Black Pepper Beach Holiday

Beautiful sunsets, excellent diving opportunities and utter relaxation await you at Pemba Island’s Fundu Lagoon. Enjoy a remote beach experience with varied activities on a quiet stretch of tropical island.

Black Pepper Beach Holiday: Summary

Black Pepper Beach Holiday in a nutshell

Pemba is Zanzibar island’s rustic, sleepy counterpart, situated just off its north-east coast. Comparatively underdeveloped, the accommodation on Pemba offers guests a more secluded experience, where picturesque white beaches and azure waters can stretch on uninterrupted for miles.

Fundu Lagoon is one such destination, offering guests a rustic, remote and luxurious oasis. The accommodation itself is picturesque, with all relaxation areas and rooms designed to face the sea. Whilst often favoured by honeymooners, Fundu Lagoon attracts a friendly, sociable crowd which is much enjoyed by families, groups and solo travellers alike.

With a fully equipped PADI dive center and team of qualified staff on hand, guest’s can enjoy the conservation area’s beautiful coral reefs with diving or snorkelling excursions. Other activities may include kayaking through the mangrove forests, deep-sea fishing or dolphin watching, and as Fundu Lagoon is notably involved with the local community, you may also get to meet those from nearby villages in an informative cultural experience.

Whether you combine Fundu Lagoon with other Zanzibar beach destinations, a contrasting safari in Tanzania, or visit as a standalone destination, you will be sure to enjoy a peaceful break in this tropical region.

Fundu Lagoon

Days 1-8

Fundu Lagoon is a beautiful and peaceful beach lodge, set into a tropical forest on the west side of Pemba Island. Part of the Zanzibar archipelago, the rural island of Pemba is one of Zanzibar Island's close neighbours, yet in comparison it sees very little tourism. As a result, it is relatively untouched and offers the visitor a more remote beach experience.
