Two of our chalets are beachside suites with their own private chillout decks and plunge pools and there are also two superior suites.

Days here revolve around the boating activities although the treatment room is well worth a visit, where one can choose from a long and tempting list of rejuvenating treatments. One can choose to relax in the pontoon bar or stroll around the beautiful mangroves along the shore. The waters of the Indian Ocean are among the richest and most exciting in the world. Around Fundu Lagoon, on Pemba Island and in the Pemba Channel, the ocean is renowned in both Scuba Diving and Fishing circles as one of the world’s best. This is truly a great venue for diving and relaxing therafter - the food is remarkably good - and should certainly be on every underwater enthusiast’s horizon.
