Fumba Beach Lodge: A Secluded Eco Retreat in Menai Bay
Fumba Beach Lodge is one of Zanzibar’s most secluded beach retreats, located on a private peninsula within the Menai Bay Conservation Area on the island’s south-west coast. Just 25km from Stone Town, the lodge offers guests a quiet, eco-conscious escape built around 26 free-standing cottages shaded by baobab trees and palms.
Accommodation ranges from Garden View and Sea View Rooms to Luxury Suites and the signature Baobab Suites — built directly around centuries-old baobab trees, each with its own outdoor shower opening onto the beach.
Dining, Diving & Beach Life at Fumba Beach Lodge
Guests can enjoy an open-air restaurant serving fresh seafood and local cuisine grown in the lodge’s own garden, a full spa using local spice-based treatments, and an on-site dive center offering scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, and kite surfing. The lodge sits on three sheltered private beaches inside a protected marine sanctuary.
