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.

Fundu Lagoon is a member of zati - the Zanzibar Association of Tourism Investors.
