Is the Pongwe Beach Hotel for Me?

Pongwe Beach Hotel is nestled in a secluded cove with a coral lagoon, and offers an idyllic setting. The white sandy beach is dotted with coconut trees, some boasting hammocks for perfect relaxation.

The hotel has several room categories, depending on your budget and preferences. There are garden rooms, beachfront rooms and a few selected sea-view suites with their own plunge pool.  All feature a blend of traditional and modern elements. Crafted by local artisans, they feature coconut palm thatched roofs, hand-crafted wooden doors, and en-suite bathrooms with Moroccan-style showers.

The restaurant offers the most delicious local cuisine, buffet style for breakfast and dinners and a small a-la-carte menu during the day time.

You can relax by the pool, for should you wish to be more active enjoy the ocean’s warm and calm waters for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, SUPing and boat trips.
