The Island Pongwe Lodge

Experiencia única tanto por el buen trato recibido nada mas llegar por parte de la manager del hotel y todo su equipo con 4 o 5 detalles que marcan la diferencia.. tanto por el sitio que es increíble, la comida igual de increible, y la tranquilidad y paz que da estar aquí después de un largo viaje no tiene precio. Recomendable 100x100

We stayed at Island Pongwe Lodge for only two days, but we truly wish we could have stayed much longer. Our room was absolutely beautiful, with a stunning view of the ocean that made every moment feel magical. The entire place is peaceful, serene, and even more breathtaking in person than any picture could ever capture. The staff were amazing throughout our stay—always happy to help, always warm, and always ready to answer any questions we had. A special thank you to Rafael and Michela, who were super helpful via email even before our stay and made everything feel smooth and welcoming from the very beginning. They continued to be fantastic in person, making our experience feel even more personal and memorable. We visited for my birthday, and they organised the most romantic meal for us. It was far beyond anything I expected and made the celebration incredibly special. The food during our stay was consistently delicious, and I also really loved that they support local businesses by using locally made soaps and products—such a thoughtful touch that reflects the heart of the lodge. Another lovely surprise was the presence of the island’s dog and cats. They were so cute, friendly, and calm—such a pleasant and heartwarming addition that made the island feel even more special and homely. Island Pongwe Lodge is a place that stays with you, and we can’t wait for the day we get to return. Highly recommended.

Accueil extraordinaire, emplacement merveilleux et le personnel étaient aux petits soins. La nourriture a été un délice et ils étaient à l’écoute de nos demandes. Ils nous ont offert une activité splendide. Le couché de soleil depuis le restaurant restera inoubliable ainsi que Juma notre serveur au petit soin. Merci infiniment

Tout était parfait ! Magie des lieux, gentillesse de l'équipe, accueil impeccable de Raphaël et son équipe. La cuisine est délicieuse. Une expérience incroyable que je recommande. Nous y étions pour notre voyage de noces. Merci encore de nous avoir fait vivre un moment suspendu dans le temps.

Posto incantevole direttamente sul mare di pongue con una vista mozzafiato. Cibo di qualità, abbiamo preso: linguine con crema di aragosta squisite, il risotto ai frutti di mare purtroppo non era altrettanto. Servizio ottimo.

What an absolute incredible hotel! Easily the most amazing experience we had on our honeymoon trip. We did a week long safari on the mainland of Tanzania and finished it off in Zanzibar. We originally stayed at Gold Zanzibar which was great as well but we were looking for something a little more private. The staff exceeded our expectations with arranging a stay at the island pangwe lodge. Here we were treated like royalty the restaurant staff and entire team were an absolute pleasure to stay with. Made our honeymoon unforgettable. Thank you Francesca and the staff at gold as well! Thank you Island Pangwe team!
