Fanjove Island

An unparalleled experience

Discreet villas on a sandy shore

On the secluded island of Fanjove, your only companions will be the abundant resident marine life. For accommodation there are 10 discreet beach villas nestled along the sandy shore, with each villa being open at its front to capitalise on the uninterrupted ocean views. The villas also use traditional, natural materials such as sustainable wood, mukuti (palm leaves), and thatch.

For dining, Fanjove Island offers an open-air restaurant and lounge area. Here you can enjoy fusion cuisine served on tables on the beach as you gaze at the starlit skies and appreciate the undisturbed surroundings. The menu reflects the multicultural heritage of the islands and may include outstanding curries or freshly caught fish of the day. For a truly unparalleled experience, sundowners at the top of the 19th century lighthouse can be arranged.

Activities to embark on during your stay on the island include diving and snorkelling to admire the coral reefs that stretch around Fanjove, bird watching, Dhow sailing, and fishing.
