Fumba Beach Lodge

Menai Bay

Fumba Beach Lodge is a small-scale resort with only 26 spacious en-suite rooms. Twenty are deluxe ‘bandas’ with en-suite bathrooms, private terraces, and stunning ocean and garden views, all suitable for families or couples. Four of the rooms are Luxury Suites, and additionally, there are two special Baobab Suites. All rooms are privately located within walking distance from the main buildings. They have tea and coffee-making facilities, mini-fridges, mosquito nets, a room safe, and a fan.

The lodge is located on the Fumba Beach peninsula, in the Menai Bay Conservation area, this is a large protected marine sanctuary and lies in an area declared as of outstanding natural beauty but the WWF. Next to Fumba Beach Lodge is the Fumba Village the villagers assisted in finding the location and building the lodge, and many are still employed. You can organise a visit to the village to experience the local culture and daily life.

The restaurant makes use of local ingredients in the cuisine so expect plenty of fresh seafood, local spices and delicious tropical fruits. The lodge is built around 6 huge baobab trees, the oldest being 900 years old. Look out for the resident monkeys whose antics are always entertaining.

How our Tent Ratings work

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
