Pemba Diving

Pemba is a wonderful destination in its own right, with numerous smaller islands spread all the way along its coast. With excellent diving and fishing, and less tourism than Zanzibar itself, Pemba lies approximately 80 km northeast of Zanzibar Island - about the same distance of the Tanzanian mainland. Pemba is hilly, fertile and heavily vegetated, and is known for its voodoo and traditional healers.

Fundu Lagoon is a perfect counter piece to the country’s best safari lodges and camps. Set on the west coast of Pemba Island, it occupies a perfectly secluded spot. All rooms overlook the ocean – the whole place is tastefully designed, and the food and service are impeccable.

Fundu Lagoon Dive Resort

Fundu Lagoon is a new resort in the Indian Ocean, spread over 18 acres on the west coast of the island of Pemba, north of the Zanzibar mainland. Nestled into the secluded coastline of the Wamba peninsula a vast stretch of white sandy beach is overlooked only by the bungalows of the resort. Luxurious accommodation is specifically designed and handcrafted to blend with the natural environment of this lovely island. Each bungalow, either directly on the beach or on the ridge of the peninsula with superb views of the bay, has a balcony, an en-suite bathroom, fans and mini-bar. Deceptively simple yet utterly stylish furnishings are made from natural, local materials sourced and placed by Ellis Flyte, the designer, well known for her work within the Flyte Ostell Partnership. The complimentary skin care line designed by Flyte is almost worth the trip by itself!

A short walk from your bungalow takes you to the atmospheric restaurant and bar beneath a sweeping makuti (palm thatch) roof. High quality dishes utilize the fresh produce of the area and the emphasis is on superbly fresh seafood, yet delicious meat and vegetarian dishes are prepared with equal care. The Jetty Bar is a stunning setting for party people to see in the small hours.

Diving is almost the raison d'etre of Fundu Lagoon and the Dive 7 10 diving centre allows you to enjoy the fabulously dramatic and exciting coral reefs that surround Pemba and that have earned it a place on the list of the top dive spots in the world. The lush coral gardens teeming with are also wonderful for snorkelling. The lovely beach, the warm blue waters of the Indian Ocean, the relaxing ambience all make Fundu Lagoon the perfect place to wash away the cares of everyday life.
