Fundu Lagoon

Fundu Lagoon on Pemba Island is a truly magical place, an insider tip for those seeking something special. Imagine a secluded bay where the dense, green jungle gently meets a pristine sandy beach and the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. The special feature: you can only reach this paradise by boat. This exclusivity makes Fundu Lagoon an ideal retreat for couples and friends looking to truly switch off and relax in a romantic and incredibly peaceful environment. I've seen many remote places, but the atmosphere here is unique – you feel like you're at the end of the world, in the most positive sense.

What Awaits You at Fundu Lagoon

Here, you'll experience "barefoot luxury" in its most beautiful form. It's not about ostentatious glamour, but stylish simplicity, a connection with nature, and absolute privacy. The lodge blends harmoniously into the landscape, built from natural materials and with great attention to detail. You immediately sense that this is a place to unwind and leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind.

Your Accommodation

• Type: You'll stay in luxurious, individually designed tented suites or bungalows, either directly on the beach or built on wooden stilts on the hillside overlooking the sea or nestled into the jungle. Many feature private terraces and even small plunge pools.
• Facilities: Expect comfortable beds, stylish bathrooms (often open-air or with sea views), mosquito nets, and furnishings that combine African design with modern comfort. Despite the seclusion, you won't miss out on any essentials.
• Highlight: The incredible peace and privacy. The feeling of being one with nature, whether waking up to the sound of the waves or the singing of birds from the jungle. Many suites offer spectacular views.

Food & Drinks

The cuisine at Fundu Lagoon is renowned for its fresh, local ingredients, especially, of course, seafood straight from the ocean. Meals are often served in various picturesque locations – sometimes casually on the beach, sometimes elegantly in the main restaurant, or very privately on your terrace. The bar is the perfect place to watch the sunset over the sea with an exotic cocktail. There are often themed evenings or special dinner arrangements that will make your stay unforgettable.

Wellness & Activities

Pemba Island is a world-famous diving destination, and Fundu Lagoon has its own PADI dive center that will take you to the best spots. But there's plenty to discover beyond diving:

• Water Sports: Snorkeling, kayaking through the mangroves, stand-up paddling.
• Relaxation: Indulgent spa treatments, relaxed hours by the infinity pool or on the beach.
• Culture & Nature: Boat trips to nearby islands, exploring mangrove forests, visiting local villages (respectfully and organized), or a traditional dhow cruise at sunset.

Location of Fundu Lagoon

This seclusion guarantees absolute tranquility and untouched nature.

Part of Your Tanzania Journey

Fundu Lagoon is the perfect destination to unwind and find pure relaxation after an adventurous safari on the mainland or a Kilimanjaro climb. It's an ideal place for honeymooners, diving enthusiasts, or simply for travelers seeking a truly unique and peaceful spot off the beaten path. A combination of Tanzania's wild bush and Pemba's quiet beauty is an unbeatable experience.
