LABA Fanjove Island
Directly off the coast of Tanzania lies this iconic sand and coral island with its numerous palm trees, white sandy beaches, and shimmering water. It is only 1 km long and about 400 meters wide. It can be reached by a short, 45-minute flight in a light aircraft from Dar es Salaam to Songo Songo Island, followed by a 20-minute boat ride to Fanjove.
Dominated by one of the last remaining lighthouses from the 19th century, built by the Germans, the island offers 18 villas facing the ocean with stunning views. These have been crafted by local artisans from natural materials and are discreetly spread among the palms for utmost privacy.
Picnics on the sandbank, lunch or dinner on the shaded terrace of the lighthouse, or private dining in your villa – everything is overseen by Michelin-trained chef Edmund, who focuses on flavorful, healthy, and local cuisine. Stay connected with nature during workouts in the gym with ocean views or enjoy the running trails around the island.
GOOD FANJOVE
LABA Fanjove is a remote and romantic getaway in southern Tanzania, offering a relaxed private island experience with only 18 beach villas amidst white sandy beaches and impressive wildlife.
As the smallest yet arguably the most beautiful of the six islands in the Songo-Songo Archipelago, it is a place where seabirds and dolphins remind you of the beauty and authenticity of nature. Dive into the crystal-clear, turquoise waters to discover colorful coral reefs, sail into the sunset on a traditional Dhow, or enjoy a sundowner atop the lighthouse.
It is the perfect contrast after an adventurous safari: find peace while observing fascinating bird migrations or indulge in restorative thalasso therapy treatments at the spa.
MORE ABOUT THIS
Enjoy complete privacy and let yourself fall into pure relaxation at LABA Fanjove Island. If you feel the spirit of exploration, a variety of activities are available to experience this untouched paradise in all its facets.
Water Adventures To explore the sparkling waters surrounding the island, sea kayaks and stand-up paddleboards are ready for you. Those who wish to discover the world beneath the surface can find an extraordinary marine landscape when diving and snorkeling at the 11 km long coral reef – characterized by fascinating underwater rock pinnacles and magnificent gardens of cabbage corals.
Encounters with Wildlife On a marine safari, with a bit of luck, you can observe spinner dolphins and common dolphins. Alternatively, relax while snorkeling at a secluded sandbank, as a picnic with freshly grilled fish is being prepared for you on land. For bird lovers, a map of the nature trails offers guidance to find discreet observation points for the diverse migratory birds that visit the island between November and March.
Tradition and Pleasure Experience the authentic side of Tanzania: try your luck fishing for your own dinner or end the day in style. A sunset aboard a traditional wooden Dhow, gliding over the sea with timeless elegance, is the perfect way to conclude a day in paradise.
