The Oasis of Homes
Kilima Villas is Asana Africa's flagship off-plan residential development, set in the heart of Paje on Zanzibar's celebrated east coast — just 800 metres from the Indian Ocean and minutes from the region's finest dining, kite surfing, and reef snorkelling.
Every villa is designed around the rhythms of island life: natural stone walls, open-plan interiors that dissolve into private pool terraces, and gardens lush with tropical planting. Whether you are seeking a premium holiday home, a permanent residence, or a high-performing rental investment, Kilima Villas is built to exceed.
Paje sits on Zanzibar's eastern shore — one of the island's most beloved stretches of coast. Known for its powdery white sand, turquoise shallows, and consistent trade winds, it is Zanzibar's undisputed kite surfing capital and a favourite destination for travellers who prefer beauty and character over resort convention.
The area is well-served by local restaurants, cafés, dive operators, and a growing expat community, making it as liveable as it is visitable.
Kilima Villas brings together contemporary East African architecture and the natural character of the island. Exposed coral stone walls, deep overhanging eaves, ceiling fans, and floor-to-ceiling glazed sliding doors create homes that breathe — cool in the heat, luminous at golden hour, private by design.
Every villa is delivered fully fitted to a premium standard, ready for immediate occupation or rental income generation.
Fully Fitted Specification includes: Premium kitchen with tropical-inspired cabinetry · Fully tiled bathrooms · Fitted wardrobes · Insulated roof with active ventilation · Solar water heater · Split A/C throughout · Ambient lighting throughout · Private pool (1.6m depth) · Landscaped garden. Furniture package available separately.

Kilima Villas is a thoughtfully planned private estate in the heart of Paje. Each villa plot is generous in proportion, with private pool terraces, landscaped gardens, and dedicated parking — all set within a gated perimeter with shared access roads and green corridors.
Phase I villas are fully operational. Phase II plots are now available for reservation.
Kilima Villas sits at the intersection of Zanzibar's rising tourism market, a structurally undersupplied premium villa market, and one of East Africa's most sought-after coastal locations. Owners benefit from strong short-term rental income and meaningful capital appreciation as the island's real estate market continues to mature.




Our construction-linked payment plan is designed to align your capital outflows with development milestones — providing transparency and protecting your investment at every stage of the build.
Asana Africa is a boutique property developer specialising in premium residential and investment-grade villas on Zanzibar's east coast. The Kilima Villas project entered its second phase following the successful completion and handover of the first five operational villas — all of which reached full STR occupancy within weeks of launch and consistently rank among Paje's top-rated properties on Airbnb.
Our philosophy is simple: deliver exceptional properties on time, to specification, in locations that hold and grow their value. We build for owners who care about quality, and investors who care about returns.
A limited number of villas remain available in the current phase. Reservations are secured on a first-come basis with a $5,000 reservation fee. Our team is ready to walk you through available units, floor plans, and the full sales process.
