Quick summary

Kendwa luxury resorts are strong for reliable beach comfort. Pongwe is good for quiet cove feeling. Michamvi/Pingwe and Dongwe/Kilamajuu can work for boutique or villa privacy.

Paje center can be noisy and kite/social-focused. Nungwi village can be busy and commercial. Remote villas can be beautiful but need transport and food planning.
