About Sultan Palace

Sultan's Palace is a luxury boutique hotel surrounded by endless white sands, the blue Indian Ocean and unspoilt wilderness. It lies at the end of a pristine beach, on a high coral cliff on the South-East coast of Zanzibar Island. The raised location offers wonderful sea views and the comfortable road leading to the hotel weaves through enchanting woodland, and mango and papaya crops. The hotel combines romance, exclusivity and relaxation in the elegant atmosphere of a private villa. It is professionally and efficiently run by friendly staff and the cuisine is usually raved about.

The rooms

The 15 air-conditioned suites at the Sultan Palace Hotel overlook either the ocean or the lush exotic gardens. They are constructed from white-washed walls and natural stone and are inspired by the rounded shapes of the Nautilus shell as well as the island's Arabian and African influences. Each suite is decorated differently, with unique drapes and local furnishings. Huge private terraces give guests direct access to long stretches of white sandy beaches. The suites are named after the garden flowers.
