Zanzibar and Pemba lie in the Indian Ocean, roughly 600 kilometres south of
the Equator and around 40 kilometres off the Tanzanian coast. During the last
century, these lush green islands were centres for the spice trade. Nowadays
most of the population makes a living from tropical agriculture and fishing.
The Palm is located on Zanzibar's east coast. The entire coastline is
dominated by white-sanded palm beaches. The airport is approximately an
hour's drive away, while a short trip brings you to the small town of Bwejuu.
Rooms/Accommodation:
This newly built 5-star complex has 6 luxuriously appointed villas, each
facing the seemingly endless, sparkling-white sandy beach of Bwejuu.
As well as a large double-bed room, the Villas have a comfortable living room,
a large bathroom with separate WC, a dressing room, a extra room with its own
shower and WC, and a large and cosily furnished veranda terrace with a view
of the Indian Ocean.
To make life even more comfortable, there is a jacuzzi on the terrace of each
Villa, and all of the rooms are climate-controlled. The Villas are
additionally equipped with minibars and coffee machines, satellite TV,
safety-deposit boxes and telephones.
Activities:
At the nearby Breezes Beach Club, guests can make use of the spa and fitness
centre and the floodlit tennis court, go snorkelling or windsurfing, or hire
pedal-boats, canoes and bicycles. There is also a fully equipped diving
centre that offers diving courses and boat tours to a variety of fabulous
diving areas. Some activities carry a surcharge.
