It would be difficult bring in just one highlight as this exotic experience offers all kinds of highlights to individual tastes... "ALL INCLUSIVE" comes to mind... Personally it would be the Sandbank dinner. We will take you to a wide sandbank off-shore that appears at low tide, there we will serve you a seafood platter and leave you to enjoy your own company completely alone.

The scuba diving & snorkelling around Pemba is nothing else but breathtaking. The untouched coral reef surrounding the entire island makes Pemba one of the top dive sites in the world.

The Kipepeo Spa which welcomes you to this stress-less environment, with a warm breeze from the Indian Ocean sweeping across the room while enjoying one of the treatments available.

Sunset fishing trip departs directly from our beach and join the adventure in the company of local fishermen. You will sail in the traditional way (no motors here) in local dhows.
