A Barefoot Hideaway on Pemba Island

On a remote mangrove-fringed beach on Pemba Island, reachable only by boat, Fundu Lagoon is a barefoot hotel of 12 tented rooms, with international and Swahili dining, four bars, a fusion spa, an infinity pool and a five-star dive centre.

Robinson Crusoe luxury on a private beach

Fundu Lagoon is a small private hotel on a mangrove-fringed beach on the south-western shore of Pemba Island in the Zanzibar archipelago, where jungle meets ocean, accessible only by boat and with a Robinson Crusoe, barefoot-luxury atmosphere. It has 12 thatched tented rooms with ocean views, on the hillside and beachfront, in three categories, Standard rooms, Suites with a private plunge pool and Superior Suites with a plunge pool and more, not suitable for children under 12.

Dining is in a spacious open-sided Makuti-thatched main restaurant serving international and Swahili cuisine with a fusion of Arabic, Indian, Swahili and colonial influences and the daily catch, plus beach BBQs, Swahili feasts and private dining, with four bars, the Jetty, Main, Pool and Beach bars, and all meals, soft drinks, beers and a daily bottle of house wine included. There is the Fundu Fusion Spa with African and Asian therapies and a hillside infinity pool with treetop and ocean views. Experiences run from a five-star PADI dive centre and snorkelling to dolphin safaris, mangrove canoe safaris, village treks and a dhow sunset cruise. Independent, it suits couples, friends and families of 12 and up and divers seeking a remote, romantic barefoot island hideaway, ideal post-safari.

A note on experience

This suits you if you want a remote, romantic barefoot island hideaway. Arrive by boat, settle into a thatched tented room, and dive the pristine reefs from the five-star PADI centre. Dine on Swahili-influenced cooking and the daily catch, swim in the hillside infinity pool, and take a dhow sunset cruise. It is remote and adults-oriented. Best for couples, friends and divers, ideal post-safari.
