Fumba Beach Lodge - A secluded beachfront property in a conservation area with private suites, spa services, and watersports
Fumba Beach Lodge operates as a 4-star property with 26 thatched cottages strung along a two-kilometre beach in the Menai Bay Conservation Area. Accommodations include 20 deluxe bandas with ensuite bathrooms and private terraces offering ocean or garden views, plus four luxury suites featuring king-size beds, ensuite bathrooms with baths, Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired outdoor showers, and private roof terraces with direct beach access. Two Baobab Suites are cradled around a 900-year-old baobab tree and include open-air bathrooms. All rooms contain tea/coffee facilities, mini-fridges, mosquito nets, safes, desks, fans, and laundry service. The onsite restaurant serves a three-course dinner menu typically featuring local fish prepared with European techniques and Zanzibari influences, using ingredients from the peninsula's fertile soil and nearby ocean. Leisure facilities include a watersports center offering PADI diving courses, kayak rentals, and snorkeling equipment, plus the Baobab Spa providing massages, body scrubs, facials, and pedicures using local spices and flowers. A large open-sided lounge/bar/dining area overlooks a pool surrounded by Zanzibari beds and hammocks. The lodge is located 20 km from Kisauni and 22.5 km south of Stone Town, with excursions available to historic sites, spice farms, and Jozani Forest. Guests can arrange a continental breakfast each morning at Fumba Beach Lodge.
