Emerald Bay Resort  

On Pemba Island’s south coast in Chokocho village, this Arabic-styled resort fronts a natural port. It’s an island sea-view stay with garden vistas; Mkoani Port is about 15 minutes by car and Chake Chake Airport roughly 40 minutes away.

Set among tropical vegetation, the property mixes Arabic-style architecture with relaxed island vibes. Rooms come with a private bathroom and shower, plus a balcony or terrace overlooking the sea and gardens. An elevator makes key areas accessible.

Swim in the pool and outdoor pool or grab a drink at the bar. There’s a restaurant and a barbecue area for easy meals. Bookable excursions and a tour desk offer hiking, snorkelling and fishing trips. The resort provides airport shuttles/transfers, free parking, laundry and dry cleaning, car rental, private check-in/out, ironing and a safe-deposit box. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and step straight into island life.

On-site restaurant and bar serve casual meals. A dedicated barbecue area lets you keep things simple and social.
