Fumba Beach Lodge
Fumba Beach Lodge stands as a declaration of refined tranquility, perfectly positioned along Zanzibar's pristine Fumba Peninsula, a mere 14 miles south of the historic Stone Town. From the moment you arrive, the vibrant scent of spices mingles with the salty air, guiding you through a tastefully decorated palm leaf arch adorned with fresh flowers from Fumba's lush garden, framing the breathtaking turquoise tropics of the Indian Ocean. The stunning lobby, basking in natural light, showcases handcrafted wooden furniture that introduces an inviting warmth. Here, the atmosphere is defined by a captivating fusion of local craftsmanship and contemporary elegance. As you explore deeper, you'll find an expansive lounge/dining room that opens seamlessly to a pool enveloped by Zanzibari beds and hammocks, epitomizing the laid-back luxury that defines Fumba. Dining here is an evocative experience-a three-course menu highlighting local fish infused with a delightful European flair, each bite a tribute to the sea that stretches beyond your view. Unique experiences await at every corner: unwind with a couples massage in the private spa, indulge in a whirlpool session in a baobab tree, or embark on a spice tour where fragrant farms reveal the intricacies of cloves, nutmeg, and vanilla. If relaxation is the goal, the private decks equipped with hammocks beckon you for a sun-soaked escape.
Explore the Local Area
Zanzibar is a tapestry of rich history and vibrant culture, and Fumba Beach Lodge serves as an ideal gateway for exploration. The nearby town market and historical landmarks-the Old Slave Market, House of Wonders, and Livingstone's House-chronicle the island's storied past. Those interested in biodiversity will find the Zala Conservation Park a fascinating nearby attraction, showcasing indigenous wildlife and the unparalleled beauty of the Fumba Peninsula, designated an area of outstanding natural beauty since 1998. The renowned Blue Safari adventure offers the opportunity to dive among colorful reef fish and spectacular coral formations, while easy access to Stone Town, just 30 minutes away, allows for a seamless exploration of Zanzibar's magnificent architecture and ancient culture. For ease of travel, Kisauni Airport lies a convenient 20 kilometers from the lodge, ensuring that guests have swift access to both adventure and relaxation.
