Fundu Lagoon

Fundu Lagoon is the definition of barefoot ultra-luxury — a collection of thatched treehouse suites cascading down a forested hillside on Pemba's remote Wambaa Peninsula, accessible only by speedboat from Chake Chake. Each suite is elevated among the treetops with panoramic views across the Pemba Channel where dhows drift and dolphins breach at dawn. The resort's jetty leads to some of East Africa's finest dive sites, while the hilltop spa offers treatments surrounded by nothing but birdsong and ocean breeze. Candlelit dinners on the beach feature the day's catch prepared by a private chef, and the absence of televisions, clocks, and Wi-Fi in rooms ensures total disconnection.
