Opening onto a panorama of soft white sand and crystal blue ocean, The Palms in Zanzibar resides along Bwejuu Beach; creating a dreamy setting for romance. Immerse your senses in the bright colours and diverse textures of the coral reef before succumbing to the soothing lullaby of the sea. 

About The Palms

The blend of Arab, African, and European cultures gives Zanzibar a unique flavour, making it a spectacular retreat imbued with otherworldly beauty. Sip from a freshly cut coconut under the shade of a palm tree as you gaze upon the majestic waves. Savour each sound, taste, touch and sight with a romantic, candlelit dinner on the beach, and let the day draw to close enveloped by the muted tones and delicate fabrics of your sumptuous villa.
