Switch off your noisy, pressurised, polluted electronic world and enter a completely different one – not as a tourist, but as a sentient human being with simple needs – sunshine, fresh sweet-smelling air, natural food, a pristine comfortable bed and friendly company to care for you and yours. All to be found folded into the edge of a primitive forest and set on rising land overlooking the purest, most turquoise waters that ever caught your breath – these waters hide secrets of the most exquisite kind – coral reefs unspoilt – and they are fringed by snow white, delicately soft sand on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
This is Manta, our treasured, remote island hideaway where you can feel the simplicity of a naturally evolved traditional Swahili island culture – and timeless peace and quiet. [links]
Feel part of our Pemban family, our local staff, trained from the go to translate their natural unspoilt kindness and happiness into helping you in all ways to enjoy freedom and low-key modern comfort. A group of good people who proudly endeavour to make Manta the special place it is. From the moment you arrive, your every conceivable activity and service during your stay will be all inclusive and private (with the exception of diving and outside tours). You will have your own service fundi – a member of staff assigned to assist you personally – even perhaps to take you on visits to his village to meet relatives – if you so wish.

Trust us, you will not want to leave your underwater bubble - particularly as you'll find a fully-stocked bar fridge on the lounge deck, and breakfast and dinner can be served to you on the deck of your choice! here
Climb the ladder to enjoy the delights of a sun-soaked deck that's just as wonderful a setting by night, when you lie back and gaze up at twinkling stars in the clear night sky, all the while listening to the soothing sounds of the sea. here
The eco-friendly resort is a tropical island tribute to the calm and simple life. On this kilometre-stretch of heaven, you can get beautifully up close and personal with nature, bask in the golden sun, indulge in water-based adventure and enjoy all the easy delights of natural living, with a choice of garden rooms, seafront villas, and an onsite spa to relax in.
The true pearl in the oyster, however, is the resort's Underwater Room - one of those ‘bucket list' escapes you'll be enthusing about forever after.
The Swedish-engineered floating structure is an absolute joy to behold, moored in the crystal waters of the island's marine conservation area (known as ‘the blue hole' - complete with stunning coral heads).
And here’s a close-up of the exterior of the floating hotel room. here
Here’s a shot of the sleeping area, which offers pretty spectacular views of sea creatures. here
It might take a while to get room service, but you can't beat the view!
A vacation at an oceanfront hotel sounds pretty amazing, but how about a hotel that’s in the ocean? That’s right. At the Manta Resort, located on Pemba, a remote island off the eastern coast of Africa, you can stay in their “Underwater Room,” which is a floating structure with three levels, including one under the sea with panes of glass, offering spectacular views of ocean life.
It has to be seen to be believed, so check out this video of the stunning “floating hotel.”
