Palumbo Reef in Uroa on the east coast, Zanzibar

Palumbo Reef is on the famous Uroa beach located on the eastern coast of the island. The most fascinating way to reach the beach is by walking through Palumbo Reef. The resort extends elegantly towards the ocean. Starting from the reception, you’ll pass by tree-shaded rooms and the innovative undulating swimming pool, finally to step out onto the gleaming white sand and the amazing view of the ocean.

With a short walk from the hotel, you can reach Uroa, a quaint fishing village of generous and hospital people. The hotel is built right on the edge of Uroa Beach. You’ll be fascinated by the different hues the Indian Ocean turns and by the white beach where you can take long relaxing walks and admire the sand-banks during low tide. The beach is equipped with local handcrafted beach chairs, beach umbrellas and plush towels (upon deposit).
