Located on the peaceful south-eastern coast of the island, lying on an untouched beach, “The Palms” is the ultimate getaway retreat providing a stunning recluse for the discerning traveller. The six private villas are beautifully designed creating an atmosphere of relaxed, understated elegance. It offers all the luxurious comforts and amenities of a five-star resort in an intimate setting with the most personal attention throughout the guests stay.
The Palms has six villas, each over 140 square meters with a bedroom, living room, full en suite bathroom, dressing room, extra room with it’s own en suite bathroom & large furnished terrace with views of the Indian Ocean. Each villa features a sophisticated interior composition in all colours of coffee and cream where filmy caramel coloured curtains billow, dark grained polished floors extend and the décor 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.
A fusion of cultures in Zanzibar has resulted in a unique cuisine, which blends exotic spices, fruits and flavours of the island. The Palms chefs have created an exotic menu fusing freshly picked ingredients for a wonderful dining experience. The elegant colonnaded terrace of The Plantation House leads into the Spice inspired bar, onto the antique-elegant dining room where fabrics change daily from rust coloured silks to crisp white linens.
Nestled between tropical gardens and a white sandy beach, The Palms provides a range of beautifully appointed facilities reflecting the warmth and character of the local architecture in an elegant yet relaxed setting. Overlooking the beach, private palm thatched “bandas” shelter private day beds and carved sun lounges to provide intimate beachfront privacy.
The Palms also features a spa in a beautiful setting. Guests at The Palms can also use the neighbouring Frangipani Spa, which offers world-class treatments and facilities. Other neighbouring facilities include a fitness centre, floodlit tennis court, The Water Club, located on the beach front featuring a great selection of new equipment and offering instruction in wind surfing, kite surfing and sailing and a fully equipped and licensed scuba diving centre which is available at a charge which is payable locally.
Rising Sun Dive Centre, the only National Geographic and PADI 5šGold Palm resort in East Africa is situated onsite and is always keen to take new and experienced divers to “discover the unexplored” reefs of this magical island.
