Overview

Nestled in the southwest of this exquisite island, Fumba Beach Lodge is situated only 30 minutes’ drive from Zanzibar's

International airport in Stone Town. 26 whitewashed Zanzibari style en-suite bungalows with their own verandas are

scattered along the beach ensuring private views of the ocean. Three naturally formed coves protect the beaches around

the lodge and provide seclusion and tranquility. In the open-air restaurant, you can enjoy the exquisitely prepared fresh

seafood along with a tantalizing array of international and local dishes. For day time excitement you can choose scuba

diving, snorkeling, kayaking, Stone Town tours and lots more. Or just relax at the swimming pool or on the beach under

the branches of the baobab and do nothing. With the personalized warm service of our Zanzibar staff and the tranquil

atmosphere, Fumba Beach Lodge will fulfil all your dreams.

Dining options

Guests can also dine in a restaurant onsite. Formal open-air Restaurant & fully stocked Bar overlooking the beach with a terrace around the pool, serving international and local cuisine.  After a long day guests might rest in the onsite bar. Dhow beach bar with happy hour.

    relaxing atmosphere
    murky water

    A serene escape

    Spent 3 nights here and loved the laid-back vibe. The views from the beachfront rooms are gorgeous! The in-room breakfast was a nice touch, and the staff were super friendly and attentive. One hiccup was the murky water when the tide came in, not ideal for swimming. Still, a lovely spot to recharge.

    gorgeous sunsets

    Consider requesting larger dinner portions if you're a hearty eater, as the sizes may vary. The happy hour cocktails are fantastic, but be prepared for a wait.

    breathtaking sunsets
    friendly staff
    limited wifi
    expensive tours

    What’s great and what’s not

    The stunning sunsets and peaceful ambiance make it a nature lover's dream, while the warm and welcoming staff contribute significantly to the stay. Dining experiences like the 4-course menu are delightful.

    The limited Wi-Fi access can be frustrating, especially for those needing connectivity. the cost of organized day tours was disappointingly high compared to the experience.

    beautiful views
    well-maintained gardens

    perfectly placed for easy access to nearby attractions and parks

    staying at this lodge felt like paradise, with amazing views and well-maintained gardens just steps away from the beach. It's only a short walk to nearby attractions like Blue Safari, making it easy to explore the beauty of the area.

    luxurious bandas
    snorkelling trip
    ocean views
    dinner portion sizes

    The luxurious bandas with ensuite bathrooms were perfect for families, offering stunning ocean views and private terraces to soak up the tropical vibes. We had a fantastic snorkelling trip arranged by the lodge, exploring the beautiful marine life right from our beach. We even brought our pet along!

    My kids wished for larger dinner portions to satisfy their growing appetites.

    huge bed
    outdoor shower
    daily cleaning
    cold breeze
    open door

    I stayed in a Deluxe Double Room, and it was super comfy. The bed was huge, like seriously massive, and the bathroom had an outdoor shower that was awesome. The place was cleaned daily, which made it feel fresh. We had a great view through the trees, but at night it got a bit chilly with the wind blowing in from the open door. Maybe a curtain would help? Otherwise, it was a great spot to unwind and enjoy the tranquility.

    majestic baobab

    Serene, Stunning, Serene

    This place felt like a dream! The breathtaking views of the turquoise ocean from my Deluxe Double Room made waking up a pure joy. I found myself enchanted by the beautiful gardens and the majestic 800-year-old Baobab tree, which offered a unique backdrop for my stay.

    stunning views
    delightful atmosphere
    aged bathroom
    limited wi-fi
    lack of fruit variety

    The beauty of the surroundings is unparalleled, with a stunning 800-year-old Baobab tree providing a unique focal point amidst lush gardens. The monkeys wandering through added a delightful touch to the experience, keeping the atmosphere lively. the bathroom facilities showed signs of age, needing a facelift, and the limited Wi-Fi might hinder those needing to stay connected. Despite a commendable menu, a greater variety of fresh fruits would enhance the dining experience further.

    attentive staff

    As a couple, I loved the stunning views from our Deluxe Double Room. The pool area was beautiful, surrounded by lush gardens. The 800-year-old Baobab tree added unique charm. Staff were attentive, providing excellent service. It was a fantastic retreat for relaxation. 🌅

    The ocean-facing cottages are beautifully decorated and nestled within a lush tropical forest, providing a unique experience where monkeys and local wildlife frequently visit. The beach, mere steps away from the cottages, offers a peaceful escape, perfect for unwinding with the sound of waves in the background.

    Unfortunately, the rooms lack actual windows, making nighttime animal noises rather intrusive, disrupting sleep more than once. The set 3-course dinner menu left a lot to be desired compared to other options around Zanzibar, which could become a drag if you're looking to indulge. The lack of complimentary water and the occasional need for mosquito spray can be a hassle. if you're sensitive to chemicals or prefer tidiness, this might not sit well with you. the online wifi is limited to common areas and doesn't work reliably, which can be a pain if you need to stay connected.

    Superb staff who were friendly and attentive! (Simba the dog was a charming companion during beach runs! ) The dining experience had a delightful local flavor, especially the live music nights.

    Accommodation lacked actual windows, leading to loud animal noises at night.

    exquisite centerpiece
    spacious lounging areas
    food portion sizes
    menu variety

    The lush gardens and spacious lounging areas felt like a dreamland, especially with the beautiful baobab tree serving as an exquisite centerpiece. Accessing our room was effortless, making it welcoming for seniors needing a little extra ease.

    More variety in food portion sizes would be lovely.
