Every morning at 7am, we have "Snorkelling for Conservation", where one of our trained guides will take you for a snorkel. A 100% the proceeds of this activity goes directly to the Blue Alliance, our conservation partner, to protect the reefs around Pemba.

Venture into our pristine Marine Protected Area (MPA) right in front of Manta! Guests can immerse themselves in the vibrant underwater world through snorkelling and encounter an abundance of marine life amidst the crystal-clear turquoise waters and powdery white sands.

It's a sanctuary for nature enthusiasts and ocean lovers alike, offering an unforgettable glimpse into the wonders of the Indian Ocean.

One complimentary treatment per person per day, included in all stays
The Kipepeo Spa sits close to the beach, open to the sound of the waves and rustling palms.

One treatment per person per day is included in every stay, with guests choosing from the following options:

Traditional sailing on a local outrigger vessel

A ngalawa is the traditional sailing vessel used by fishermen on Pemba Island. Departing from the beach around 5:00 pm, the cruise follows the shoreline over the reef as the sun sets over the Pemba Channel. A bottle of sparkling wine is included. One of the most memorable ways to end a day on the island.

Included once per stay

Located at the northern tip of the island, the lighthouse offers incredible panoramic views of Pemba.

Just a 20-minute walk from Manta, your service fundi will accompany you.
There’s no charge, except for a $5 entrance fee if you choose to climb the lighthouse and take a tour with the operator, who proudly shares his knowledge in nine languages, continuing a family tradition passed down for generations.

PADI 5-Star dive centre operating from the resort

Pemba Island offers some of the most spectacular diving in the Indian Ocean, with near-vertical wall drop-offs, vibrantly healthy shallow reefs, and water visibility regularly reaching 30–40 metres. Dive 360 Pemba, the on-site PADI 5-Star dive centre, operates across nine named sites ranging from sheltered shallow reefs suitable for beginners to deep-water walls and sea-mount systems for experienced divers. Water temperature averages 26°C year-round. Courses from Discover Scuba Diving through to Rescue Diver are available.

Available at additional cost

At low tide, a sandbank protrudes to offer a walk on the purest white coral sand. The perfect beach to relax on, surrounded by azure blue waters.

The excursion relies heavily on the tides, currents, and weather conditions and is not always possible.

A cooler box of fruits and refreshments is brought along. This is a 15 minute boat ride from the resort on the most northern point of Pemba Island.

The Zanzibar islands are known as the ‘spice islands’, with 70% of the world’s cloves coming from Pemba.

A visit to the spice farm will have you experiencing the true tastes and smells of Pemba Island. This is followed by a walk through the Ngezi Rainforest for about 45 minutes. A protected reserve home to endemic bird species, vervet and black colobus monkeys.
