À vivre

Just 4 kilometres from Victoria Falls, Palm River Hotel occupies a privileged setting on the banks of the legendary Zambezi. Yet from the moment of arrival, the bustle fades away. Majestic indigenous trees envelop the grounds, the river flows peacefully, and only birdsong disturbs the silence. Here, nature takes its rightful place.

Inspired by Australian Queenslander architecture, Palm River Hotel combines contemporary elegance, natural materials and wide openings onto the landscape. Every space has been designed to let the light in, offer unobstructed views of the river and preserve a genuine sense of privacy.

The property is also committed to a responsible approach, favouring solar and hydroelectric power, careful water management, a recycling programme, and the preservation of wildlife and the cultural heritage of Victoria Falls. A philosophy that echoes our own vision of travel at Étendues Sauvages: discovering exceptional places while respecting the territories that host them.

Layout

Palm River Hotel offers 73 rooms and suites, spread across several buildings elegantly integrated into the garden bordering the Zambezi River.
The common areas are arranged around a spectacular 34-metre infinity pool, made up of a lap pool, an infinity-edge pool and a shallow area for families. The restaurant, outdoor bar, shaded terraces and outdoor lounges all benefit from the river's proximity. A spa, fitness room, boutique, meeting rooms and a free shuttle to Victoria Falls complete the facilities.
