The Palm River Hotel is truly magnificent from the architecture to the furnishings to the manicured gardens. It’s really quite something. The setting is idyllic and peaceful on the Zambezi River and just 4km from Victoria Falls. On a clear and quiet day you’ll even see the spray and hear the falls thunder.

It’s all new and modern with a colonial architectural air about it. It’s a hotel that is more than easy on the eye. It’s quite the marvel actually yet it’s also functional and well suited to the scene and surrounding nature.

It bridges the line between contemporary and timeless so elegantly, both in the main living areas and in the rooms, whether a deluxe room or suite and even through to the villa. Nestled in the treetops the honeymoon suites are spectacular with the indulgent balconies and starlit outdoor shower. Take it up a notch and go presidential and if you really want to up the ante, book the Palm River Villa.

Dine beneath a canopy of trees, there’s a future forward café bar and of course there’s an afternoon riverside tea to delight.

You’re well based here to explore the Falls, Victoria Falls town and all the other many activities on offer and when you’re ready to simply relax, there’s a luxurious spa to top it all. It almost seems too good to be true, but this place is real and the stay is well worth it. In this case, seeing is believing. You’ll see.
