The Aiyana Resort and Spa offers accommodation in Verani and features a restaurant. The resort has a year-round outdoor pool and views of the sea, and guests can enjoy a drink at the bar.

Certain rooms have a seating area for your convenience. Rooms are equipped with a private bathroom. Extras include bath robes and slippers. This might be the best hotel in the world! The suite was absolutely amazing, even better than shown on the photos! Location is perfect - a pristine beach - white sand, hot clear blue waters - almost noone but some locals fishing near the sand. Some of the food is michelin star worth it - the tuna sashimi couldn't be more fresh, just perfect; the selection of wines is well worth it and the staff is the best we have ever had - professionals, elegants, eager to serve well (and oh they do!!). All the resort if of extreme elegance and good taste. Like I said - this might be the best hotel in the world! Please continue and don't change.

Emerald Bay Resort is located in Chokocho village in the south of Pemba. Surrounded by tropical vegetation, this Arabic-styled resort faces a characteristic natural port.

The accommodation will provide you with a balcony and a terrace. Featuring a shower, private bathrooms also come with free toiletries and towels. You can enjoy a sea and a garden view from all the rooms. After a week of disappointing hotels in the Zanzibar archipelago we found a place that made us feel we were getting good quality for our money. The place is comfortable, beautifully situated, clean. The staff, especially Jennifer and Kasib, made us feel we were looked after at all time. If you go to Pemba, and you should, you need to be here!

Pemba Lodge is an eco-friendly resort offering bungalows made out of recycled boats and natural local materials. Each one is has a secluded location in the large garden and has direct access to the beach. I have now been to Misali sunset beach hotel and pemba paradise, for me the eco lodge was the best experience. So authentic!!! The location is perfect for a exploring getaway! Friendly staff. Not crowded at all, at one of our nights we were the only guests at the resort. The beaches are so prestine and beautiful! Snorkeling and turtle aquarium I recommend! Food is excellent, super fresh tuna! The best I have ever tasted!!

Facing the beachfront, Lala lodge Pemba Zanzibar offers 1-star accommodation in Mgini and features a garden, private beach area and restaurant. The hotel also provides free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. This is a hidden gem of small village just a stone away from Mkoani ferry terminal. This lodge is a part of village scenery. You can see and listen how the people working, walking, and even singing! I enjoyed some communications with village people, they are very friendly and hospitable. I enjoy sunset time when dhows are going back in reddish shining water reflecting sunset. Night time is very quiet. This is as if home away home. Denis, the owner, is very friendly and helpful, knowing a lot about Pemba and Africa. His family and stuff have full of hospitality. They even prepared a breakfast box for my early departure in the morning. I highly recommend and hope to go back soon!

At the resort, every room has a wardrobe and a balcony with a garden view. With a private bathroom equipped with a bidet and free toiletries, certain units at Pemba Paradise also provide guests with a sea view. All units at the accommodation include air conditioning and a desk. Very peaceful, beautiful surroundings and attentive staff. A lovely spot to watch the sunset with a happy hour cocktail in hand. The food was also excellent, with delicious fresh fish dishes. We also dived with Pemba dive centre who are on site and can very highly recommend them.

Located in Wesha, 7.3 km from Gombani Stadium, Pemba Misali Sunset Beach provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a restaurant and a bar. This 3-star hotel offers an ATM and a tour desk. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi. Amazing location, felt like we were the only tourists on this beautiful island filled with spectacular nature. It was really good to see tides in action in this remote location, away from tourist-filled main island of Zanzibar.
