Pongwe Beach

Karibu Beach Resort

An adults-only five-star on the quiet Pongwe cove, with a spa, a restaurant, private pools and evening entertainment. No children and no all-inclusive board, so it leans towards couples and honeymooners who want calm. Reviews are strong at 8.9/10 over 438 stays, and at about US$429 a night it is firmly a splurge.
