My wife and I completed our safaris and flew over to Zanzibar, looking for some peace and quiet after the excitement of the safaris. We certainly found it at Fumba Beach. We’ve been around the world but this place has something very special about it which makes it an outstanding place to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. You can spend a long time just looking at the colours of the sea as the tide changes. Mesmerising, particularly when you watch the sea food pickers and the dhow crews getting ready to sail. As the sun goes down, it’s a delight to sit with a cocktail before dinner and admire the glorious sunsets. The rustic settings somehow add to the magic and make the place even more attractive, as do the individual lodges. You look forward to watching the monkeys come down from the trees to put on a show, which everyone found amusing. The staff are so pleasant and willing to help. Housekeeping is spot on and service in the restaurant and bar is outstanding. Food is really good but it might be an idea to put some of the lunchtime items on the evening menu. I had the best battered calamari I’ve ever had, but only at lunchtime. It’s not often you can say there is something magical about a hotel/ lodge, but this place has that magical feel. We’ve been back two days and miss it already.
