The Indian Ocean off Pemba has some of the best diving and snorkelling in the world, as well as Robinson Crusoe beaches like this one.

Where to stay:

Owned by designer Ellis Flyte, eco-chic Fundu Lagoon has 18 tented rooms on the small island of Pemba, 20 minutes by boat from Zanzibar.  Stay up on the jungly hillside if you‘re a lover of panoramic views, but the rooms on the beach are best for early morning dips – just a few feet from the waves. Splash out on a superior suite and you get your own plunge pool and open living room. Barefoot luxury at its best.
