About us

Pongwe Beach Hotel is situated on one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. Pongwe Beach Hotel is a true paradise retreat, set within a secluded bay on the east coast of Zanzibar, an island in the Indian Ocean just off the coast of Tanzania, Africa. Locally known as Unguja, Zanzibar is a small island in the Indian Ocean off the east coast of Africa, about 60 kilometers from Tanzania’s principal port of Dar es Salaam. We are a modestly sized hotel with sixteen traditional beach-side cottages and an intimate atmosphere. The resort’s beautiful gardens surround twenty Zanzibarian cottages, 3 garden view cottages, 16 beachfront cottages and 4 sea view suites. At the Pongwe Beach Hotel we offer good value accommodation, while not sacrificing quality.

Covert Cocktail Club
Covert Cocktail Club
Multi-city
Once upon a time in 2016, Matt Levy, founder of Covert Cocktail Club, hosted a secret speakeasy as an intimate place for strangers to gather in his home. The only way to find out about it was via word of mouth. No address was given, the only clue being a sign placed in the window, “Cocktails Here”. A lot of people thought it was pretty cool, even before The New York Times wrote about it. But that was all pre-pandemic, and this is a new era. Liberated from the confines of a single location, Covert Cocktail Club now brings the speakeasy right to your door—be it at your home, office, bar mitzvah, dinner party, bachelor/ette party or anywhere you choose!
