Fundu Lagoon

Pemba


Luxurious and exclusive, Fundu has rooms in large tents under palm-thatch roofs to create a beach lodge with a safari feel. Rooms are on the hillside with a great view, or on the beach with a small private deck. The restaurant overlooks the infinity pool with the ocean beyond, and the jetty bar is the obvious place for sundowners.

Nonmotorised activities such as kayak tours and dhow cruises are included. There's also a spa and dive centre. No children under 12 years. Fundu is 7km from Mkoani and reached by private speedboat.
