Barefoot luxury on Pemba Island

## Profile

Remote and peaceful, Fundu Lagoon has a distinct Robinson Crusoe air with
charming rustic buildings nestling on the shore of the Indian Ocean, shaded by
thatched roofs made from sundried coconut palms. While crowds flock to Zanzibar, few have heard of the Pemba island, her little
sister to the north, which remains largely undeveloped.

Living up to the ‘Spice
Islands’ nickname, cloves form a major part of the local economy. Magic is
also embedded in the culture, with ju-ju witch doctors providing medicine and
social cohesion.
Only accessible by boat, the resort extends along a natural beach, where the
lush jungle meets the sea.

## Profile

Fundu Lagoon’s staff are almost all from the local villages and bush babies, vervet monkeys and dolphins also call Pemba home. Whether relaxing by the infinity pool, wandering along the shore and watching local women collect seaweed for the beauty industry, kayaking through the mangroves or admiring the pristine coral gardens around nearby Misali island, days here can be as relaxed or fun-filled as you make them.

A consistent winner of the Good Safari Guide ‘Best Marine Safari’ Award, Fundu Lagoon smoothly continues the safari experience for those arriving from the bush, as well as being a standalone destination for couples seeking a romantic bolthole or familes and friends seeking a place to unwind and switch off.

## Quick facts
