Set in sprawling grounds, White Sand overlooks pristine Paje beach and the Indian Ocean and is a fascinating architectural blend of European concrete modernism and traditional African techniques – handrails and canopies are made of whole, irregular tree trunks and branches. The central complex is built around a cavernous dining room with a champagne bar on the roof and a terrace overlooking two oval swimming pools separated by a bridge that looks like it was inspired by a Japanese woodcut. There’s a wind turbine, solar panels and a fruit and veg garden.
