Fumba Beach Lodge, Fumba, Zanzibar - Explore & Book

"Set in 40 acres of lush wilderness, Fumba is truly gorgeous. Winding sandy paths fringed with hibiscus, frangipani and bougainvillea take you around the hotel, from the swimming pool to the dhow boat beach bar, to the spacious, comfortable rooms and to the hotel’s superb dive centre and spa. It's not over-the-top Versace luxury, though. While the accommodation is attractive, the real luxury is nature in all its tropical glory. Blue, blue skies in the day; galaxies of stars at night; birds and butterflies flitting between trees in flower. Rare Columbus monkeys peer down from the tress, tiny elephant shrews rustle in the shrubs, and bush babies come out to feed at dusk.Wander around and you’ll discover lots of cool little places to soak up the surroundings: viewing platforms scattered with cushions, hammocks swaying from palm trees and wooden steps leading up around an ancient Baobab tree to a the ultimate secret sundowner spot. It doesn’t get much better than this. When such a setting is complemented with good food and drink, quality diving and a divine spa, you’re close to paradise. Be warned - you'll find you never want to leave... Highs On-site dive centre - the perfect place to do your PADIGorgeous beach bar with fresh tapas and good wineThe informal atmosphere and friendly waiting staff help guests to chill outSailing on the dhow for a BBQ picnic on nearby uninhabited islandsFabulous spa with a range of massages and treatments Lows Service at reception can be slowWhilst the beach is lovely, it doesn't have the postcard-perfect white sand of east ZanzibarExpect rustic-chic rather than sleek stylingIt's very popular with families - a high if you have kids, but worth knowing if you don't" - Rachel Hamada

The hotel was fantastic. We had a room overlooking the sea. The rooms were very spacious and clean. Everything you need was available, tea/ coffee, water, gowns, soaps.|The terrace was lovely to sit on with comfy chairs.|The food was delicious and varied. I am vegetarian and the choice was great.|The pool area and bar had a lovely relaxed atmosphere.|We also went on the boat trip organised by the hotel, to another island. We did snorkelling and had a lovely lunch on the island. Highly recommend.|The staff were really friendly and helpful, especially Sharon.|Hope to return one day!

My wife and I completed our safaris and flew over to Zanzibar, looking for some peace and quiet after the excitement of the safaris. We certainly found it at Fumba Beach. We’ve been around the world but this place has something very special about it which makes it an outstanding place to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. You can spend a long time just looking at the colours of the sea as the tide changes. Mesmerising, particularly when you watch the sea food pickers and the dhow crews getting ready to sail. As the sun goes down, it’s a delight to sit with a cocktail before dinner and admire the glorious sunsets. The rustic settings somehow add to the magic and make the place even more attractive, as do the individual lodges. You look forward to watching the monkeys come down from the trees to put on a show, which everyone found amusing.|The staff are so pleasant and willing to help. Housekeeping is spot on and service in the restaurant and bar is outstanding. Food is really good but it might be an idea to put some of the lunchtime items on the evening menu. I had the best battered calamari I’ve ever had, but only at lunchtime. |It’s not often you can say there is something magical about a hotel/ lodge, but this place has that magical feel. We’ve been back two days and miss it already.

After an exciting but tiring Safari it was nice to really relax at Fumba Beach Lodge. Our luxury suite overlooked the ocean with direct access to the beach (less than 15 yards away). We had our beach beds . The room was very spacious and rustic. The hot outdoor showers were fantastic. The set-up of Fumba caters for relaxation with a swimming pool to cool down and at sundown a cocktail and laughter while you chat with the other guests, bar staff and manager/owner. A pole pole approach suited us and the fact that there was no wifi or tv in our room was perfect. Most evenings we were treated to a fantastic sunset. The staff are very friendly and helpful. If you are willing to try and say a few words in Swahili you will get a big smile in return. The lodge can organise a number of excursion for you and will gladly liaise with the local providers if there are any queries or issues. I thoroughly recommend Fumba Beach Lodge and Sharon and her team will make your experiences memorable one.

I, together with a girlfriend had the opportunity to spend 4 nights in Fumba Beach Lodge, this beautiful place on earth. This is definitely a place to relax and enjoy lazy days. Waking up to the sound of waves crashing against the beach. The area is equipped with observation points along the beach to rest and enjoy the view of the sea. The staff at the lodge were pleasant, welcoming and helpful, and the food was delicious. Sharon was keen to ensure that the guests were comfortable during their stay. Edwin in his favorite seat at the "happy hour" bar entertained the guests with his jokes. This is a place I will return to and highly recommend.

Individual/semi detached lodges within garden or beach front setting. We had a garden setting and enjoyed watching the Colobus monkeys play, elephant shrews and many birds and butterflies whilst we sat on our terrace.||The staff are so helpful and always have a happy smile. The manager, Sharon, comes round every evening to make sure you have everything you need. A taxi into Stone Town is 25 minute drive. The Lodge offer tours at reasonable prices.

I have wanted to visit Zanzibar for such a long time and chose Fumba Beach Lodge over the many other hotels available on this beautiful island.|I booked directly and any queries I had were dealt with promptly by either Edwin or Sharon the owners.|Their passion to provide an everlasting memory for their guests was so evident. The accommodation was stunning. I chose a beach front lodge which was literally on the beach where you can lay in bed listening to the waves and shower under the stars. |The bed was so comfortable and possibly the biggest bed I have ever slept in.|What I really loved was it felt like it had always been here. The accommodation, the lounges and all the different nooks for reading and just relaxing were all in keeping with the surroundings. No plastic loungers here. Everything has been sourced locally.|Everyone who works here clearly enjoys their job, nothing was too much trouble.|The hotel is located away from it all but they offer a number of trips if you need a change of scenery. This hotel is about taking time out so if your after load music and parties then this will not be for you but for those that want to switch off and be well looked after this is the perfect hotel for you.|The food is exceptional, so much so I thanked the chef personally one night.|I have never returned to hotel I’ve stayed at but if I need time out this would be my first choice.

Excellent relaxing hotel on the west coast only 25 mins from Stone Town.||The special part of this hotel is that the nature is preserved - every time you see monkeys and elephant shrews amongst the extensive and natural grounds.||There is a nature walk in the hotel grounds if you go looking for it. ||The beach is nice and you can swim in the ocean. ||They do a really nice boat / snorkelling trip to a more quiet island than the commercial company nearby. Food on a deserted tropical island - what’s not to like.||Hotel is very relaxing - no loud music and crowded beach with hawkers.
