Manta

An offshore three-level structure anchored approximately 250 metres from shore in the Pemba Channel. The bedroom sits four metres below sea level, surrounded by near-360° glass with direct views of the reef. A lounge, bathroom and outdoor deck occupy the upper two levels.

The Underwater Room is designed as an extension within a Manta stay rather than a standalone destination — guests retain access to a land-based room for the duration of their visit. The structure is Swedish-engineered and was developed in consultation with DNV (Det Norske Veritas).

A portion of every stay — once operating costs are covered, 100% of remaining proceeds — supports the management of the Pemba Channel Conservation Area through Blue Alliance Marine Protected Areas.

Not suitable for children under 12.

The Seafront Villas boast a spacious and private open-plan design, with a centered king size bed and large en-suite bathroom.

The villas feature a perfect blend of traditional Pemban decor with contemporary comfort. In addition, our newly installed state of the art EveningBreeze cooling system provides comfort without noise or drafts. After selecting your preferred sleeping climate, cool clean air will gently circulate over the surface of your bed—carrying with it the promise of a good night’s sleep.

"One of the most chilled places to enjoy a cold beer on the planet!"​

See the ebb and flow come and go (it rhymes!) while sipping away at a “Lemongrass Ginger Sling”, your feet buried in the cool sand, and a soft breeze cooling your skin. In our opinion, the sound of the breaking waves and a breathtaking sunset over the Pemba Channel makes this one of the most chilled places on the planet. Our bartenders specialize in a variety of sundowners and cocktails and will spoil you with fruit drinks and cocktails from the freshest handpicked island mango, lime, lemon, pineapple, and coconuts blended with a touch of rum to create uniquely smooth and refreshing drinks.
