Situated in Michamvi, a few steps from Michamvi Pingwe Beach, Le Mersenne Zanzibar, Autograph Collection features accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, an outdoor swimming pool and a fitness centre.

The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property.

The area is popular for cycling, and car hire is available at this 5-star hotel.

Le Mersenne was an extremely breath taking place to stay at. The Staff was super friendly and welcomed us with a live performance of a local song. We were given wet face towels as soon as we arrived and this was very thoughtful given that the heat was on the extreme side of things. Our room was upgraded to a much better room that we had paid for free of charge. My mind keeps going back there because it was heaven on earth. When we left, they sang for us AGAIN, bidding us goodbye. Go stay at Le Mersenne. You will not regret it! I promise!!

Qambani Luxury Resort features an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, a shared lounge and terrace in Michamvi. A few steps from Michamvi Kae Beach and 1.6 km from Michamvi Pingwe Beach, the property offers a bar and a private beach area. The accommodation provides room service, a business centre and luggage storage for guests.

the property is secluded which is exactly what we were looking for. When we did want to venture into town transfers were handled and it was always smooth and straightforward. The food was spectacular! you can request to eat anywhere on the property to enjoy whatever view you’re feeling (pool, lobby, room etc). Each day a few options for lunch were shared, and a set menu for dinner. Food was fresh, generous portions and scrumptious. We got a nice mixture of Zanzibari cuisine and international options.

The elegantly and spacious villas are decorated in natural and warm colours. Each boasts a private plunge pool and a terrace offering views of the Indian Ocean. They offer a seating area, satellite TV and WiFi.

I was so torn about which hotel/resort to select for my 4-nights stay in Zanzibar, there we so many to choose from. Traveling solo, I took a chance on The Palms. I have never been more pleased. It's an intimate seating and the villas feel like "home". A luxury experience, with the traditional African decor and feel. The villas are huge. I visited at the start of the rainy season and the resort was only 35% occupied. But I loved the personalized attention, and the kindness of the staff is unlike anything I've ever experience. The food was as good (or better) than any restaurant there. I could go on and on, but I'll summarize by saying... whether a couple or single, you will NOT be disappointed if you chose to stay at The Palms. p.s. Another plus was that I could visit any of the other hotels in the Zanzibar Hotel Collection. So I did a spa treatment at Baraza, had dinner with friends at Zawaldi and shopped for gifts at the gift shop in Breezes. AN AMAZING STAY!!!

    It was an incredible stay. Isabella was a brilliant hostess, and we felt we were at a home away from home. Milele was a special experience for my husband and I, and it will have a piece of our heart forever. We will be back - all round 5 stars from us - great location, peaceful setting, spotless room, brilliant staff, amazing food and the owner went over and above to ensure we had an all round unforgettable experience.

    Wonderful location, sea-view, outstanding African facilities, just 5 minutes away from the Rock restaurant but also with very good own kitchen. A lot of nice and comfy corners to just rest and do nothing. Great for a three to five days stay with or without family.
