Property info

Moayana Liora – Your Private Paradise in Zanzibar Hidden in the peaceful bay of Pongwe, far from busy resorts, Moayana Liora offers absolute privacy, a private beach with azure waters, and a tropical garden filled with scents, flowers, and birdsong. Our fully equipped rooms blend comfort with nature, offering views of the ocean or lush greenery. In the restaurant, led by an experienced chef, unique culinary creations are crafted from organic ingredients sourced from local farmers – a modern fusion of flavors rarely found elsewhere in Zanzibar. We regularly visit our farmers, not only to select the highest quality ingredients but also out of friendship and mutual support. In collaboration with local artisans who handcraft ceramics and other details for us, we nurture the authenticity of every experience. We are the reborn jewel of Pongwe Bay – a boutique resort that we took over in a neglected state and lovingly restored completely. Thanks to our own travel agency, we organize exclusively private tailor-made excursions – no groups, no routines. Each trip is unique, designed according to our guests' wishes. You can embark on dolphin cruises, taste local spices directly on farms, visit traditional villages, or explore wild parts of the island inaccessible to typical tourists. During low tide, the bay transforms into quiet lagoons teeming with life – discover starfish, crabs, puffer fish, rays, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, and octopuses. For those seeking harmony, tranquility, and a genuine connection with nature.
