The Aiyana Resort & Spa

Makangale

The Aiyana Resort and Spa offers accommodation in Verani and features a restaurant. The resort has a year-round outdoor pool and views of the sea, and guests can enjoy a drink at the bar.

Certain rooms have a seating area for your convenience. Rooms are equipped with a private bathroom. Extras include bath robes and slippers. We loved the secluded and stunning location, the incredibly warm and caring staff, the beautifully designed resort and all that it has given and continues to give back to the local village community. It's an example for all.

Gecko Nature Lodge Home of Swahili Divers the BEST dive center and Famous Gecko Restaurant

Verani

Located near the village of Makangale in North Pemba, Gecko Nature Lodge Home of Swahili Divers the BEST dive center and Famous Gecko Restaurant features a dive centre. The family owned resort has a beach area, restaurant and a small bar. Pemba Island is famous for its scuba diving opportunities. A home away from home. The place is very remote and quiet. For nature lovers, it is a real paradise. Coconut crabs right on the property and many bush babies around at night. Food is excellent and staff very friendly and helpful. We went there to do our scuba certification and Mike the owner is the best teacher you can have. We stayed a week but wish we could have stayed longer.

Emerald Bay Resort

Kizungu

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.

Facilities include a restaurant and bar. Emerald Bay Resort can organise trips and excursions as well as airport shuttles. An array of activities can be enjoyed on site or in the surroundings, including hiking, snorkelling and fishing. 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.

Pemba Eco Lodge

Kengeja

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. I have now been to Misali sunset beach hotel and pemba paradise, for me the eco lodge was the best experience. So authentic!!! The location is perfect for a exploring getaway! Friendly staff. Not crowded at all, at one of our nights we were the only guests at the resort. The beaches are so prestine and beautiful! Snorkeling and turtle aquarium I recommend! Food is excellent, super fresh tuna! The best I have ever tasted!!
