On one of Zanzibar’s most secluded beaches is a luxurious, imaginative, peaceful hideaway. Set on forty acres of 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. Fumba peninsula is designated an area of outstanding natural beauty since 1998, by the World Wild Life Federation.
Fumba Beach Lodge offers well-designed elegance, with friendly first class service. Just 30 minutes from the capital, Stone Town, the lodge is away from busy tourist areas, a perfect venue for enjoying tranquillity, and the space to dream, swim, dive, walk amongst tropical gardens, or have that special romantic occasion in one of the many secluded spots. There are ample opportunities to dine- in a range of environments, with legendary food prepared by trained chefs.
Set in forty acres of exquisite wilderness: tropical forests, secluded protected beaches, there are twenty six spacious ensuite rooms; twenty are deluxe ‘bandas’ with ensuite bathroom, terrace, stunning ocean view, suitable for families or couples. Four are luxury suites, and there are two baobab suites. All of our rooms have king size double beds, mosquito nets, fans, top-quality imported bed linen and quilts for the very occasional chilly nights.
Using the best ingredients which flourish under the African sun: fresh herbs, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, cauliflower, courgettes, aubergines and carrots, and the most sun ripened succulent tomatoes you have ever tasted. All herbs and vegetables come straight from our own vegetable garden. Here on the Fumba Peninsula we have some of the most fertile soils on Zanzibar, giving us the most amazing, sweet, ripe tropical fruits: mangos, bananas, coconuts, jackfruits, passion fruit, and oranges. Right on our doorstep from the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, our neighbors, the fisherman catch the most succulent tunas snappers, barracuda’s lobsters, prawns, and crabs. All of this fresh produce and seafood is delivered to us on a daily basis, and has been for many years now.
Fishing and snorkel excursions
Fishing includes a beautiful troll with professional deep sea fishing equipment across the Zanzibar Channel. Many of the local fish we catch include Spanish or King Mackerel, Trevelly, Tuna, and Barracuda. Snacks prepared by the Chefs and soft drinks are included.
Snorkeling trips are available for a half day including fruit and cake… just ask we customize our trips to fit your day. In August and September there are whales in the Menai Bay area: and we always look forward to a whale watching trip.
