Manta on Pemba Island is looking as beautiful as ever; the perfect destination for relaxing and emerging oneself in natural perfection.

Star gazing at The Manta Resort is one thing that guests can not get enough of on our warm summer evenings. The Milky Way stretches across the sky, seemingly mirroring the long stretch of our white, soft sand, Manta beach. The stars are magnificent, a perfect backdrop to our perfect evenings!

If you have not yet seen the flying foxes of Pemba Island… add this excursion to your bucket list! Ask your fundi at The Manta Resort to set up this unforgettable experience for you during your stay with us.

A family of guests took a sunset cruise recently and were followed for some time through the surf by a pod of spinner dolphins. These are the special experiences that may form part of your stay at The Manta Resort!

Pemba’s travel and tourism claim to fame is fast becoming its fantastic dive sites, with steep drop-offs,
untouched coral and very abundant marine life. Our guests have been reporting back that the viz is great, the water is warm and the ocean life plentiful!

Turtles, whales, and dolphins have all been spotted since yesterday evening. We are heading into this weekend feeling positive that more exciting sightings await us, here at The Manta Resort.

Two Humpback Whales were spotted from our deck two days ago, a mother and her calf, swimming along the edge of the reef in front of The Manta Resort. The migration from the North has begun and we are hoping to see more of these friendly giants in days to come.

What a great Sunday we all had at Manta yesterday! Delicious breakfast, coffee on the deck looking for dolphins, reading on the day bed, swimming in the pool, kayaking on the sea, dinner and bonfire on the beach… The perfect day to end off a perfect week!

The Ngezi Forest Reserve is a stunning place to visit, which, if you are staying at The Manta Resort, you will pass through when travelling to and from the resort.
