Beach Holiday Overview;

Spend five nights at a scenic bay on Zanzibar’s east coast. On this recommended beach holiday, you’ll stay at Pongwe Beach Hotel – a small retreat full of Zanzibari allure and character. Great-value, simple and modest, it offers friendly service and a negligent atmosphere. We love the beach here – one of the prettiest on the island.

Pongwe’s secluded location makes the beach peaceful and tranquil, and perfect for rest and upgrading after a safari. Even at high tide, when you can swim from the beach, there’s plenty of space on the sands under the coconut palms. And when the tide is out, you can put on some reef shoes and explore the rockpools of the exposed lagoon, looking for shells and starfish in the shallow waters. Laze by the pool or relax in a hammock under the palms.

Plentiful activities are on offer: go in search of Zanzibar’s colorful marine life around the nearby islet of Mnemba Atoll, which has some of the best snorkeling and diving on the island; or take a day trip to historic Stone Town, to explore the labyrinth of alleys and visit a spice plantation en route.
