Typical of Zanzibar’s east coast tidal fluctuations, Pongwe Beach has a gorgeous infinity pool for you to enjoy and it seems to merge with the tidal flats at extreme low tide when there can be no swimming as the waves are super far out.
A daily changing menu is offered at the spacious restaurant and bar and a 3-course meal delights diners every evening – all dietary requirements or special requests are catered for and diverse cocktails, beers, wines and soft drinks are available at the bar.
