Blue Bay Beach Resort
Blue Bay Beach Resort is one of the most modern hotels on the island. They are fairly large with all the activities and the let down of Blue Bay is their close proximity to all other hotels in the Kiwengwa area. An absolutely awesome stretch of beach unfortunately houses some 5 large hotels and Blue Bay is almost in the middle of them. That being said, the hotel is fantastic and it is run and owned by hoteliers from Kenya and they have really got the hotel business together.
The rooms are tastefully decorated in an East African style with all the room facilities you may require and the rooms are all situated away from the sea in bungalow style with magnificent sea views. The meals are fully prepared by their French Chef, who really knows how to prepare an excellent mouth-watering meal.
The service is impeccable with staff literally smiling at you all the time and the water facilities are all state –of-the-art and they most probably have the most hi-tech boat on Zanzibar which they use to take the guests out diving.

Excursions and Short Tours

Pemba Island
The main attraction in Pemba is the surrounding coral reefs and the islands are becoming famous for the spectacular sun and sea adventure scuba diving and snorkeling.For much of its history, Pemba has been overshadowed by Zanzibar Island, its larger and more politically powerful neighbour to the south.
Although the two islands are only separated by about 50km of water, relatively few tourists make their way across the channel to Pemba, but those who do are seldom disappointed.
However as the island is so remote it is important to realize that facilities( hotels, roads, transport etc) on Pemba are not as developed as they are in Zanzibar.Its not that there are no historic sites to visit, or a lack of good beaches, because there are plenty of these and the island.
Fundu Lagoon Beach Resort
Fundu Lagoon is a new resort in the Indian Ocean and is spread over 18 acres on the west coast of the island of Pemba, north of the Zanzibar mainland.Nestled into the secluded, undiscovered coastline of the Wambaa Peninsular and the location boasts 4.5 kilometers of white, sandy beach.
The resort comprises 20 bungalows, two bars and a restaurant with modern-eco feel, specifically designed and handicrafted to blend with the natural environment of this fertile isle.
They offer luxury accommodation either directly on the beach or high on the ridge of the peninsular, all with superb sweeping views of the bay. Each room has a private balcony and en-suite bathroom and the furnishings are stylishly simple throughout and made from natural, local materials. They provide what we feel is the ideal environment for a relaxing break, or a sun drenched honeymoon on the beach.
Now listed as one of the top diving locations in the World, they also cater for the more energetic holiday-maker with a fully-equipped PADI diving Center and a wide range of water-sports including snorkeling, sailing, fishing, water-skiing and kayaking.

Kilindi Zanzibar
Kilindi - A True Traveller's Choice
Kilindi Zanzibar is a rarity in the world of luxury boutique hotels. Originally designed for Benny Andersson, one of the members of the world famous Abba pop music group, Kilindi is a true blend of the very best of diverse cultures to be found in Tanzania and on the adjacent island of Zanzibar.
The concept behind Kilindi's original design was that of Scandinavian minimalism mixed with the dramatic architectural overtones so evident in Middle Eastern heritage. White wooden-slatted shutters embrace wide-arched glassless windows that afford spectacular views over the Indian Ocean. This 'open-to-nature' approach to Kilindi's design provides the true essence to any stay.
Detailed interiors have now been added to subtley enhance those diverse cultural inferences, but without detracting from the 'barefoot appeal' of this traveller's paradise.
The Main Pavilion
A falling water bar overlooks a large 25-metre infinity pool which itself affords views out across the sparkling warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Dining takes place either on the alfresco terrace or even along the pristine white beach, which runs the length of the property.
The Pavilions - Simple Perfection.
15 eastern-styled domed Pavilions nestling amongst a 50-acre tropical garden are the perfect and intimate retreats for each and every guest.
The Pavilions have their very own private plunge pool, and possess extraordinary 'wet rooms' with radiance showers that truly give the feeling of being at one with nature.
The interiors of Kilindi remain faithful to past whilst contemporary features proving the perfect partner.
Intimacy, Privacy and Tranquility
With each Pavilion set in its own private tropical gardens and served by a dedicated Butler, privacy is guaranteed. It is this dedicated Butler who will offer you a wide selection of places to enjoy your breakfast, lunch and dinner. And should our guests wish to leave the oasis of tranquility and calm of their private Pavilion, the Butler can help, advise and arrange as to the many activities and excursions that Kilindi and the island can offer.
A Pure Retreat for Couples
Kilindi Zanzibar is certainly a rarity and one that will reward all those who venture to experience all that it has to offer. A favourite with honeymooners and lovers, any stay at Kilindi will become both the memory of a lifetime, but the standard to surpass.
