Set on one of Zanzibar’s most secluded beaches - Fumba Beach Lodge is located in the Menai beach conservation area.
Fumba beach peninsula is both a large marine haven and an eco-project. The essence of Fumba is privacy, relaxation, serenity, excellence and attention to detail.
Just 30 minutes from Stone Town the lodge is away from busy tourist areas, offering a perfect venue for enjoying tranquility and the space to dream, swim, dive and walk amongst tropical gardens.
Next to Fumba Lodge is the Fumba Village - the villagers helped build the lodge. Some villagers are still employed by the lodge and guests can ask at reception to be shown around the village.
Fumba Lodge has a football team which regularly plays friendly games with the villagers. The lodge provides support to the local schools and small businesses and contributes to the village by employing and training the local people.
Set in forty acres of tropical forest and secluded protected beaches nestle 26 spacious ensuite rooms. All the rooms have king size beds, mosquito nets, fans, top-quality imported bed linen and quilts for the very occasional chilly nights.
