The award-winning Pongwe Beach Hotel is on the east coast of Zanzibar’s main island, located on a palm-fringed beach many say is the most beautiful. White sands and turquoise waters… the recipe for perfection.
For over 20 years, the Pongwe Beach Hotel has worked hand-in-hand with its local community, sourcing the fresh produce that goes into the wonderful cuisine here. Various excursions are possible here, whether swimming in the lagoon (or just the infinity pool!) or taking an island tour.
Compact and intimate, with just 22 rooms, the Pongwe Beach Hotel provides a relaxing and peaceful venue for those seeking a stress-free island retreat. Local materials and local labor have crafted the tasteful rooms in Zanzibari style.
Guests at Pongwe Beach Hotel can choose from four rooms: the two-bedroom Beach Front Suite (with private plunge pool), the Sea View Suite (with private plunge pool), the Beach Front Room, or the Garden Room. All are ensuite, with Moroccan-style walk-in showers.
Start the day with an invigorating tea or coffee served in the room. Then, enjoy a delicious breakfast to give you energy for the day’s activities. Fish and seafood play an important part in the cuisine here, though all special dietary requirements can be catered for with notice.
At Pongwe Beach Hotel, Beach dinners can be ordered, and the popular Swahili buffet is on Fridays. Enjoy a delicious poolside cocktail, fresh juice, or something stronger from the range of local and imported favorites.
