This 3-star hotel offers an ATM and a tour desk. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi. Amazing location, felt like we were the only tourists on this beautiful island filled with spectacular nature. It was really good to see tides in action in this remote location, away from tourist-filled main island of Zanzibar.

Pemba Lodge is an eco-friendly resort offering bungalows made out of recycled boats and natural local materials. Each one is has a secluded location in the large garden and has direct access to the beach. Location is simply stunning - and beautifully quiet. Nature at its very best. The lodges were very simple and perfect for the location. We were supremely well looked after by Adam and his team. The food was all local, fresh and beautifully cooked. Pemba Lodge really is one of a kind if you are looking for a simple, natural getaway. A truly amazing place!

Facing the beachfront, Lala lodge Pemba Zanzibar offers 1-star accommodation in Mgini and features a garden, private beach area and restaurant. The hotel also provides free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. Lala Lodge was very welcoming and relaxed. The location on the water front provides excellent opportunities for watching the dhows, fishing boats and ferries. Dennis our host is an excellent cook - his fresh grilled fish is superb - and we enjoyed his stories and lots of good conversation. Dennis and Suleiman will organise anything for you - diving, tours, pick ups, hospital visits! A very easy and enjoyable place to spend a few days.

Emerald Bay Resort is located in Chokocho village in the south of Pemba. Surrounded by tropical vegetation, this Arabic-styled resort faces a characteristic natural port.

The accommodation will provide you with a balcony and a terrace. Featuring a shower, private bathrooms also come with free toiletries and towels. You can enjoy a sea and a garden view from all the rooms. We’ve been to the North and South of Pemba and Emerald Bay was our favourite place. The daily boat tours and excursions in this stunning place were fantastic. Luca showed us his favourite hidden beaches and sandbanks, and how to move through the bay according to the tides. These have been the warmest, clearest, and most spectacular beaches we've ever been in. The hotel meals are amazing, including lots of fresh local fruits and italian-swahili inspired dishes at dinner. The owner Luca will take excellent care of you and the staff is also very kind and attentive.
