Chumbe is a private island situated just 5 miles southwest of Stone Town.  Surrounded by virgin coral reef and covered by undisturbed forest, ChumbeIsland is a truly unique travel destination.

This exclusive resort has only seven beautiful eco-buildings that have been built using local materials. Each building has solar powered lighting and a private bathroom. Guests can feel safe with the knowledge that they are not harming the environment in this stunning nature reserve.

There is a welcoming atmosphere and plenty of activities available. The snorkelling is excellent, and there is also great bird life around the island. Guests can also search for the rare, giant coconut crab or climb the local lighthouse. Chumbe Island is lovely place to sit back and relax at the end of a safari.
