A pretty Zanzibari hideaway, The Palms Zanzibar is a small and intimate property that is the perfect escape from the outside world. Surrounded by tropical gardens and set on the beautiful southeast coast, the adults-only hotel is a favorite with honeymooners or couples simply wishing to enjoy a secluded beachfront retreat. A fusion of European, African, and Arabian influence, the property readily embraces its heritage to add a pleasing layer of authenticity to a stay here.
A small property, The Palms has only 7 villas, each over 140 square meters with a living room, full en suite bathroom, and large furnished terrace with amazing views of the Indian Ocean. The décor is a unique marriage of colonial grandeur and traditional design. On the veranda, a silk-draped four-poster Zanzibar Bed accents a private plunge pool. The main area of the lodge has a bar-restaurant, main pool area, and the postcard-perfect beach - acknowledged as one of the most beautiful in the world. The hotel is all-inclusive with excellent meals including freshly caught fish and seafood cooked in local spices. Your villa will come with a private seafront ‘banda’ with waiter service and sun loungers. For the spa, gym and tennis court you can head next door to the sister property Breezes. The close-by Water Club offers a range of water sports, including kite-sailing, kayaking, and paddle boarding.
Special offers: Book for 5 nights and only pay for 4 nights. Early booking offer: Book 5 months in advance and receive a 10% discount on your accommodation. Honeymoon offer: Book for 7 nights and only pay for 5 nights. These offers are valid until 19 December 2024, excluding July and August. Terms and conditions apply.

Honeymoon to The Palms Zanzibar
A truly special stay at The Palms, and with only 7 villas, it’s really nice to have almost exclusive access the whole time. You get to know the fantastic staff quite well and we had no complaints whatsoever. The food Was amazing and they will always tailor food to what you want if you don’t want so…
