands, and the coastal cooking of Zanzibar leans on rice, coconut milk, seafood and spices. Taarab music, with orchestras and sung poetry, originated on the Swahili coast and remains popular on both islands.
