Fundu Lagoon

Accommodation Description

Fundu Lagoon is an intimate, all-inclusive hideaway offering thatched tented suites strung along the beach and hillside of Pemba Island. Each suite features a king-sized bed draped in mosquito netting, an en-suite bathroom, and a private deck with sea or forest views. The superior categories offer private plunge pools and expansive decks for sunbathing or stargazing. Constructed from local materials and powered sustainably, the resort balances barefoot simplicity with comfort. With no air-conditioning or televisions, the experience is deliberately unplugged and peaceful. Guests enjoy all meals and soft drinks as part of the stay, and the warm staff ensure every detail from sunset cocktails to dive excursions is taken care of. Designed for adults and older teens, Fundu Lagoon is the ideal escape for travellers seeking space, quiet, and ocean-edge charm.

Setting Description

Accessible only by boat, Fundu Lagoon sits between rainforest and a secluded stretch of white sand on Pemba Island’s south-west coast. Its surroundings are rich in marine life and mangroves, offering guests a natural playground above and below the waterline. The resort overlooks a calm lagoon dotted with dhows, while behind it lies lush forest alive with monkeys and exotic birdlife. The on-site PADI 5-Star dive centre is renowned for exceptional reef diving and snorkelling, while kayaking, dhow trips, and dolphin safaris explore the nearby channels. Evenings unfold with cocktails on the jetty bar and dining beneath the stars. The mood throughout is easy and elegant, however, remote enough to feel like a private island, yet welcoming in every sense.
