The World’s Most Unique Underwater Hotel Room.
Sleep Beneath the Ocean. Wake to Wonder.
Floating in the pristine waters of the Pemba Channel, our Underwater Room offers an unforgettable experience of immersion, connection, and awe. This isn’t just a hotel room — it’s another world.
A Underwater Hotel Room Suspended in the Sea
Anchored 250 meters offshore, The Underwater Hotel Room is a private floating island with three levels — a sea-level landing deck, a rooftop lounging area under the stars, and a fully submerged bedroom 4 meters below the surface.
By day, schools of tropical fish glide past your windows. By night, bioluminescent life flickers to life. It’s not just a place to sleep — it’s a place to witness the ocean alive.
Due to open at the end of 2025, the all-new Manta Underwater Room will provide a more spectacular guest experience, offering a spellbinding window on the undersea world.
Building on the success of the first Manta Underwater Room and in line with the commitment of The Manta, Pemba Island and Blue Alliance to transform travel into an agent for good, this new chapter will deliver an authentic ‘reef-positive’ product with all profits channelled into marine conservation in the North Pemba Channel Conservation Area (PECCA).

More Than a Underwater Hotel Room
The Underwater Room is more than a destination. It’s a statement — about connection, conservation, and curiosity. It sits within the Pemba Channel Conservation Area and supports local marine protection efforts through the Kwanini Foundation.
Every booking contributes to reef monitoring, education for local communities, and sustainable tourism development on Pemba Island.
