The Palms Zanzibar

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 loungers to provide intimate beachfront privacy. The Palms also features a spa in a beautiful setting. Guests at The Palms can also use the neighboring frangipani Spa, which offers world-class treatments and facilities. Other neighboring facilities include a fitness centre, floodlit tennis court, marine activities centre with windsurfing and snorkeling. A fully equipped and licensed scuba diving centre is available at a charge which is payable locally.

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 colors of coffee and cream where filmy caramel colored 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 Jacuzzi with long views of the Indian Ocean.

In this beautiful setting, reflecting a sophisticated Swahili style enhanced with candlelight and spice scented aromas, you can enjoy a variety of treatments and therapies, all aimed at relieving the negative impacts of a modern lifestyle such as stress & exhaustion. The international team of professional therapists offers a wide variety of facial, body and hand & foot treatments, as well as specialized massage techniques. The Frangipani Spa also offers The Kili Foot Treatment and Apres Safari Treatment, which are specially designed packages by experts to soothe and rejuvenate after the dust and bumpy roads of the African Bush. An excellent option for those who are looking to recover after an adventure filled safari.

A fusion of cultures in Zanzibar has resulted in a unique cuisine, which blends exotic spices, fruits and flavors of the island. The chefs have an exotic menu fusing just caught with fresh picked 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 colored silks to crisp white linens.

Zanzibar has an international airport with airlines like Kenya Airways providing direct international connections on a scheduled basis. From Europe, the principal carrier to Zanzibar is Kenya Airways stopping over at Nairobi. From South Africa, South African Airlines now flies twice weekly direct from Johannesburg to Zanzibar, and though it’s partnership with Air Tanzania, is able to offer many more connecting routes. The Palms would be happy to make the domestic arrangements such as domestic flights to and from Dar es Salaam and Arusha.
