Located on Pemba Island, around 130 kilometres offshore from the main Zanzibar Island, Fundu Lagoon is truly remote and intimate beach haven.
Accessible by air or sea, Fundu Lagoon is a privately-owned boutique hotel set right on the beach, overlooking the dazzling blue ocean.
Hidden within lush jungle and surrounded by exquisite sea life, this exclusive hideaway provides a luxurious escape from the crowds, on an island of idyllic treasures.
You'll adore your stay in one of the 18 tented safari-style bungalows, and you'll spend your mornings waking up to the trilling of birds, the hum of the ocean, or even the sound of cheeky monkeys playing on the terrace.
Take a stroll along the beach to spot hermit crabs on the shore, or venture out into the ocean to snorkel with colourful shoals of fish and wild dolphins. You can go kayaking, deep-sea fishing, or venture out on a tailored scuba diving excursion around Misali Island.
Roam the beautiful island with a walk along the mangrove coast, or a gorgeous sunset dhow cruise. Relax in the hotel with a swim in the infinity swimming pool or a pampering at the luxurious Fundu Fusion Spa.
You'll work up an appetite exploring your surroundings, and the cuisine at Fundu Lagoon is another heavenly treat. The menu features a delicious fusion of Swahili and international cuisine, all produce is locally sourced, and you can enjoy your meals poolside or beachside.
The onsite Jetty Bar prepares refreshing cocktails for you to enjoy as you take in the panoramic views. Weather permitting, the resort organises a weekly beach seafood barbecues and a bonfire under the stars.
A sandy paradise that anyone will love for a remote, barefoot getaway.
Fundu Lagoon's luxury tented rooms are set on raised wooden decks with thatched makuti roofs and ocean views. The Beach Suite features luxurious amenities, including a private deck and plunge pool, while the Jungle Suite offers the ultimate private hideaway with an elevated seating area. Each spacious suite is built in a traditional east African style, and the rooms connect to the main lounge area with well-lit wooden walkways and paths through the tropical jungle.
The main lodge area houses the reception, restaurant and one of the bars. The separate Jetty Bar serves light bites and refreshing cocktails all day, with stunning views over the sea. Meals are usually served in the main restaurant, but you can choose to have your three-course meals served by the beach.

Be sure to check out their menu of Balinese healing rituals during your stay.
There are plenty of activities on offer to keep you busy whilst on Pemba, the on-site dive team can get you underwater, try some snorkelling or just enjoy a dhow cruise to explore the waters around.

The main restaurant serves up three-course meals, there are three bars to choose from for beachside cocktails, plus Fundu Lagoon hosts a weekly beach seafood barbecue. The food quality tends to be outstanding, with as many ingredients as possible coming from local farmers and fishermen you will enjoy international dishes – many with a Swahili twist!
