A large, adult only, all inclusive resort style hotel offering comfortable rooms and extensive facilities on the beach between Kendwa and Nungwi.

Riu Palace, previously known as Hideaway of Nungwi Resort, features 100 luxuriously appointed ocean front accommodations, each with a private balcony from where to relish the stunning views of the Indian Ocean and tropical gardens. All suites and villas are purposely built and structured to guarantee a private and peaceful environment and are decorated with contemporary, stylish furniture that evoke the island’s Arabic-African and Colonial heritage.

Riu Palace is a popular choice for European guests travelling on beach package holidays. We like the effort made by the resort to go for a modern design, but each time we visit find it to be a little uninspiring, especially when there is plenty more authentic style accommodation available on the island.
