Set over on the north eastern coastline of Zanzibar, Pongwe Beach Hotel is a relatively new addition to the Hotel community, and a very welcome one. The hotel consists of 16 rooms set in small cottages, 2 to a cottage, most of which have views of the beach and sea beyond. The beach itself is a beautiful little cove that is sheltered on both sides by a small coral outcrop, and, as the hotels owns the land around it aswell, it means that there is almost no traffic on the beach at all. There is now a delightful swimming pool which was completed in November 2006.

Accommodation:
The 10 thatched en-suite rooms, with Moroccan style walk-in showers, are a good size and are in four cottages, two cottages have 2 rooms and two cottages have 3 rooms. The rooms have traditional Zanzibari furniture, good mosquito nets, fans (but no air conditioning), private verandahs with beach/ocean views ideal for early risers wanting spectacular views of the sunrise, and to have a leisurely breakfast.

Facilities
- There is a spacious bar/restaurant area which has an open front looking out over the beach/ocean. Meals are more than acceptable; the fish curies we have had are memorable. On Friday nights tables are set on the beach for moonlight dinners and special meals can be made to order. The Hotel has its own boat to take guests to the deep waters beyond the reef and scuba diving can be arranged with a dive centre. Snorkelling trips to Mnemba Atoll can also be arranged.
