The Palms is an exclusive, private resort with just seven villas in a personalized and intimate setting; the perfect, romantic getaway. The Palms is a sanctuary for those in search of tranquility, it is a place to stimulate the senses and experience the very best of the Island of Zanzibar. 

Zanzibar, the magical Island where the fusion of Arab, African and European cultures has created a pace of life, a style of cuisine and a colorful tapestry of architecture, heritage, myth and magic that is found nowhere else in the world.

The Palms has seven villas, each over 140 square meters with a bedroom, living room, full en suite bathroom, dressing room, extra room with its own en suite bathroom & large furnished terrace with views of the Indian Ocean. Each villa features a sophisticated interior composition in all colors of coffee and cream where filmy caramel colored curtains billow, dark grained polished floors extend, and the decor is a unique marriage of colonial grandeur and traditional design. On the veranda, a silk-draped four-poster Zanzibar Bed accents a sunken, midnight blue plunge pool with long views of the Indian Ocean.

At The Palms, the culinary team has devised a menu that reflects the magical mélange of Arabic, Indian, Persian, Asian and Swahili flavors that epitomize traditional Zanzibari cuisine. They also showcase the best of the island’s locally grown produce and, because the menu changes every day, they’re able to portray every facet of the Spice Isle’s ancient heritage. The extensive menu also features the Chef’s presentation of a range of continental dishes and, of course, the team will also be delighted to incorporate any dietary preferences you may express.
