White Sand is the unlikely and brilliant marriage of two worlds: Relais & Châteaux luxury — eleven villas with private pools, gardens and butlers — set directly behind Paje, East Africa’s kitesurfing capital. The resort runs its own professional kite center, so you can learn or ride world-class flats and be back at a fine-dining table by sunset.
Even for non-kiters, Paje’s mile-wide white sand at low tide is a spectacle, and the villas are among the most private on the island. It is the choice for travelers who want their beach finish to have a pulse.

— Evance & JenniferYou never pay more than booking direct — usually less. And everything around your stay is handled.
As a trade partner we access preferred rates and seasonal offers the resort doesn’t always publish — you’ll never pay more than booking direct. And a resort can only sell you its own rooms; we build the journey around it: international flights, the safari before, and every transfer in between.
A private car waiting at the airport, flights timed from the Serengeti or Kilimanjaro, and a meet-and-greet at every step. Book direct and the gaps become your problem; book with us and there are none.
We know the kite seasons (roughly June–September and December–February), which villas sit closest to the sand, and how to build lesson days into a honeymoon without hijacking it.
A missed flight, a weather delay, a change of heart mid-trip — you contact one person, and we re-arrange everything behind the scenes. The resort looks after you on property; we look after the whole journey.
Epic luxury safaris and just magical. I was referred by a friend in the USA — Evance customized our trip beautifully, the accommodation was first class and our guide so professional. Will definitely be back.

4–5 nights if you’re kiting; 3 otherwise.
The classic finish: safari first, then a 90-minute flight from the Serengeti or Arusha to the island.
