The Island is built on a natural coral rock in the quiet Pongwe Bay, Zanzibar. The location offers unforgettable sunset and sunrise views. The cycle of high and low tides creates a magical atmosphere, reaching the coast by canoe at high tide while at low tide it’s a short walk to the beach facing the Island.
