The Palms Zanzibar’s most exclusive, private resort with just seven villas in a personalized and intimate setting…. the perfect, romantic getaway. The Palms Zanzibar is a sanctuary for those searching for tranquillity…a place to stimulate the senses and experience the best of the Island of Zanzibar. Zanzibar is the magical Island where the fusion of Arab, African and European cultures has created a pace of life, a style of cuisine and a colourful tapestry of architecture, heritage, myth and magic found nowhere else in the world. This boutique property on Zanzibar’s untouched, tranquil South Eastern coast combines effortless elegance with Zanzibari sophistication. This collection of seven beautifully designed villas offers luxurious comforts and amenities with personal attention throughout your stay. Each villa features a sophisticated interior composition of hand-carved furniture and beautiful fabrics, where dark-grained wood floors extend, and the decor is a unique marriage of colonial grandeur and traditional design. The Palms provide a range of beautifully appointed facilities reflecting the warmth and character of the local architecture. The elegant collonaded terrace of The Plantation House leads into a spice-inspired bar and onto an antique sleek dining room where fabrics change daily from rust-coloured silks to crisp white linens. An exotic cuisine is creatively presented, reflecting the spices and flavours of the Island, fusing just caught with freshly picked. Overlooking our award-winning Bwejuu – Paje beach (chosen by Conde Nast Traveller magazine as one of the top 30 beaches in the world), private thatched “bandas” shelter private day beds and loungers to provide intimate beachfront privacy. The beachfront Sanctuary Spa offers a selection of world-class treatments designed to stimulate your senses and rejuvenate your soul. The Palms Zanzibar is an oasis…where rustling coconut palms, white powder sand, and the warm waves of the Indian Ocean combine to create a stunning recluse for the discerning traveller. We welcome all guests who are over the age of sixteen at the hotel.
