Cabana view of Bwejuu Beach on the east coast of Zanzibar. This luxury resort is a wonderful place to relax after a couple weeks of safari. Either that, or host a small destination wedding here - the white sand beach has been rated one of the best in the world and, due to it's remote location, is never crowded. In fact, The Palms only has six large bungalows while the neighboring property, Breezes, has 60 rooms. Otherwise, the beach is yours to share with the few locals who wander by.
