Pongwe Beach

The Island Pongwe Lodge

The priciest stay in Pongwe is a small adults-only lodge on the sheltered cove, rated an exceptional 9.6/10 over 104 reviews. Rooms open onto balconies and gardens, with room service and airport transfers, but it is intimate rather than a full resort. At about US$570 a night it is a honeymoon-grade splurge.
