Apartment in Pongwe

5.0 out of 5 average rating, 75 reviews

Cozy Apartment in Beach Villa with Pool

Our cozy one bedroom apartment is situated in our Kimurimuri Villa next to one of Zanzibar's most beautiful palm fringed beaches. It's the perfect place for nature lovers who want to inhale Zanzibar's beauty and hospitality outside the 'standard' hotel walls but not miss out on comfort. We are a small local family business and will help you experiencing the real Zanzibar. Pongwe is one of the last remaining authentic fishing villages with very few resorts/lodges. It's very safe and not crowded.
