Find your rhythm at an all-inclusive beachfront resort where luxe accommodation meets the sparkling turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean - includes a welcome drink

  • Swahili-style chic: Perfectly positioned on a secluded stretch of powdery white sand, Pongwe Bay Resort offers an intimate and authentic escape into island life. Your hotel blends traditional Swahili architecture with contemporary comforts, featuring earthy tones, hand-crafted furniture, and lush tropical gardens that lead directly to the sea. It’s a tranquil sanctuary designed for slow living – the only schedule to follow is the ebbing of the tide.

  • Tropical relaxation: At the resort’s heart lies a shimmering swimming pool surrounded by swaying palms, but for deeper indulgence, retreat to the serene spa. Inspired by local traditions, the wellness centre offers a range of soothing treatments and massages using natural ingredients (fees apply). Whether you're lounging in a hammock with a book or listening to the waves from a beachside cabana, relaxation is the order of the day.

  • Authentic island flavours: Savour the renowned spices of Zanzibar at the resort’s elegant restaurant, promising a menu of tantalising cuisine. With a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients and the catch of the day, you can enjoy mouthwatering seafood dishes while looking out over the ocean. As night falls, the relaxed bar is the perfect spot to enjoy a tropical cocktail under a canopy of stars. 

How to get thereThe resort is located on the east coast of Zanzibar, approximately one hour and 15 minutes from Abeid Amani Karume International Airport by taxi or rental car. 

Entry requirements

The passport, visa and health requirements at the time of booking can be viewed on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office website for UK citizens, and on the Department of Foreign Affairs website for IE citizens. It is your responsibility to ensure that you and all members of your party are in possession of all necessary travel and health documents, and in compliance with any other immigration/entry requirements before you travel, including whether your passport must be machine readable or which visas/waivers may be required for entry, such as ESTA for USA travel and/or ETIAS for EU travel. Please also be sure to check the validity of your passport and allow up to 10 weeks for passport renewals.

Pongwe

The quiet fishing village of Pongwe is celebrated for having one of the most beautiful and undisturbed beaches on the island’s east coast. Beyond the shore, the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean are a playground for snorkellers and divers, with vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life just a short boat trip away. 


For a change of pace, explore the nearby Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, the last sanctuary for the rare red colobus monkey. History enthusiasts should not miss a trip to Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, to wander its labyrinthine alleys and visit the historic Sultan's Palace. You can also embark on a guided spice tour to discover why Zanzibar is famously known as the "Spice Island."
