Chumbe Island Coral Park Lodge

Overlooked by its landmark historic lighthouse, about 12km south of Zanzibar Town, Chumbe is a real island getaway combining style, exclusivity and environmental benefits. Accommodation is in 'eco-bungalows' with local decor, solar power, rainwater collection, ocean views and a loft sleeping area that opens to the stars. Activities include forest walks, diving or snorkelling on the reef, and just lounging.
