The sand is pristine and perfect for a beach getaway. The beach itself is actually a naturally protected bay and it is perfect for water sports such as snorkeling and scuba diving.The resort includes primitive but, luxurious beach huts that dot the coast. You can wake up and feel like you are on a deserted island. If you are looking for a holiday unlike any other then book a vacation at this resort. This is paradise found.

The staff at the Pongwe Beach Resort Zanzibar is extremely helpful. The restaurant offers fresh, local food and is delicious. The chefs are all trained by a world renowned Michelin star chef and this helps give the resort another air of exclusivity- in addition to the great food!

During the day the beaches are watched over by men in traditional tribesmen outfits. They make sure that the beach of the resort remains free of litter and outsiders. You can book a fabulous massage that overlooks the ocean. At night, there are social gatherings with the other guests or you can enjoy a nice romantic evening in your beach cottage. In the morning, breakfast is brought to your room and you can enjoy an unbelievable sunrise as you greet the day with a fresh meal.
