A privately owned lodge offering well-priced, luxury accommodation
Location: Fumba Beach Lodge sits on a quiet peninsula within the Menai Bay Conservation Area, a protected region known for its marine biodiversity and scenic beauty. Just a short drive from Stone Town, it feels blissfully remote yet conveniently accessible. The lodge is surrounded by 40 acres of wild coastal gardens and untouched shoreline – perfect for those seeking nature and tranquillity.
Rooms: There are 26 spacious, palm-thatched rooms scattered throughout the grounds, most with ocean views and private terraces. Four deluxe suites add a touch of luxury with rooftop terraces and open-air bathtubs overlooking the sea. Interiors are stylish yet understated, designed with natural materials and a sense of calm, making them suitable for couples, families or solo travellers.
Amenities: Dining takes place in an open-air restaurant, with a focus on fresh seafood, Swahili specialities and international favourites. The Baobab Spa offers a full range of treatments including massages, scrubs and facials, while a large beachfront pool provides a scenic spot to cool off and unwind.
Activities: The on-site Blue World Dive Centre runs daily PADI-certified diving trips to vibrant reefs. Snorkelling, kayaking and dhow cruises are also available. On land, guests can explore local villages, take spice tours, visit Stone Town or head to Jozani Forest to spot endangered Red Colobus monkeys.
Sustainability: Located in a marine conservation area, Fumba Beach Lodge works to protect local ecosystems and wildlife, particularly through its dive centre and community engagement. The use of natural materials, local sourcing and eco-friendly design helps reduce its environmental footprint while supporting surrounding communities.
