Situated on one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world, the Pongwe Beach Hotel is a true paradise retreat, set within a secluded bay on the east coast of Zanzibar; an island in the Indian Ocean just off the coast of Tanzania, Africa. We are a modestly sized hotel, with sixteen traditional beach-side cottages, and an intimate atmosphere.

Pongwe Beach Hotel offers the perfect paradise island experience. The bay's clear blue waters protected by the reef one kilometre 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.

Pongwe is situated half way up the East Coast of Zanzibar. We are an hour’s drive from Stone Town/the airport.
