Escape to the tranquil embrace of Pongwe Beach Hotel, a boutique retreat nestled on a sheltered cove along Zanzibar’s east coast. With a handful of intimate rooms and suites set directly on or just steps from powder-white coral sand and the turquoise Indian Ocean, this seaside hideaway effortlessly blends barefoot luxury with relaxed island charm.
The lodge offers a seamless connection to the natural surroundings—palms dipping to the water’s edge, hammocks and sun loungers scattered beneath the shade, and a cliff-edge infinity pool gazing across the sea. Guests enjoy easy access to snorkelling, kayaking, and cycling through quiet coastal terrain, all in a setting defined by calm rather than crowds.
Dining celebrates the flavours of Zanzibar, with fresh seafood, island spices and warm, personalised service. Whether you’re enjoying a romantic candle-lit dinner on the sand or simply sipping a sundowner on your terrace, every moment seems designed to unwind.
Perfect for couples, honeymooners or anyone seeking a gentle beachside interlude following safari or exploration, Pongwe Beach Hotel is where the rhythm of the waves becomes your schedule—and luxury is defined by peace and place.
