Fundu Lagoon is situated on Pemba Island, which is part of the Zanzibar archipelago and lays to the north of its larger, better known sister island, Unguja. The hotel is located on a remote and beautiful beach on the south western side of Pemba, and is only accessible by boat.

There are 18 rooms, consisting of canvas tents set under makuti or thatch roofs on wooden decks, all with views over the sea. The rooms are equipped with large double or twin beds, mosquito nets, ceiling and standing fans, and both indoor and outdoor seating areas.

The rooms are connected to the main buildings by wooden walkways or paths through indigenous forest. Some rooms are situated along the beachfront and the remaining on the hillside, which have wide views over the lagoon.

The Indian Ocean that surrounds Pemba features some of the best snorkelling and diving sites in the world. Shallow coral lagoons drop off to spectacular depths supporting a vast range of marine life. Dive 710 is honoured to be a 'PADI 5-star Dive Resort'. We are committed to sharing the thrill and excitement of Pemba's rich diving diversity as well as conserving the natural marine life in the area. Dive 710 is staffed by an experienced team that has vast local knowledge about the area and our powerful dive boats ensure that all the sites of Pemba are within easy reach.

Fundu Lagoon has everything you need to enjoy the Indian Ocean, from wakeboarding to windsurfing, kayaking or simply strolling along the peaceful shoreline where it is lovely to watch the Mamas and kids collecting clams or just passing by...if you are lucky, you might see the local fishermen bringing in their daily catch. Nearby there is a paradise beach at Misali Island, a short boat trip away and inside the protected marine conservation area. The only disturbance to these white sand beaches is by green and hawksbill turtles. It is an ideal and relaxing day out with palm trees fringing the white sands and offering shady picnic spots. The warm turqoise shallows are ideal for snorkelling amongst the brightly coloured reef fish.
