Manta Resort

Pemba


Superbly situated on the beach at the northern end of the Kigomasha Peninsula, this relaxed and well-appointed resort sits on a small escarpment with perfect ocean views. Accommodation is in spacious cottages, on the seafront or in the garden, all with uncluttered decor and private terrace. For total privacy – at least from humans – try the glass-walled offshore underwater room (US$1500).

Facilities include spa, swimming pool, beach bar and deck-fronting idyllic sunsets. Activities focus on diving (there's an on-site dive centre) while kayaks and dhow cruises are also available.
