Getting to Fundu lagoon

Travelling to and from the Fundu Lagoon resort is a journey in itself...
It takes you by road through the island's villages and then follows the coast by boat to arrive in Fundu Lagoon.
The recommended means of arriving on Pemba Island is by a 30 minute light aircraft flight from Zanzibar. Schedule flights and air charter are both available. There is also a ferry service but this is unreliable and not recommended.
Chake Chake, the island's only airport, is in the centre of the island. After arrival at the airport, a 45 minute vehicle ride on a new tarmac road will take you to Mkoani Port. The last part of your journey is on Fundu Lagoon’s private boat service from Mkoani Port, taking you to the resort in 20-25 minutes.
There is no useable road access directly to Fundu Lagoon but boats are always available for hotel guests.

Fundu Lagoon resort hotel, Pemba, Zanzibar

Fundu lagoon is off the coast of east africa, situated on Pemba Island, the sister island to Zanzibar lying across the Pemba Channel to the north. The hotel is situated on a remote and beautiful beach on the south western side of the island and is only accessible by boat.

There are sixteen tented bungalows, offering spacious accommodation inside and out, set under makuti (thatch) roofs on wooden decks and each with a view over the ocean. The rooms are equipped with large double or twin beds, mosquito nets, ceiling and standing fans, and indoor and outdoor seating areas. Each has an ensuite bathroom with fresh hot water shower, toilet and basin. The rooms are connected to the main buildings by sand walkways. Some rooms are situated along the beachfront with the remaining on an elevated position overlooking the ocean.

Four of our sixteen accommodations are suites with their own private chill out decks and plunge pools. Two of which are superior beach suites with extensive space to relax and a large plunge pool.

We aim to provide the perfect environment for an idyllic vacation, an untroubled haven of tropical sunshine.

The resort offers two bars, a games and television room, an excellent restaurant serving local and international cuisine and a massage and treatment room.

Listed as one of the top diving locations in the world, we also cater for the more energetic holiday-maker with a fully-equipped PADI Resort Diving Centre and a range of watersports including snorkeling and kayaking.

Fashion designer Ellis Flyte and property developers Alex and Marcus Lewis are the directors of Fundu Lagoon.
