Review by hotel critic
Nestled on the serene shores of Pongwe Bay, the Island - Pongwe Lodge is a hidden gem that offers an adults-only retreat perfect for unwinding away from the hustle of everyday life. My recent stay was an escape that combined comfort and an immersive experience into the vibrant local culture of Zanzibar. We indulged in exquisite meals prepared with an artistic touch, all while being surrounded by the stunning views of the ocean from our room, which felt like a little slice of paradise. From the moment we arrived, the attentive staff made us feel right at home; they greeted us with a warm welcome and ensured we were well-fed, even arranging a delicious late-night meal for us on our first night. The mornings began with delightful breakfasts overlooking the turquoise waters, and afternoons were spent lounging by the pool or exploring the local beach restaurants, which offered a taste of authentic Zanzibari life. To cap off our days, the Sunset Lounge Balcony provided the ultimate vantage point to watch the sun dip below the horizon while enjoying live music and a relaxed atmosphere—perfect for the romantic escape we had in mind. I highly recommend the Island for anyone looking to embrace both luxury and local charm—it is a prime spot for couples or solo travelers seeking a tranquil getaway, where nature and culture intertwine seamlessly.
