tulia zanzibar — intimate beachfront resort on pongwe’s east coast

A low-density Pongwe beach retreat with villas and bungalows, spa and yoga, and personalised island experiences

1 / 7

tulia zanzibar sits on a low cliff and private stretch of white sand at pongwe on Zanzibar’s east coast. With only sixteen accommodation units, the grounds feel intimate rather than resort-scale, with sea-facing villas and garden cottages arranged for privacy and ocean views.

The resort’s style is barefoot luxury: clean contemporary lines, local material accents and indoor–outdoor living that puts sea breezes and sunset light at the centre of each day. Personalised service, yoga, spa treatments and tailored dining make it a natural follow-on to a safari for couples, honeymooners and small groups.
