A contemporary hotel on the banks of the Zambezi, just four kilometres upstream from majestic Victoria Falls.
The Palm River Hotel is the latest venture from the team behind long-time Lusso favourite Ilala Lodge and offers the same hallmarks of spacious accommodation, exemplary service and wide-ranging activities. The hotel sits on the banks of the Zambezi among towering indigenous trees, just four kilometres from Victoria Falls - so close, in fact, that you can often see the spray and hear the thunder from your room. Guests can choose between 73 rooms and suites of varying sizes, including honeymoon suites with four-poster beds, luxurious gold bathtubs and spacious balconies overlooking Zambezi National Park, complete with hanging day beds and starlit outdoor showers. The grandest room by far is the presidential suite, with its bold painted mural and well-appointed private lounge. Though if you're travelling in a group you may prefer to splurge on the Palm River Villa, a self-contained home comprised of an executive suite, honeymoon suite and deluxe twin room, which together share a kitchen, dining room, spacious lounge, private car park, swimming pool, patio and garden.
Facilities include a first-rate restaurant, an indulgent spa and a 34-metre infinity pool that runs parallel to the waters of the Zambezi River. There's also a tours and activities desk that can arrange all manner of local activities, from river cruises on the Zambezi and tours of Victoria Falls to white-water rafting, ziplining and bungee jumping.
Palm River Hotel is situated along the banks of the Zambezi River, just four kilometres from Victoria Falls. Victoria Falls Airport is approximately a 30-minute drive away, while transfer times from Livingstone Airport in Zambia and Kasane Airport in Botswana are roughly one hour and 1.5 to 2 hours respectively.
