Pongwe Beach Hotel

Blessed with a spectacular white sand beach, Pongwe Beach Hotel is a good value option on Zanzibar. Though the rooms, service and design are a bit in need of updates, the hotel is great for a couple looking for a simple but beautiful option.  — Mango's view

Pongwe Beach Hotel offers the perfect paradise island experience. The bays clear blue waters - protected by the reef one kilometer from the shore - are ideal for swimming and snorkeling. If the midday sun becomes too strong you can retreat into the shade of the palm trees that line the white sandy beach, and sip a long, cool drink.

The resorts beautiful gardens surround sixteen beach front Zanzibarian cottages. You will find various local hand crafted Zanzibarian doors and traditional beds. All cottages have en-suite bathrooms, with Moroccan style walk in showers. Each cottage also has its own private terrace where guests may enjoy the sunrise and a leisurely breakfast.

The sea view cottages have traditional lime wash walls, and thatched roofs made from woven palm leaves. The size of our resort allows us to maintain a high standard of service, and even during peak-season the atmosphere at the Pongwe Beach Hotel remains relaxed, intimate and exclusive.
