Tucked away on an unspoilt island in the Indian Ocean, Funzi Keys´ unique appeal is its luxurious seclusion and beautiful natural scenery. Surrounded by water and superbly located on a west-facing beach with glorious views of the African sunset, this remote and exclusive hideaway is the perfect place to escape from the outside world.
Blending unobtrusively with its idyllic beachfront setting and reflecting the influence of the local culture and coastal architecture, accommodation at Funzi comprises eight spacious cottages set along the high-water line and constructed of stone and thatch with large netted windows open to the balmy sea breezes. Each of these individually designed rooms has a hand carved king-sized four-poster bed and is furnished with local wooden artefacts and colourful fabrics. All cottages enjoy an oversized bathroom and are provided with fans, safes and beach accessories. In front of each cottage is a private sitting area. At the heart of Funzi Keys is the informal yet stylish main building, where guests can relax and enjoy refreshing drinks served from the dhow-shaped bar or sample delicious island fare.
The tempo of life at Funzi Keys is relaxed and informal and many guests do little more than unwind on the wooden deck of the free-form pool with a drink while watching the local fishing dhows sail by. For more energetic guests it is possible to enjoy sailing, creekfishing, windsurfing and canoeing or perhaps take a boat trip up the Ramisi River or Funzi Creek for an unforgettable glimpse of kingfishers, crocodiles and even dolphins! The hotel is also an excellent base for deep-sea fishing and scuba diving in the Pemba Channel, which can be arranged and paid for locally.
