Just 100 metres off the northeast coast of Zanzibar,
The Island Pongwe offers an exclusive private island
experience for those in search of a unique secret escape
for adults only. Six villas nestle on a natural coral rock
in quiet Pongwe Bay where sunrise and sunset views
are memorable moments framing endless days of blue
horizons. The eco-friendly villas are cooled by the shade
of surrounding trees and trade winds and enjoy a private
veranda with ocean views. The Island offers exclusive
facilities for an exotic wedding, romantic celebration or a
small group of friends looking to hire the entire island for
a private getaway.
A quiet virgin beach fringed with palm trees and dense
tropical vegetation can be reached on foot at low tide
or by canoe. The bay is protected by an offshore reef,
keeping inner waters calm for swimming and snorkelling.
Balance lazing away the endless sunshine by visiting a
seaweed farm, sea urchin hunting, horse ride across the
bay, or even sail a traditional Zanzibar dhow or explore
the reef on a scuba or fishing trip. A half-hour drive away
is the walled labyrinth of ancient Stone Town and spice
plantations which hypnotise the senses with fresh cloves,
nutmeg, cinnamon and pepper.
