Surrounded by these unspoilt landscapes, the property has a remote, quiet feel but with all the modern amenities you’d expect of a high-end resort. Accommodation comprises just 30 ecologically-built villas facing the beach. Each is appointed in a minimalist style with locally-sourced natural materials giving a rustic look. The bathrooms have open-to-the-sky showers.

The peaceful beach is a popular spot for relaxing, as is the sublime spa where treatments are based on natural products inspired by plants from the Indian Ocean. There’s also a large swimming pool that overlooks the ocean. For those seeking a more active stay, you can take a PADI course to explore Pemba’s untouched coral reefs and vibrant marine life, or enjoy walks in the nearby Ngezi Forest Reserve.

Otherwise, you can always treat yourself to fresh seafood and locally inspired dishes at the ocean-view restaurant (or on the beach under a coconut palm umbrella).

“YES TO ULTIMATE – AND YES AGAIN”

This was our second big trip with The Ultimate Travel Company – and we’d happily use them again and again. The customer service is excellent: they really listen to what you want and make it happen. Their on-the-ground support, wherever you’re headed, is just as strong. Everything was seamless. Highly recommend.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”

Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, The Ultimate Travel Company stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.

“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”

Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.
