Overview:

Pongwe Beach hotel sits in a private bay on the east coast of Zanzibar just an hour’s drive from Stone Town. The beautiful beach is swept daily before even the earliest of birds wake for their morning cup of tea. Morning refreshment is delivered freshly to your door step by the attentive and touchingly proud team at Pongwe. Nothing is a problem here and they host so confidently that you can see the pleasure in the faces and actions of each and every member of the team. This is a guest house with a difference, the staff are loyal and in many cases have been at Pongwe for the best part of a decade, resulting in a finely tuned service and as mentioned, a proud and happy team hosting your stay.
