We chose this location as the 2nd part of our honeymoon, having spent a week in Tanzania on safaria. We wanted a chill-out relaxed week in paradise. Initial reactions were fantastic, staff very welcoming, room simple but very nice. Amazing views to the beach/sea. We had a sea-view bungalow, which we could walk onto the beach in about 5 seconds... more

We had high expectations for Fumba, as we had read such fantastic reviews, however, when we arrived we were very disappointing. The reception area was dark and needed to be cleaned. The receptionist didn't even look up to say hello to us. We asked to see our room before we settled in. We are a family of 4 with 2... more

My wife and myself went on honeymoon to zanzibar in june 2008. After staying in some marginal places we arrived at this little piece of heaven called Fumba beach lodge. Run and owned by Edwin and Natasjha and supported by an incredibly professional and friendly crew we where spoiled rotten. The attention to detail and the unbelievable service truly made... more

We stayed here for 5 nights early in March, just at the end of the high season. Don’t go later because March and April are the rainy season. If you look for quiet, unassuming seaside accommodation in a tropical setting, this is the place for you. The beach is not great but this is compensated by the fact that you... more

Charles Roelen, Rotterdam, Holland. Tel: [--]or k.roelen@gmail.com During the summer of 2007 in the month of june, we had reservated Fumba Beach Lodge for one week after having climbed the kilimanjaro. Unfortunately, our daughter became ill and we had to cancel the trip. Fumba Beach seems to be very nice, like we have read the many reviews and photo's. Because... more

Fumba Beach Lodge is at the end of a very long and bumpy dirt track. Just as you are beginning to feel that you can't stand it any longer, you arrive at Fumba Beach. It really is lovely - and entirely secluded. This is not a place for people who need to keep in touch with world affairs - there... more

Our stay at Fumba Beach Lodge, Zanzibar was incredible. Just what we need after our wedding and a weeks Safari on the mainland. Total chill out and relaxation, and that was exactly what we got. The owners and management, spoilt us rotten. Due to the time of year we were there, two out of the six days we were the... more

Arrived at Fumba having just done a 10 day exhausting safari in Tanzania. Was travelling by myself. Found lobby area on arrival a bit sad looking, apparantely it will be decorated shortly. Staff very friendly and helpful, perhaps over polite and eager to please?! Was asked every 5-10 mins throughout the day and eve 'if everything was all right and... more

First day back home after staying at Fumba beach lodge missing it already. This is the place to go if you just want to chill out relax and enjoy the wonderful setting whilst having your every need taken care of. We found all the staff very helpful friendly and service very good. Food was also good and well presented and... more

We came to Fumba on a recommendation from a friend. The two of us stayed in a Luxury Suite while we were there - it's well worth the extra money. Here's the nutshell of what we liked so much: - Open the huge wooden doors of our room to look out to our hammock followed by white sandy beautiful beach.... more
