The Palms. I don't know where to begin.

Absolutely fantastic stay over Christmas. We enjoyed every minute of it. This hotel is very quiet, private and secure! The gardens are lush and very well kept and the villas are huge! The manager Siriak and the entire staff are true professionals. Excellent service from everyone during the whole 7 night stay! Can' ask for more, thank you! Can highly recommend the Palms in Zanzibar!

I spent my honeymoon here after a safari and

Could not have had a better experience! Everyone really went out of their way to make it a special experience. Every element of our stay was superb, from the food to the service to the gorgeous setting and room. My husband and I had such a relaxing time. Cannot recommend this beautiful stay enough! We will be returning as soon as possible.

Similar to majority of the "Swahili Coast" our beaches are tidal and the tide timings change with each season. (you may google exact high and low tide timings for your specific stay with us) Low tide is a wonderful opportunity to take a free guided "Reef Safari" and discover some of our wonderful marine life.
