Manta Resort nestles in the far north area of the tropical Pemba Island and is approximately 72 nautical miles north of Zanzibar. Set on a pristine white beach only meters away from the warm crystal blue waters, you can enjoy walks on the beach or dive amongst unspoilt coral reefs that teem with marine life.
Why not try our favorite tour including The Underwater Room - 8 Day Serengeti Safari & Pemba's Underwater Room.
The Standard Rooms are open plan and feature a king size bed covered by a mosquito net, open plan ensuite bathroom, overhead fan. and a comfortable veranda that overlooks the gardens.
The four Superior Garden Rooms are paired to create inter-leading rooms which are ideal for families or larger groups. Each room features a four-poster king size bed draped with mosquito netting, an en-suite bathroom, air conditioning, a writing desk, and a private thatched terrace with views of the sea between the foliage.
The Sea Front Villas are spacious and private, featuring a four-poster king size bed draped with mosquito netting, an opulent en-suite bathroom with double vanity and walk-in shower, a lounge area, and a sun terrace which faces a spectacular ocean sunset.
Manta Resort's highlight is the unique ‘underwater room’, a three-storey glass-fronted suite where your bedroom is four meters below water, surrounded by glass that gives you unrivaled views of the world that lies beneath the ocean's surface. At night, spotlights illuminate the reef and passing fish, making for an ever-changing but peaceful scene to drift off to.
The facilities at The Manta Resort include a lounge, restaurant, beach lounge, two-tiered swimming pool, and a spa.
The scuba diving off Pemba is truly spectacular, with visibility of 30 to 40 meters on most days and an average water temperature of 26 degrees Celcius. Scorpions Secret and Shimba Wall are some of the famous dive sites and are well known for larger fish species such as Eagle rays, Napoleon’s, GT’s and Barracuda.
You can dive and snorkel perfect reefs in total seclusion, explore this magical island with its rich history of the spice trade and the rise and fall of the Arab empire, do a sandbank trip at low tide, a Ngalawa sunset cruise and wander lush tropical forests in search of monkeys and the endemic flying fox.
The Manta Resort offers numerous romantic activities for newlyweds and honeymooners alike, and equally caters to the needs of families and solo travelers.
We recommend that you add a Serengeti or Masai Mara safari to this incredible and snorkeling experience.

Safari booked. SA here I come.
I have never been to SA before, so naturally I was a bit apprehensive about booking a safari on my own. I turned to safari.com for help and I'm so glad I did. Keith was so helpful, patient and saved me money! That's a win, win, win. I would recommend safari.com to anyone planning their trip and their experiences in SA.
