Restaurant
Fundu offers some of the best cuisine in East Africa, reflecting the cultural heritage of Zanzibar to create a fusion of Arabic, Indian, Swahili and Colonial influences. A daily fisherman's catch and tropical fruits add an exotic twist to familiar international dishes. Fundu's chefs provide delicious picnics for excursions and private dining can also be arranged, where your own personal chef and waiter will attend to your every need at a candle-lit table under the stars on the beach or on your own terrace. There is a weekly beach barbeque and every Sunday night tables are set up on the jetty for a feast of Swahili cuisine and music.
The Jetty Bar is a favourite place to lounge and watch the fishermen and dhow boats passing by during the day or enjoy the sunsets in the evening whilst the main bar, set in the hub of the hotel, is a relaxing place for a post dinner nightcap. The poolside bar serves cooling drinks and light snacks throughout the day. All meals and Fundu drinks such as soft drinks, beers and house wines are included in Fundu's hospitality. Additional premium spirits and wines are also available on request.
Location
Fundu Lagoon has everything you need to enjoy the Indian Ocean, from wakeboarding to windsurfing, kayaking or simply strolling along the peaceful shoreline where it is lovely to watch the Mamas and kids collecting clams or just passing by...if you are lucky, you might see the local fishermen bringing in their daily catch. Nearby there is a paradise beach at Misali Island, a short boat trip away and inside the protected marine conservation area. The only disturbance to these white sand beaches is by green and hawksbill turtles. It is an ideal and relaxing day out with palm trees fringing the white sands and offering shady picnic spots. The warm turqoise shallows are ideal for snorkelling amongst the brightly coloured reef fish
Accessible by boat only.
