Great location, right on the beach. The first floor terrace restaurant was lovely and the food was great. It offered good value for money and the boat trip was definitely worth doing, along with a trip to see the flying foxes! Brilliant!

It is an excellent location for other activities on the island. Friendly staff and nice meals. Only a few mosquitos. The vibes of the area are fantastic, and the bungalows near the water have a romantic feeling.

This place has been thoughtfully designed by the founder, Ashok who is overlooking the daily operations. Staying here is a fantastic experience in many ways. Ashok and team excel in delighting all guests, big or small.

The rooms and facilities were much nicer than shown on the pictures. There are beautiful flowers and trees around the bungalows with birds and Bush babies at night and the beach front bar has a fantastic sunset view. The food was excellent and staff were very nice and attentive. There is a well equipped dive shop on site where we organised our diving and snorkelling trips from. We had 6 fantastic days and wished we could have stayed longer.

The perfect place to relax in nature

Emerald Bay Resort - a relaxed casual intimate resort hidden away from view at the southern tip of Pemba Island - an absolute paradise. The rooms are comfortable with a spacious bathroom and excellent hot water shower. There is a good size swimming pool set in beautiful landscaped gardens - a ideal place to spend a lazy afternoon! All dining is on the roof top terrace - dinners are delicious with lots of fresh seafood caught locally. All the usual breakfast foods available plus GREAT pancakes and local doughnuts! All staff absolutely super friendly and helpful. We were met by Luca who hosted us throughout our stay and we were warmly welcomed into the Emerald Bay family. Luca took us out on the boat (dhow) each day to the amazing pristine white sand banks and turquoise warm sea - totally magical and relaxing. Emerald Bay is truly a genuinely special place, out of the tourist hot spots and absolutely in tune with nature and the location. We loved our stay. Thank you to Luca and Raphael for creating the perfect finale to our East African adventure.
