Pemba lies north of Zanzibar Island and has retained a strongly rural character. Rolling green terrain, mangroves and clove plantations meet a deeply indented coastline.
Experiencing Pemba Island
Divers are drawn to steep reef walls and rich marine life, while village visits, forest walks and boat journeys reveal the island above water.
Planning your stay
Pemba is for travellers who value remoteness over resort variety. Access requires more planning, but that is precisely what preserves its distinctive atmosphere.
