Rooms and places to stay in Pongwe

Pongwe is a small, quiet bay on the east coast, with palm trees leaning over a white beach and a little island just offshore. It is one of the calmer corners of Zanzibar, with only a few places to stay.

The reef shelters the beach, so the water is clear and still at high tide, and there is a long walk across the flats when the tide is out.
