Pongwe Bay Resort

I really like the idea bare foot idea, as for WiFi 🛜 if your accommodation is near enough the main building you are in range. With WiFi and my tablet, I have TV if required.

THIS IS THE ONLY RESORT IN ZANZIBAR BUILT AND PROJECTED FOLLOWING THE PRICIPLES OF BARE-FOOTING PHILOSOPHY. ALL THE PATHS ARE IN SAND, PAVEMENTS ARE IN TIPYCAL ZANZIBAR MATERIAL MADE WITH COLOURED PIGMENTS SAND AND CEMENT, ALL THE FURNITURE IS MADE OF NATURAL MATERIALS. YOU DON’T HAVE WI-FI OR TELEVISION IN THE ROOM SO TO AVOID DISTURBING A GOOD SLEEP, MATRESSES ARE IMPORTED FROM ITALY AND LINEN ARE OF EGYPTIAN BEST COTTON. YOU CAN AVOID TO USE SHOES EVERYWHERE IF YOU LIKE, EVEN IN THE COMMON AEREA OR AT THE RESTAURANT. WE ONLY REQUIRE TO AVOID BATH SUITS IN THE EVENING BUT FOR LUNCH THEY ARE OK IF YOU LIKE.

Anyway, after a pleasant breakfast, it is time to hit the pool area.

The property is really well kept and maintained. The vegetation is abundant and thriving.

It is thirsty work swimming around. Better to retire to the bar / lounge / restaurant area.

A short digestive walk along the beach and in the shallow waters after lunch

Before retiring in the cool and the obligatory daily afternoon nap 😴. It is also the ideal time to catch up with the news, write emails and update blogs.

Went out for dinner in one of the hotels further along the beach. Not too impressed with the food, just average.
