Chumbe Island is a fully protected private island, off the coast of Zanzibar, home to a stunning Coral Reef Sanctuary and Forest Reserve that is entirely funded through ecotourism revenue.

You will be accommodated in one of Chumbe Island's seven stunning solar-powered eco-bungalows, perfectly blended with the surrounding nature and situated between the beach and the forest.

My husband and I spent 1 night on Chumbe Island on mid August. The weather is great, you don't even need to bring the towels but bring something to cover your shoulders as in the evening it's a bit windy. The staff is super friendly and welcoming and they pampered us with excellent local food and great breakfast. The accommodation is unique, there were no spiders or mosquitos, we slept like babies surrounded by the sound of nature. The compost toilet is nothing to be afraid of, I've smelled worse in Stone Town streets. They also provide you for free with sun hats, reef-friendly sunscreen, and local beach pareos (don't remember the names) and snorkelling gears. There are lots of organised activities (e.g. snorkeling, sightseeing from the lighthouse, walk in the jungle, night walk to see the coconut crabs) but there's also plenty of time to relax on the beach beds, wander around, or watch the stars in the night. Overall, one night on Chumbe Island is worth the whole travel to Zanzibar and the price is worth it, considering it helps support the local nature's sustainability. Thank you for helping the planet and building lifelong memories!

    I liked every single thing on this resort. The staff was really helpful and respectful! The location was amazing and the beach was really great, it even had a 24 hour security guard. The restaurant (its food and its view) was amazing! Definitely booking this place when I come back to Zanzibar.

    The resort is in a pristine location with rooms having an unhindered view of the scenery and the lush environment. The restaurant serves an array of exquisite cuisine, which includes fresh seafood options. Moreover, the stay was made even more memorable by the genuinely jovial and hospitable staff.

    Instant feeling of relaxation upon arrival to the resort. Very warm welcome and comfortable rooms, surrounded by a lush garden suitable for reading a book or just enjoying the nature. "Private" beach with sunbeads that are looked over by the staff, so no problem leaving the pad of phone when going for a swim. The food was super delicious and the variety was big enough so we could dine in several days.
