Accommodation in room types indicated
House wines, local beer, selected house spirits, soft drinks & bottled water
The epitome of Castaway Chic and the complete antithesis of commercial tourism, the gorgeous Fundu Lagoon is situated in a remote cove on Pemba Island and accessible by boat only. Great style, great vibe...an unforgettable experience!
Has to be one of our absolute favourite lodges of all! Fundu Lagoon boasts a blissful sense of luxurious isolation – yet its funky and fashionable at the same time!
The various suites with their massive lounge areas and private decks with plunge pools are simply amazing - we wouldn't blame you if you disappear for the duration of your stay as they are the perfect romantic hideaway!
Some of the most memorable bars and dining areas that we've ever experienced - enjoying sundowners on the jetty bar with the waves lapping gently against the legs of the jetty is a magical experience!
Superb scuba-diving on the famous vertical walls of Pemba as well as a host of other water-based activities are on offer - from kayaking and SUP'ing to fantastic deep-sea fishing!
Superb pool area on the ridge overlooking the bay means you’re always able to find relief from the heat of the tropical day, no matter what the tide is doing
Delicious food is conjured up in the Fundu kitchen – it's so good in fact, that there’s a Fundu Lagoon recipe book in the pipeline
There's no air-con which may be a deal breaker for some people, particularly in the heat and humidity of the peak summer months
The beach immediately in front of the lodge is good, but not great – for those white sand stretches head for Misali Island
If you’re not a tent-type person (even the luxury safari type tent found here) then Fundu Lagoon is not for you
the type of island experience Robinson Crusoe could have only dreamt about
18 tented rooms and suites including 2 Suites and 4 Superior Suites
Yes - and Suites have private plunge pools
What awaits lucky guests is the type of island experience Robinson Crusoe could have only dreamt about! The 18 luxury tents are almost obscured by the thick coastal rainforest that coats the hillside above the beach... there's a real sense of isolation and privacy about them, as all you can see are the gorgeous views across the bay.
Whilst hanging out in the splendid isolation of your tented sanctuary is very tempting, ultimately it would mean depriving yourself of chilling out in some of the most stylish public areas we saw anywhere in Tanzania (little wonder as one of the partners is a top London fashion designer) -- the spectacular jetty bar is especially unique and welcoming.
With a dive school and regular trips across to the gorgeous Misali Island for snorkelling or picnic lunches, more active guests will have their days full. Closer to home there's now a spectacular pool to lure guests away from the beach at low tide, not to mention a treatment room offering a wide range of pampering options.
