The Palms Zanzibar sits adjacent to its sister property Baraza and represents an elevated tier of exclusivity available to only six fortunate groups of guests at any one time. With just six magnificent two-storey villas, this extraordinary retreat redefines private luxury on the Swahili Coast. Each villa is a palatial self-contained world: a vast living room, a private dining area, a rooftop terrace, a private infinity pool gazing out over the Indian Ocean, and a dedicated personal butler available around the clock. The villa interiors are richly adorned with antique furnishings, hand-stitched textiles, and ornate Zanzibar artwork that reflects centuries of Swahili, Omani, and Portuguese cultural fusion. Guests at The Palms enjoy complete access to all facilities of Baraza Resort next door — including the award-winning Frangipani Spa, PADI dive centre, and full activity programme — while returning each evening to the absolute seclusion and indulgence of their personal ocean-view villa.
