Although the underwater hotel room is not easily accessible, definitely worth the efforts! To get to the Pemba Island, choose a scheduled charter flight via Zanzibar or Dar es Salaam.

How does the underwater hotel room look like?

After arriving in the Manta Resort Zanzibar, your professional will take you to your underwater hotel room. The floating structure lies approx. 250 meters from shore and reachable with a short 2 minutes boat ride with the traditionally crafted wooden boat. 

Your private floating island consists of a landing deck, lounge area, bathroom, and an underwater room. You find a romantic lounging area on the roof where you can enjoy the sun by day or starlight at night.

From your underwater hotel room, you can enjoy a breathtaking ocean panorama! Fantastic coral heads and an abundance of marine life are guaranteed! Shoals of reef fish and sea creatures will visit your windows wishing you a good morning or good night! Batfish and a trumpet fish called Nick will be your regular visitors as they have taken up residence around the room. 

Underwater spotlights beneath the windows attract squids by nights, octopus and Spanish dancers might attach to the glass. Watch this real aquarium from the comfort of your bed!

The Manta Resort Zanzibar takes care of the environment. The open-air fresh water shower, hand-wash basin and marine toilet system in the underwater hotel room are all eco-friendly.  Biodegradable shower and body care products are also available.
