The Palms Zanzibar is an ultra-intimate five-star all-inclusive retreat on Bwejuu Beach, limited to just seven private villas. Blending Swahili, Arabic and colonial influences with handcrafted furnishings, it is built for one purpose: quiet, grown-up romance on one of Zanzibar's finest stretches of white sand. ## Where Is The Plams Zanzibar & What Wildlife Can You See? The resort lies on Bwejuu Beach on Zanzibar's southeast coast, about 50 km — roughly an hour to 75 minutes by road — from Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, with private transfers crossing the island's spice-farm interior. Rather than big game, the setting delivers Indian Ocean experiences: snorkelling and scuba diving on the outer reef, kitesurfing on the Paje–Bwejuu lagoon, reef walking at low tide, dhow sailing cruises and spice-plantation excursions inland. ## Rooms & Style Each of the 7 villas has a king-size bed, en-suite bathroom, private plunge pool, outdoor lounge and terrace, plus a private thatched beach cabana on the sand. Dining is strictly all-inclusive fine dining, with seafood-led menus, private beach dinners and a spa completing the picture. A gym, infinity pool and sundeck serve the whole property, yet with only seven villas these shared spaces rarely host more than a handful of guests at once. ## Who Is It Ideal For? - Honeymooners and couples seeking near-total privacy - Post-safari travellers ending a Kenya or Tanzania circuit in comfort - Guests who prefer all-inclusive certainty at a premium level - Divers and kitesurfers wanting the southeast coast lagoon on the doorstep ## Pairs Well With As a beach finale, The Palms works beautifully after a safari: browse the wider [Zanzibar](/tanzania/zanzibar) guide, or combine bush and beach on the [9-day Kenya and Zanzibar](/safaris/9-days-kenya-and-zanzibar) itinerary. ## Frequently asked questions ### How many villas does The Plams Zanzibar have?
