The Island Pongwe

An Exclusive Oceanfront Villa Retreat

The Island Pongwe is one of Zanzibar’s most unique and intimate retreats, located on a small private islet surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Accessible only by a short boat ride during high tide or a sandy pathway at low tide, this secluded hideaway offers a sense of privacy and tranquility that few places can match. It is a haven for couples and travelers looking for a luxurious, nature-filled escape away from the crowds.

The villas are elegantly designed with a balance of comfort and simplicity, featuring handcrafted furniture, soft fabrics, and natural materials that blend seamlessly with the island’s environment. Each villa opens to a private terrace with stunning ocean views, creating the perfect spot to relax, read, or enjoy a quiet moment as the sun sets over the horizon. The sound of the waves and the soft ocean breeze make every stay feel like a true island sanctuary.

Guests can unwind by the infinity pool, explore the beach, or enjoy fresh and creative meals prepared with local ingredients. The restaurant offers open-air dining with panoramic sea views, serving dishes that celebrate Zanzibar’s tropical flavors and culinary traditions. Romantic dinners under the stars or a cocktail at sunset make the experience even more unforgettable.

The Island Pongwe captures the essence of barefoot luxury, where time slows down and nature takes center stage. With personalized service and breathtaking surroundings, it is the perfect destination for an intimate and relaxing island getaway.
