Paje Beach

Drifters Zanzibar

Drifters is a budget, beachfront hostel with a pool and a bar, about US$54 a night and rated 8.2/10. It's the social, backpacker end of Paje rather than a quiet retreat, and rooms are simple. Handy for kitesurfers and anyone who wants the beach and a cold beer without the resort price.
