Call usTulia Zanzibar, Pongwe Beach
Overview
Meaning “to relax” in Swahili, Tulia Zanzibar is a boutique resort on the quiet northeast coast above Pongwe Beach. Opened in 2016, it was crafted over four years into an intimate hideaway with just 16 luxurious suites. Known for its tropical gardens, inventive design, and warm service, Tulia is ideal for those seeking serenity without sacrificing comfort.
Each suite is generously sized, with king beds, spacious terraces, and thoughtful design touches. The seafront setting provides dramatic Indian Ocean views, while lush planting offers privacy and shade. Although the beachfront is rocky at high tide, walkable beach access is available at lower tides via landscaped paths and stairs.
Tulia goes above and beyond with its personalised service: daily yoga, a complimentary welcome massage, private transfers, and tailor-made dining are all included. The cuisine is fresh and flavourful, with à la carte menus that adapt to guests’ preferences. Whether relaxing by the pool, kayaking at dawn, or enjoying sunset cocktails in the garden, the experience is slow, intimate, and quietly luxurious.
