Dinner on the beach
Fundu Lagoon’s main building is located under a large thatched roof. Here is a nice breeze in the evening and the view of the sea is beautifully mesmerising. All meals are served here – or out on the hotel’s pier. Some meals can be served down on the beach …
The kitchen at Fundu Lagoon
It is indeed something truly unique about sitting here looking across the Indian Ocean enjoying fresh fruit, freshly harvested local vegetables or a cup of coffee. The cuisine is a mix of Swahili dishes and more international dishes.

How does my trip contribute?
This product meets our requirements for Ecorating, a product that is good for humans and the environment.
Fundu Lagoon shares the island with the indigenous people of Pemba. The lodge feels like a part of the island and the local nature and culture. For example, you buy all your (organic) vegetables, fruit and fish from the local area.
Fundu has helped build a school, as well as helped dig a well – which was largely paid for by donations from guests at the hotel. Materials for the local school have been helped, such as books and bicycles for the teachers. Currently, the school is being expanded with more classrooms. The school performs annual health checks, and some children have received help with operations at a nearby hospital – partly sponsored by guests at the hotel but also by staff at the hotel.
Kids here will love equipment for sports, games, school supplies or toys. Please bring if you wish to donate.
By traveling to Fundu Lagoon, you are supporting the local community.
