PAJE BY NIGHT

The accommodation was good.

The location is perfect, the instructors were attentive and invested in our progress.

The schedule was flexible to accommodate our needs. We enjoyed the sessions a lot and would love to come back.

Op nog geen 2 minuten lopen van het prachtige strand van Paje staan uberschattige bungalows in het park. Ik had een yoga vakantie geboekt en die was boven verwachting. Malika de docente haalt echt het maximale uit je kunnen en daagt je uit om je grenzen te verkennen met haar kunde. Met name de lieve eigenaren Marieke & Sara zijn geweldige meiden. Ook hulde voor de lieve schoonmaaksters en de jongens in de bediening. Ik kom zeker nog eens terug❤️

I had the best week at Paje by Night. My yoga practice improved in a way I could never have imagined, all thanks to the incredible Carolina !

The staff was super nice and the food very good. Fresh fruits every morning at breakfast and many choices in the menu. I absolutely recommend that place !

I loved the food, the location, the hospitality and flexibility of the hosts. I had a late evening flight and i was allowed to check out just before i was supposed to leave. It really made my day easier. The cost in the restaurant was very good and the food was so delish! If i come back to Zanzibar for a repeat, i would definitely choose Paje by Night😌furthermore, the staff was very nice and helpful🥰 kudos for everything😊

Great place, excellent service, great people.

Everything was great, the staff was very nice and helpful, the hotel was beautiful with a well manicured garden and the food was amazing. Also both yoga and kitesurf courses were great quality.

De yogadocente geeft veel persoonlijke aandacht, is heel geduldig en heeft oog voor detail. Vooral belangrijk bij de ochtendlessen omdat die in het teken staan van Ashtanga vinyasa (Mysore stijl). Als je gewend bent aan een ander soort yoga (zoals bij mij het geval was), dan is dit de ideale plek om hier ook ervaring in op te doen.

Das Paje by night ist ein schönes Hotel mit individuellen Bungalow. Der Garten und die Nähe zum Strand sind fabelhaft. Die Yoga Klassen von Carolina sind auf jede Person abgestimmt, wertschätzend und aufmerksam und die Räumlichkeiten sehr schön. Alles in allem ein zu empfehlendes Retreat.

Ich habe die Stunden sehr genossen. Die Morgenstunden mit Ashtanga waren für mich das Highlight. Karolina hat allgemeine gute Anweisungen für die Figuren gegeben.

Uhrzeiten und Dauer auch ideal.

Hotelpersonal sehr nett, gutes Essen.

This place will allow you to forget all of your cares. It is simple yet very heart-warming and cozy. The people working there are very hospitable and pleasant to deal with. Carolina - the yoga teacher - is simply amazing. I loved having yoga with her.

Food is excellent, staff is very nice and Carolina the yoga teacher is vert patient and qualified.

The hotel is very well located, closed to the beach, village and food corner

Die Lage ist super! Man ist sehr schnell am Strand und kann den Abend Widgeschützt geniessen. Der Yoga - und Kiteboard Unterricht war super. Gutes Essen und der Zimmerservice war äusserst freundlich und machte eine sehr gute Arbeit. Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit.

The people just made this place - friendly, kind, happy. It was also close to the beach and had a wonderful beach bar. Perfect place to make friends with lots of solo travelers.

Great food, incredibly staff. Nice location tucked away from the beach via a short 2 minute walk but also a great location for the hotel and beach shack.

Great yoga teacher. Nice hotel with nice people

I loved the daily Yoga classes led by Carolina, an amazing Yoga teacher. She explained all poses in detail, gave individual feedback and helped all of us to advance. She adapted totally to our wishes.

I liked the atmosphere of the place. Many bungalows located in a beautiful garden with palm trees, apes jumping around, very nice and friendly people.

Very nice room, great location and with Carolina a super yoga teacher!

Carolina is just great! In the morning, everyone practices according to their own breath, so everyone can be in a different stage of the practice. But Carolina always knows where which person is and observes you very well. She adds more if she sees that you can still take it or takes something away if she notices that you are already reaching your limits. She is very empathetic and I think she can really read anyone and knows what they need.

My other highlight was Louis, who works there as the head of the finance department. He was just GREAT! He makes you feel welcome from the very first moment! He always takes the time for a little chat and does everything to make you feel really comfortable! THANK YOU! (As it is not a normal retreat where everyone arrives at the same time it is just cool to have someone like Louis around.)

Not to mention the very nice room, the beautiful garden and the great surroundings. So I just loved my stay!

Not only were the yoga classes of top-notch quality, but it was also soul-enriching. The people at Paje by Night were always helpful and very kind. It was truly an authentic and incredible experience.

The location is in the center of Paje, very well connected for transports and with restaurants and a 24/7 supermarket just in front of it. The rooms are perfectly clean and the staff is very friendly, kind and available to help. I definitely recommend this place and hopefully will be back there soon.

Had an amazing time. Place is simple but i exactly what you need. Carolina Reira, the yoga teacher is excellent. I looked forward to yoga sessions each day. Will definitely go back for more ♥️

The location of Paje by Night is great to discover Zanzibar and also Kite Surf.

The staff is super nice and food is very tasty although sometimes takes time to be ready.

Carolina, the yoga teacher is excellent! She will go beyond to improve your practice and enhance your experience. She is an amazing Yoga teacher; very professional and knowledgeable. She made me discover new love for yoga asthanga and learn more poses. She helped me a lot to align better my poses and to memorise the series while enjoying the practise. I totally recommend her! She is also very friendly and will make your experience at Paje totally worthy.

Amazing teacher, she will push you to give the best and to go through your fears.

Dikla is so understanding, very helpful, and it's amazing to learn yoga with her. She's the best teacher that I had in yoga. Thank you so much !

Die Lage, das Zimmer, die Versorgung, das Personal superfreundlich und hilfsbereit, jederzeit für alles ansprechbar, umsichtig, fürsorglich.

Besonders Dikla, unsere Yogalehrerin ist mega kompetent, einfühlsam, geradeaus, und für alle Fragen offen. Ich habe sie geliebt mit ihrer Art und ihrem Umgang mit Menschen.

Paje by Night is a little oasis on the stunningly beautiful Paje beach. The whole place is well run and clean with super friendly staff and delicious food. I loved the way my bed was decorated with fresh flowers every day and the monkeys playing around in the trees at breakfast were pure entertainment.

I had specifically chosen this hotel because of the yoga classes and I was not disappointed. The intensity of the vinyasa style yoga was very challenging though and so disciplined. I've practiced Hatha yoga for several years but I ached all over after my first session. Dikla is a very demanding and strict teacher, pushing you to your full potential, but she's also full of praise when you achieve it. I learned a lot and improved so much after eight days with her.

I would definitely consider going back to Paje by Night and can highly recommend it for anyone looking for an authentic Zanzibar experience and for those looking for the bonus of a good yoga workout.

my stay at paje by night was wonderful! the resort is very nice and the staff is very friendly. the owners are just great and make a lot of things possible. during the day my favorite place was the beach bar right by the sea.

my highlight were the yoga classes with the teacher dikla. she is a very nice, experienced and disciplined yoga teacher and gives every day her best. i felt very good with her and learned a lot of new things. we did yoga every morning for 1.5 hours and every evening for 1.5 hours, every day except sundays. dikla explains everything you want to know also outside the yoga classes and answers every question. we had a very good time together and i‘m very happy to have met her!

paye by night & the yoga was exactly as i imagined and much better.

Challenging but rewarding yoga with an inspiring and insightful teacher. Beautiful surroundings and location. Breakfasts delicious and healthy. Learning a lot in a short time. Plenty of time to do your own thing.

1. Dicla has a very good asana practise and

2. she is open for all questions all over the day.

Great value for money overall. The food was amazing! Great menu options. The location is not on the beach but perfectly close so you can enjoy the beautiful rainforest type of nature but 2 mins walk to enjoy sunrise & sunset on the beach. I absolutely loved the pool! Colorful & unconventional design but great quality of water well treated! Amazing music playlist at the bar restaurant & pool. Just a very short walk to the local artisanal shops. Wonderfully challenging private yoga session. Dikla is by far the toughest yoga teacher I’ve had but just what I needed to push me to my highest potential. I surprised myself! I loved that housekeeping is done daily & absolutely lovely to come to your clean room for a nap. I left rejuvenated! I’ll def be back!

Tough & loving - Dikla is a fantastic teacher - it is so refreshing to practice with a teacher with deep knowledge on the roots of yoga and providing direct instruction to ensure you are learning and correcting.

If you like a hard practice and want to learn, let Dikla guide and you will leave very content!

All the staff are really lovely, the rooms are just perfect and well kept with flowers on the bed every day!

The food was of good quality - some more local fresh fruits would be good.

The masseuse was excellent!

Thank you for a memorable experience.

Dikla is an amazing instructor. She comes across as very strict and tough at first but it's because she insists on proper alignment and form - which, after all, is to prevent injury. She pushes and encourages you just enough to really move you farther than you expected.

The yoga teacher was really really great :). I would really recommend going there if you already have a regular ashtanga practice - I learnt more in a week than in a year in Berlin. She adapts to all levels so you don't have to be an advanced ashtangi to enjoy it. The food was really better than expected (specially the breakfasts !) and the beach is literally amazing.

Helpful bar staff and friendly guests (fellow yogis and kite surfers). Was easy to make friends. A few metres walk from the beach, the location is stunning.

After visiting paje by night last summer there was no doubt I would go back. This place is magic; the amazing yoga lessons, the friendly staff, the lovely food and the beautiful beach. A perfect place to go for a yoga- and kitesurfing vacation. Thank you so much paje by night, I’ll come visit you again.

The gardens are beautiful, the hammocks and the tree house for my personal practice and massage were incredible!

Loved the yoga lessons!!! Dikla is a great teacher and above all a wonderful person!! Wish I had more time to spend there...I’ll carry her teachings and “tips” for good! Felt I improved my practice in few days thanks to her!!

The atmosphere is amazing! Met and connected to a lot of fun, interesting people from all over the world!!

Accommodation was clean and comfy but a bit dark and noisy sometimes...

Breakfast was delicious every single day!!

Maximiliano was always very kind and helpful!

The beach facility was perfect!!!

Loved every minute at Paje By Night!! Highly recommend!!!

A great place to stay at, short distance to the beach. Nice and clean bungalows, with an extra touch. Nice atmosphere at Paja By Night.

The yoga instructor Dikla made sure you did the different positions correct. She was firm and strict in a very positive way. No questions were irrelevant, and she was reachable all day long. A week of great yoga!

The yoga classes is a true highlight. Dikla is a very experienced and knowledgeable instructor that encouraged me to make remarkable achievements in the postures and fundamentals, but also ensure me not getting injured nor pushing myself too hard. I am glad to have come here and took the classes with improvements in my body and mind that I can apply to my daily life when I am home. A life changing experience that I am truly thankful to have met such a great instructor/teacher/friend for yoga and life. I recommend this retreat to everyone who would like to take steps in improving their yoga experiences.

The yoga lessons were highlight of my vacation. Dikla is the best teacher i ever had. I really recommend!!!

Loved loved the bungalows with the treated mosquito nets and the general layout to give privacy as well as comfort. Loved the facilities in general - quirky, cosy and clean. Location perfect too. Staff were just lovely and welcoming and very helpful when organizing trips etc.

Loved the Yoga with Dikla. Although being a beginner I did find it rather tough at first and she is tough - but that is needed and I am now fully converted!! She has set very high standards that will be very hard to beat!!

Shame Paje is so far away from Europe....

Thanks for all!!

I loved everything:

-In first place the yoga teacher, Dikla, very professional, demanding, attentive, always opened to questions and to give explanations. It was my yoga debuting and I couldn’t ask for more.

- the hotel location is perfect;

-the informal and familiar ambiance,

-Everything is well organised: breakfast, laundry, I had a warm welcoming check-in with Kristine who explained me everything.

- Top quality cleaning. All the staff is so nice and professional.

-I also appreciated the fact that they don’t use plastic bottles.

The yoga, the instructor, the entire resort and staff at Paje by Night are just fantastic, I really can't credit them enough! I was a solo female traveler but never once felt alone, I had a fab week and I look forward to returning!

Some new exercises

I liked Dilkla's teachings.

I had an amazing experience at Paje By Night.

On the day of my arrival, it was already a bliss to discover this beautiful place with coconut trees, plants and flowers everywhere, then the cosy, neat and well-crafted beautiful rooms. I knew I wouldn't regret my choice at first sight, and my feeling confirmed day by day enjoying the pool, the tranquility and quiet environment, and the really good food from Paje by Night restaurant. I even extended my stay for 1 night.

The yoga classes were also an amazing experience.

It was challenging, which I often miss in other yoga retreats. But above all, Dikla changed my perspective on my yoga practise and pushed me to do better.

I was a bit confused at first because Dikla is not here to waste time and classes can seem quite strict at first sight haha, but it was awesome.

Dikla is one of the most committed and dedicated yoga teacher I have ever met.

The focus, the meditation, the breathing, the perfect alignments, the perfect postures, the strength and core muscles, putting your ego aside and accepting your body and your limits, we worked on absolutely everything. For me, this is true yoga, as a whole.

Thanks to Dikla, I came back to a regular practise on my own, which I had put aside these past months. I'm also much more conscious of my body and how I use it, my strength, and how far I can progress.

Dikla, you are truly an inspiration, thank you and thanks to Paje By Night for this blissful stay !

I will definitely come back!

This place is a little paradise. The bungalows are really cute, the restaurant food is excellent, the staff is super kind and the hotel is located just 1min away from a stunning beach.

The yoga teacher, Dikla, is a wonderful teacher and person: very experienced and attentive, willing to make you progress and bring the best out of you... Even when you think you cannot do it, she knows you can haha! And we were always having a lot of fun!

I got hurt at the beginning of the retreat (from a back pain I already had when I arrived) which was really hard for me to accept and I was really frustrated not being able to practice anymore but Dikla has been very supportive and managed to cheer me up with her very kind words. I had the honor to assist her which helped me learn a lot in a different way... So it was not a bad experience in the end!

I highly recommend this retreat and will come back for sure!

Thanks again Claudia and Dikla xxx

Dikla is a wonderful teacher and I learned so much from her in such a short time. She has a huge amount of knowledge about yoga and she’s genuinly interested about the progress of her students. I felt very welcome and motivated from the beginning. The hotel was beautiful, clean and very well kept and the owners were very helpful and friendly. I can highly recommend this place and Dikla’s every time as inspiring classes!

Amazing yoga retreat in Paje. The hotel was lovely, very well located and perfect services. The restaurant at the hotel also was definitely one of the best in the area! But most of all Dikla the yoga teacher was an incredible teacher. All her classes were extremely well taught and she is really gifted to transmit her passion for yoga as well as to take care of her students practice. I felt I really improved my yoga practice after only a week. But most of all, the warm and friendly welcome of Dikla and other people there made my stay amazing! I highly recommend.

endroit paradisiaque

Dikla is a truly talented teacher who intuitively sense her students’ needs. She was inspiring.

Yoga:

The Yoga lessons exceeded my expectations.

Dikla teached my friend and I so many important things which should always be considered whilst practicing.

She also was available for any kind of questions and talks outside of the normal class hours.

My level of understanding, regarding to a variety of Asanas, increased so much more during only one week of yoga practice (three hours each day - Asthanga Vinyasa and Vinyasa Flow) than during the last two years of doing yoga. The classes were quite challenging at times but it was absolutely worth it! My deepest thanks to Dikla and her way of teaching. תּוֹדָה

Rooms:

We booked the concept bungalow and the room size is more than adequate.

A Mosquito net was provided and our room has been sprayed every night.

Sheets and towels were clean and the room was cleaned every morning.

The interior of the concept room is quite nice and the space was more than enough.

Food:

The included Breakfast was delicious and there is a variety of for different options which can be chosen the day ahead in order to reduce wasting food (great idea!). It was quite easy for me to eat gluten-free as well!

The Menu of the restaurant is appropriate and the service (mostly) great.

Location:

Paje by night is located close to the Beach and there is a private beach area at Paje by Kite. The kite surf lessons are done neatly, the staff is fantastic and I loved the beach area with toilets and restaurant very much! Thanks for having us!

Loved the positive attitude of the people And the calm moments in the daytime

Le Yoga pratiqué avec Dikla est remarquablement complémentaire avec le kitesurf. Premièrement, il fait travailler les muscles abdominaux dont on a besoin pour rester gainé et réussir son waterstart. Deuxièmement, Dikla nous fait travailler notre équilibre, si précieux pour tenir sur la planche. Personnellement, j’ai suivi ses cours du soir, ce qui était idéal pour étirer les muscles que j’avais tant crispé pour tirer les premiers bords.

Merci aussi à Maria et Fede, les instructeurs de Kite, pour leurs conseils précis, leur patience, leur grande flexibilité et leur bonne humeur.

Au final, Paje by Night est un super plan: Chambres spacieuses et très propre, Max et Claudia très attentifs au confort des clients, restaurant appétissant et plein de charme à 100 mètres de l’eau turquoise de l’océan indien! Magnifique !

Sehr schöne Anlage in Top-Lage, gutes Essen! Der Strand ist mega, da geht einem das Herz auf! Die Hotel-Crew ist supernett und immer zur Stelle und die Yogastunden bei Dikla waren sehr intensiv und herausfordernd und haben mich wieder ein paar Schritte weitergebracht! Ich war das erste mal als Single unterwegs und habe mich dort sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Also - jederzeit wieder! :-))

Dikla is an amazing teacher taking care of each of her students, providing personalized advice and sharing widely her passion for yoga. Beyond improving my yoga practice, I had to live an enriching personal journey.

Definitely recommend!

Perfect in every way. Wonderful relaxed hotel in lovely grounds, with superb staff and excellent food. Location perfect, especially with 'private' beach bar to complement the hotel: can escape the beach or be part of it but in peace. Yoga teaching wonderful: detailed, thoughtful and ideally balanced.

This yoga retreat was excellent! Dikla is one of the best yoga teachers I have ever had, so dedicated and passionate about her job. I learned so much! The food at the restaurant was very good with a wide range of dishes to choose from. The location was perfect, only a minute walk away from the beautiful beach. I highly recommend this retreat, and would love to go back someday!

This yoga retreat was an amazing experience for me. When you’re at Paje be Night you feel as though you’re part of a family. dikla is a great instructor who taught me many things I never knew about yoga. I also even had the chance to learn kitesurfing. 100% recommend.

The staff was WONDERFUL, the yoga was excellent (Dikla is fantastic and committed to your improvement), the beach is beautiful, the room I was in was absolutely stunning with excellent amenities and the food was excellent!

My time at Paje by night was truly life changing! I am a yoga teacher from London, practising Bikram yoga for nearly 10 years and qualified as a teacher in 2015. As a musician I have also toured to world and practised yoga in many different places on my travels. Nonetheless, the knowledge, depth and joy I experienced with Dikla during her ashtanga classes was breath-taking. She is simply one of the best teachers I have come across on my journey of yoga and I learnt so much about technique, philosophy and ways to overcome challenge (physically/mentally) and build strength in only 8 days!!! It really has changed my life and those of who I will go on to teach for the rest of my life! I came back to London with a refreshed spirit and a new sense of self-belief...Dikla told me the reason she teaches the way she does is because she wants students to be better than her, she is truly selflessness personified and made herself available at any time! As for Paje by night, its in a perfect location the beach is like a bath prepared by God herself! the staff are beautiful, warm people and the owners are really accommodating and friendly. Its clean (this is super important to me), they offer the best pilau rice in my opinion and fresh fruit juice every morning for breakfast. It really is paradise and highly recommended for any beginner, advanced practitioner/teacher who wants to learn more or someone who is curious and just wants a class to start their day. I loved every minute of it!

Dikla is an incredible teacher! Her focus on the details was brilliant and made me feel as ease very quickly. I’m not a morning person but was more than happy to wake up for my 7am yoga session!

The atmosphere in Paje By Night is just lovely, it was hard to leave! I spent 8 days eating healthy, relaxing, doing yoga and enjoying the beautiful wonders of the paradise of Zanzibar. I couldn’t have asked for anything better!

The food in the hotel is great. You do not even need to move from there. The swimming pool clean and safe for kids. Comforts pool side. Very cosy atmosphere. Good service and helpful staff. We will definitely miss the place.

Tout était vraiment époustouflant! Mais c'est surtout la qualité de l'enseignement proposé par Dikla qui nous a profondément bouleversées. C'est une femme d'exception qui propose des cours adaptés à nos besoins et à nos attentes. Elle parvient à transmettre sa passion pour le yoga et à éveiller une conscience du corps et de l'esprit.

The teacher

The accomodation and service

The location

The staff and management at Paje by Night were amazing. Everything was perfect : food and location! Plus I believe we had the best yoga teacher ever !

I stayed at Paje by Night for 12 days and I must admit that everything there exceeded my expectations. The facility is run by Claudia and Max who run the place with a great attention to detail and without ever being intrusive. They do their utmost to make sure you feel welcome and part of the family, if you wish so. They are all very helpful with organising trips, taxi and providing information. The food is delicious - there are four breakfast options to choose from and they are varied as well as generous. The restaurant serves different types of food - from seafood to pizza to steaks and everything is fresh prepared and really tasty.

There is a garden and pool with a whirlpool where you can chill under the palm trees. The yoga classes were taking part on an elevated platform and were fun as well as varied in terms of intensity. There is also a kite school Paje by Kite that is a part of the complex. I stayed in a non-AC bungalow, which was very clean and had a comfortable double bed. I immensely enjoyed my stay at Paje by Night . I took yoga classes with Ilse and loved them. I also cannot wait for Dikla to start her yoga workshops. I'll definitely take part in those.

Cosy atmosphere. Excellent yoga and Nice kite facilities

Ilse, the yoga instructor while I was there, was excellent in every way. Kind, patient, helpful, and funny - I looked forward to every class.

The accommodation itself was lovely, comfortable and luxurious! The staff are kind, and the owners are truly lovely people. The location is right on the beach, and I felt very safe. Breakfast was excellent!
