Palm Beach Inn

Zanzibar Island


One of the Bwejuu originals, Palm Beach has seen some changes over the years, but it's still the same relaxed and friendly place with a great connection to the surrounding village. Simple bungalows sit in a shady garden that looks straight onto the beach. There's also a small swimming pool and a great little restaurant, and boat trips can be arranged.

Some larger suites and family rooms are also available.
