Fundu Lagoon is a remote and peaceful resort on Pemba Island, accessible only by boat. Wooden walkways and sandy paths lead to 16 Makuti-thatched, tented rooms and suites, each wonderfully private and offering stunning views.

This is ‘shabby chic’ at its best, with private super-size plunge pools, three bars, an excellent restaurant and a beautiful infinity swimming pool thrown into the bargain. The completely private and intimate Superior Suites feature a separate sitting area and for those seeking that little bit of extra intimate, indulgence can take advantage of a room attendant service between 8am and 6pm. The resort was described in the Sunday Telegraph as “the closest thing to a tropical paradise I’ve ever visited”.
