THE PALMS, ZANZIBAR

THE NOBU VIEW

The stay

A seven-villa, all-inclusive retreat on Zanzibar’s southeast coast, with private plunge pools, generously furnished terraces and shaded beachfront bandas. The Palms normally welcomes guests aged sixteen and over. Its small scale suits couples who want generous living space and an unhurried beach stay with character.

The Palms is a seven-villa retreat on Zanzibar’s southeast coast, with an all-inclusive approach and a scale that makes the accommodation itself the focus of the stay. Timber furniture, thatched roofs and tropical gardens give the property a settled island character. Each villa has a private plunge pool, and a furnished terrace creates another place to spend a slow afternoon with the sea nearby.

The villa layout includes a bedroom, living room, dressing space and an additional room with its own bathroom. Private beachfront bandas add shaded places to settle beside the sand.

Meals and selected house drinks are included, with a dining room, evening bar and pool bar on site. Some fitness, tennis and spa facilities are at neighbouring properties, rather than inside this small resort. The normal minimum guest age is 16, making The Palms particularly suitable for couples and older travellers seeking a small coastal retreat. Different child arrangements are possible only when the entire property is booked exclusively.
