A new kind of
island living

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.

Located in Paje,
the Land of Breeze

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.
