Where to Stay in Pemba Island
Resorts, hotels, and accommodation options in Pemba Island
Accommodation Overview
Accommodation on Pemba Island ranges from exclusive eco-lodges like Fundu Lagoon and the Manta Resort to mid-range properties like Pemba Lodge. The island's limited tourism infrastructure means accommodation options are fewer but often more exclusive than Zanzibar. The Manta Resort is famous for its underwater room, while Fundu Lagoon offers luxury tented accommodation on a remote beach. Pemba Lodge provides comfortable mid-range rooms near Chake Chake with easy access to the channel dive sites. The Aiyana Resort offers premium hilltop accommodation with ocean views. Advance booking is essential during the diving season as the limited room inventory fills quickly. The exclusive nature of Pemba's accommodation reflects the island's positioning as a premium diving destination for experienced divers seeking uncrowded world-class channel diving.
