Tucked away on an unspoilt island in the Indian Ocean, Funzi Keys’ unique appeal is its luxurious seclusion and beautiful natural scenery.

This award-winning resort blends unobtrusively into the idyllic beachfront setting; nine spacious cottages are constructed of stone and thatch, with large netted windows open to the balmy sea breezes. Awaiting you are hand-carved, king-size, four-poster beds, jacuzzis, and local wooden artefacts. Opening onto the beach, the airy rooms are thoughtfully equipped with fans, a fully stocked cool box and in the spacious en-suite bathroom a supply of sun-creams and beach accessories. Each west facing room opens onto a sanded seating area with spectacular sea views, perfect for enjoying a ‘sundowner’ and soaking up the African sunset.

The main building is a stylish sanctuary of relaxation with sofas and large cushions. You can enjoy a refreshing aperitif at the bar while your delicious meal is prepared, and even have a bonfire beach dinner.

If you can summon the energy you can try your hand at creek-fishing, sailing, windsurfing and canoeing, or take a boat trip up the Funzi Creek.
