Fundu Lagoon, Pemba Island, Zanzibar, Africa
Fundu Lagoon, Pemba Island, Zanzibar
This barefoot bohemian island hideaway off the coast of Zanzibar (on unspoilt Pemba Island, Zanzibar's little known sister to the north) is the epitome of twenty-first century Robinson Crusoe shabby chic! Its laid-back charm is perfect for a post-safari chill-out – and what’s more, a stay at Fundu is all-inclusive ….as well as meals, soft drinks, house wines, local beers and use of snorkelling equipment, you can enjoy unguided mangrove canoe safaris and village treks. Pemba is known for its frequent sightings of migrating humpback whales between August and November and a resident pod of dolphins live in the waters offshore - pop out to see them on an early morning boat trip and then return for breakfast. Fundu is a top dive location too. Only accessible by boat (getting there is all part of the experience), Fundu Lagoon is spread along a natural beach where the jungle meets the sea.
Highlights
Sleep
Fundu is one of the most romantic retreats on the East African coastline. Wooden walkways and sandy paths lead to the 18 makuti-thatched tented rooms and suites - all of which enjoy breathtaking ocean views from their wooden deck. Some rooms are situated along the beachfront whilst others are on the hillside and catch the cooling sea breezes. There are two Suites - the Jungle Suite and Beachfront Suite, both of which have a private deck and plunge pool – plus four Superior Suites with more extensive indoor and outdoor living space, a larger plunge pool and a mezzanine viewing platform. Peace, calm and discreet privacy are paramount here.

Why Choose Turquoise?
Family Owned & Run
We are one of the few remaining family owned and run operators of our size. We have direct relationships with every single destination, island, resort and hotel we work with, in order to deliver exceptional and truly personalised service.
Our Passion Runs Deep
We are - and always have been - mad about travel. For almost 25 years we've been scouring the globe for the best places to stay, the newest routes to take, the perfect people to meet. No-one will care more about your holiday.
Definition of Luxury
Luxury means something different to everyone. Whether you are seeking the silence of vast spaces, the isolation of a private island, the buzz of a new city, the adrenaline of a safari or anything in between, we listen, we learn, we advise.
Fun & Refreshing
We endeavour that every Turquoise experience is unique, fun and refreshing. Travel is all about experiences, about serendipitous moments and endless smiles. It is a joy and an honour to plan each and every Turquoise holiday.
