Situated on its own island approximately 10 kilometres north of Vamizi, Rongui Island Lodge enjoys what is perhaps the most idyllic location in the archipelago. Positioned at the head of a shallow crescent shaped lagoon, the sand is sugar soft and the water a translucent and inviting turquoise. (When we arrived, our boat was even accompanied by two dolphins hurdling the wake in welcome.)
Rongui Island Lodge comprises six spacious beachfront villas. The villas are smaller than those at Vamizi, but equally as luxurious and the décor has the same unsparing attention to detail. Staying on this idyllic island is an experience every bit in the Robinson Crusoe mould, but with such luxurious accommodation only difference here is that you’d never want to be rescued.
The planned completion date for Rongui Island was July 2006, but having seen the remote location and the logistical challenges we think early 2010 is more likely. In any case, the wait will be worth it, as we think Rongui may even eclipse its stunning sister lodge on Vamizi Island
