Why stay
We recommend staying at the Seafront or Garden Villas for the majority of your stay but exploring the Underwater Room for one night or day. The private floating island truly makes your experience at Manta unforgettable.
Why wander
Pemba is one of the top diving/snorkeling destinations in the world - with one of the healthiest coral reefs in the Indian Ocean and the water temperature averaging at 26ºC. It is the perfect place to start your adventure. At low tide, you can snorkel right off the resort in the house “Lagoon”. If you want to explore the island by foot, enjoy guided tours that range from walks to local villages to getting to know the ancient Ngezi Forest.
Indulge in
Mama's banana bread for breakfast. Freshly made juices from locally grown fruit and coconut milk. Seafood caught and prepared before your eyes for dinner. Do not skip Banofie pie for dessert!
Getting There
The most frequent fly route is Zanzibar – Pemba. From the Pemba airport, the Hotel arranges a taxi transfer. Travelling within the hotel ground will require a snorkel, a mask and some fins.
