“Tranquility, Beauty, and Outstanding Service at Fumba Beach Lodge”
I had visited Zanzibar before, but only explored the northern beaches. This was my first time in the South, and it’s just as breathtaking! What truly made my stay unforgettable, however, was the exceptional hospitality at Fumba Beach Lodge. From the moment I booked to the day I left, the staff were warm, attentive, and consistently helpful - they went above and beyond at every step. The lodge itself is both stunning and tranquil, nestled in a setting that invites rest and reflection. I was fortunate to be there for work, and it turned out to be the perfect place to write and recharge. Without a doubt, I’ll be staying at Fumba Beach Lodge again the next time I visit Zanzibar.

“Gorgeous place, with a couple of reservartions”
As is often the case in Tanzania, all staff were very professional and friendly. The design of the site is spectacular, especially for the incorporation of natural features such as a magnificent baobab tree. The pool and surrounding area is beautiful. Zanzibari decorative elements are very creative. A small but appreciated detail, the space between the bed an mosquito netting. (You don’t wake up with your face against the net.) The forested area is small, but very worth a walk. We appreciate that this space was left as it is.

“Baobab Charm”
-The 800 year old Baobab tree( at least 4 m wide) is the show piece. Has built in lookout with view of sea -The lush and shady gardens full of trees. -The spaciousness between bungalows, . No bungalow is in front of another, so even Villas in the second line have sea view through trees. -The monkeys who make the surrounding forest their home. Quite delightful if not a little mischievous when they come through the resort. -The staff are all lovely from reception to security. Asant sana to all. Thanks to Jeanette for her morning Jambo greetings and for providing extra shower gel before we even knew we needed it. -The manager who check ups on every guest at dinner time with a quick chat. -The absolutely stunning dressing gowns, in different African designs, available for sale. -The many lounging spots dotted around the resort.

Fumba Beach Lodge is the closest place to paradise that I have ever experienced. For all those who cherish nature, calm and serenity, this is the place to go. Party people, stay away. By keeping wi-fi areas to a minimum, it really helps being in the moment and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The 4 course menu proposed in the evening is also very good. If possible, try to have a room in the first line in front of the sea, it is really worth it.

“Little bit of paradise”
Beautiful accommodation particularly the gardens. Clean, comfortable, professional and friendly staff. Breakfast was great. Good selection for lunch. Dinner was also good quality but limited choice (set menu) and quite expensive. Lots of options for tours and activities, the team were super helpful in arranging bespoke options for me too. The snorkeling was great. The spa was heavenly. I will definitely be back.
