Pemba Beach Hotel And Spa
About the hotel
Arriving at Pemba Beach Hotel and Spa is to enter a modern oasis in a largely undeveloped land. Outside the temperature may hover between 30 and 40 degrees, but inside your air-conditioned room you can relax in your private habitat and dream of adventures past, and still to come.The Indian Ocean glitters beyond manicured lawns, dominating the vista from first floor rooms, whilst in the new Courtyard wing you are cosseted in a haven of rich furnishings, Persian rugs and marble clad bathrooms a truly sumptuous rendition of African east coast living. At night, you will enjoy the tropical heat as you drift from the Niassa Bar, with its wildlife trophies evoking past hunting days, to the Quirimbas Restaurant where leading chefs have sculpted the blend of international and local cuisine, with local seafood in abundance. By day, you may laze around the infinity pool which seems to tumble into the ocean, or take a short walk to the buzzing Clube Naval and adjacent yacht marina. Here, the immaculately organized activity centre tempts you with all the sporting action your heart desires deep-sea fishing for Kingfish, Sailfish, Marlin or Barracuda, diving off coral reefs, snorkeling, windsurfing, sailing, kayaking or water-skiing. Fitness enthusiasts can sweat it out in the well- equipped gym or on the flood-lit tennis courts.Adjoining Clube Naval on a site that seems to hover magically above the Indian Ocean, you will find the new Sanctuary Spa. Occupying 500 square meters of sumptuous space, the spa's hot and cold treatment rooms, steam rooms, saunas and showers are designed to merge indoor and outdoor experiences against an azure backdrop that shimmers as if a dream. An array of treatments, from Swedish massages, to milk baths, body brushes, body wraps and facials, will help you succumb to pleasure. The hotel has become a sought-after conference and incentive destination, combining the efficiency of a business hotel with genuine exotic glamour. Within the main hotel building, the 12-seater executive boardroom is frequently used by visiting Government officials, whilst the main conference room, seating up to 200 people, sees a constant flurry of high-level delegations from Government, business and aid agencies. Incentive travel groups are specifically catered for, with the range of water-sports and pure indulgence of the spa serving as delightful antidotes to business pursuits. After a day spent in conference, you can board a sunset boat cruise drifting across Pemba harbour as you watch age-old dhows ply their way against the setting sun. At night, themed events set against the hotel's exotic façade are a specialty, with dazzling Arabian Nights dinners for up to 200 people taking place in a billowing Bedouin tent. Beach dinners are another favourite group activity, with dining tables seductively set out on the fine beach sand as the waves lap ashore. And for those who want night-time action, Clube Naval is known to provide the background for many a late-night beach party. The Sanctuary Group, renowned for its 5-star operations in South Africa, has fine-tuned its offering here to reflect Pemba's Arabic and African influences. Full time therapists are on hand to pamper you with frangipani extracts from Elemis, or indigenous fynbos from Moya, the African antidote to modern living. Exploiting the powers of Cape Fynbos, Moya blends Chamomile, Geranium, Snowbush, Lanyana and Buchu into a heady range of treatments designed to impart African energy, goodness and vitality. Cosseted by such pampering you may sink into an idyllic realm of self-indulgence from which you may never return.
