The Palms is a small Zanzibar beach retreat with seven villas on the Bwejuu coastline.
Couples wanting a small villa property and personal atmosphere rather than a large resort with many room blocks. The east coast is tidal, and current minimum-age rules should be checked. Villa privacy and pool details need to suit your expectations rather than being judged only from a wide beach photograph.

Accommodation
The Palms has seven villas, each with more than 140 square metres of living space, a bedroom, separate living area, bathroom, terrace and private plunge pool. The small collection gives the stay a more intimate atmosphere than a large resort. It is an adults-only property; the villa layout and current minimum age should suit everyone travelling.
Food & drink
The hotel offers a personalised dining style with seafood, local flavours and international dishes, served in the main restaurant or in more private settings when arranged. We confirm the meal plan and any dietary needs before travel so the beach portion of the journey feels straightforward.
What to do
Days centre on the beach and pool, with spa treatments and water-based activities available through the wider resort facilities. Tides and wind on the south-east coast vary by season and time of day. We discuss swimming expectations and the time of year before suggesting this side of the island.
Planning your stay
Choose The Palms for a quiet, small-property beach stay after safari. Leave time to enjoy the villa and beach, with any excursions arranged around your preference for a restful pace.
