overview

Set on the secluded island of Pemba, just North of Zanzibar, Fundu Lagoon is a rare gem. Live out your wildest Robinson Crusoe fantasies when you stay at this quintessentially East African retreat, also known as one of the best diving spots in the Indian Ocean.

Fundu Lagoon offers a rustic, secluded experience on the remote island of Pemba. Authentic, exotic and utterly relaxed, there are few places like Fundu Lagoon on this planet.

Rooms

There are three different levels of luxury at this camp: tented rooms, suites and luxury suites. The eighteen various accommodations are either down on the beach or slightly up a hill with breathtaking views and a light ocean breeze. All room types come with large, comfortable beds draped in a mosquito net, ceiling fans, a minibar stocked with your choice of beverage, and an ensuite bathroom complete with hot running water. The suites also have a large lounging space and a private plunge pool.

Facilities

The main area is built out of wood and raised on the natural incline of the coastline.  There is a prominent bar that dominates the upper central area, with the main restaurant to one side.  A small area filled with cushions and bean bags is hidden by the bar, and there is a TV room with a pool table in a separate unit nearby.  On the other side of the property, there is an enormous pool and restaurant, famous for the happy hour cocktails. There is also a sunset bar located at the pier.

Activities

You'll find a plethora of activities to make the most of your stay. Dive enthusiasts, whether snorkelers or scuba divers, can revel in exceptional underwater experiences. If you're keen to explore local culture, enjoy village walks and guided tours of historical ruins. For the more active adventurer, partake in kayak expeditions through mangroves and invigorating forest hikes. Fishing trips and serene sunset cruises offer additional ways to enhance your day. And, for those seeking relaxation, the swimming pool, beach loungers, and skilled massage therapist will ensure a successful getaway.

Children

Fundu Lagoon welcomes children aged 12 and over. Standard Rooms and Suites can fit an additional single bed, and Superior Suites have space for two.

Scuba Diving

Fundu Lagoon, a PADI 5-Star Gold Palm Resort, has a first-rate dive center and some of the best diving spots in the Indian Ocean.

Misali Island

The lodge also has access to Misali Island, a fabulous private island inside a protected marine conservation area.

Please note

There is a sand track between the facilities and a long set of steps up to the pool. Should you have any walking difficulty, we would suggest not staying here. Also, as part of the stripped-back style, there is no air conditioning. The beach is also quite small when compared to the beaches on Zanzibar.
