The first is Fundu Lagoon, a deluxe mid-range Beach Tier 2 resort, located on the southwest section of the island affording a highly personalized and intimate boutique experience for discerning guests.



Sited in the northwestern region of the island is the Manta Resort, a value Beach Tier 3, most suited to the travelers who are more restricted on their budget while touring Pemba Island and are willing to make do with comfortable living spaces, wholesome meals and friendly service. The beach at Manta Resort is also better than at Fundu Lagoon; though the service and quality of accommodation Fundu Lagoon exceeds and makes up the difference.

On your Tier 2 stay at Fundu Lagoon, you can expect exceptional living spaces, sumptuous meals and bespoke services where your every requirement is wisely catered to (read more on why you should visit Pemba). The resort has a collection of 18 tented rooms each offering distinct vistas of the Indian Ocean. Choose from rooms in three specifications. The Standard Rooms and Suites can each sleep up to 3 AfricanMecca guests and are located somewhat higher up the hill.
