"Pemba lodge is a paradise dream. It's an eco lodge so existence is simple but beautiful. The beach and the bay is the most stunning you will ever see - and staying there you almost have a private island to yourself! Suleman the manager and his team are amazing - very attentive and knowledgeable and the food is a real gem. Simple and local but straight out the sea. Massively recommend for anyone that wants to escape the world and be surrounded by beauty and nature"

How much does a pet-friendly hotel in Pemba Island cost?
You can find pet-friendly hotels in Pemba Island from £51 with Expedia. Staying at a pet-friendly hotel offers a convenient and welcoming experience for travellers who don't want to leave their furry companions behind.

Which area of Pemba Island is best to stay in for pet-friendly hotels?
For travellers looking for pet-friendly hotels on Pemba Island, the best area to stay is along the northwestern coast, particularly around the villages of Ngezi and Vumawimbi.

This region is known for its beautiful, less developed beaches and lush Ngezi Forest. Accommodation here often consists of private villas or smaller, boutique resorts that are more likely to offer pet-friendly options compared to the larger, more conventional resorts found elsewhere. The terrain is generally more open, providing ample space for pets to explore.

Couples travelling with pets will find this area particularly appealing. The secluded beaches, like Vumawimbi Beach, offer a tranquil setting for walks with your pet, and many properties in this area have private gardens or direct beach access, making it very convenient.
How do I ensure I have booked a pet-friendly room in Pemba Island?
To ensure you've booked a pet-friendly room on Expedia, use the filters in your search and select "Pet friendly" under the "Amenities" section. This will narrow your options to properties that allow pets. Once you find a hotel you're interested in, click on it and review the "Policies" section for specific details about their pet policy. This often includes information about pet types, size restrictions, fees, and whether pets are allowed in all rooms or only certain ones.When selecting your room type, read the room description to check that its pet-friendly, as not all rooms in a pet-friendly hotel may accommodate pets. For added peace of mind, contact the hotel directly to confirm the room you've selected allows pets.
What pet-friendly activities should we do in Pemba Island?
Pemba Island isn't widely known for dedicated pet-friendly activities or facilities, so it's important to manage expectations and plan carefully. Due to local regulations, animal welfare considerations, and the nature of many excursions, options for pets are very limited.

Generally, pets aren't permitted on organised tours, particularly those involving marine life (like snorkelling or diving trips) or nature reserves. Similarly, most hotels and guesthouses on Pemba Island don't accommodate pets. It's crucial to confirm directly with any accommodation provider about their specific pet policy before booking.

If you are travelling with a pet, your best bet would be to focus on independent activities where your pet can accompany you. This might include walks on public beaches (though always check for local restrictions or cultural sensitivities regarding animals on beaches) or exploring less-frequented areas. However, be mindful of the tropical climate, as it can be very hot for animals, and always ensure your pet has access to fresh water and shade. It's also vital to be aware of any local wildlife or stray animals that could pose a risk.
What amenities should I look for in a pet-friendly hotel in Pemba Island?
When selecting a hotel in Pemba Island for you and your pet, look for amenities like food and water bowls, pet-friendly outdoor spaces and pet beds. You may find hotels that go the extra mile with pet-friendly dining options, treats and toys. It's also worth looking to see if there are any pet-friendly parks or walking trails nearby.
