Demani Lodge is a relaxed, budget-oriented lodge set in a tropical garden with a pool, aimed at backpackers and kitesurfers rather than resort guests. It sits about a kilometre inland from Paje's centre on the road toward Jambiani, a five-minute walk from the beach, and the lodge helps arrange local tours and guides for guests rather than running its own on-site kitesurf school.
What sets it apart
One of the more consistently budget-priced options in Paje's kitesurf hub, with a garden-and-pool setting rather than a bare hostel.
Who it suits
Kitesurfers and backpackers wanting Paje on a tight budget.

About the photographs
The pictures on this page are stock photographs chosen to suggest the kind of setting this property is in. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify exactly where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had stayed there. For pictures of the actual rooms, see the property's own site.
