The Manta Resort on Pemba Island offers a secluded escape where nature, luxury, and romance blend effortlessly. Surrounded by turquoise waters and white sand, guests are welcomed with wine, tropical fruit, and intimate dining beneath the stars.
Mornings begin with a romantic in-room breakfast and ocean breezes, followed by leisurely hours by the pool or soothing treatments at the Kipepeo Jungle Spa. Adventure and serenity meet on a traditional dhow journey to a pristine sandbank for swimming, snorkeling, and a private picnic in endless blue surroundings. As day fades, a sunset dhow cruise glides along the reef, painting the sky in gold and crimson.
The experience culminates in the legendary Underwater Room, a floating, three-level villa with a private deck and an underwater suite where marine life drifts past glowing windows, creating a once-in-a-lifetime stay beneath the sea. It is a rare sanctuary designed for connection, calm, and unforgettable moments in a truly magical setting.
