Tucked away in the lush tropical greenery of Pemba Island, the Standard Garden Rooms at The Manta Resort offer a peaceful retreat where nature and comfort coexist in perfect harmony. These rooms are ideal for travelers seeking an authentic island experience in a tranquil, private setting — just a short stroll from the ocean.
Each of the Standard Garden Rooms is thoughtfully spaced throughout the resort’s tropical gardens to ensure maximum privacy. The interiors are simple, airy, and built using local materials that reflect the culture and natural surroundings of the island. High, palm-thatched ceilings and whitewashed walls keep the space cool and breathable, while large windows and natural ventilation allow the sights, sounds, and scents of the forest to drift in.
With a king-sized bed, en-suite bathroom, and a shaded veranda, these rooms are ideal for solo travelers, couples, or anyone who values stillness, simplicity, and the restorative power of nature. A private path leads from your garden to the resort’s main areas and the ocean beyond, allowing you to feel connected without ever being disturbed.
All Standard Garden Rooms are equipped with The Manta Resort’s custom-built EveningBreeze cooling system. This low-energy, eco-friendly canopy system delivers a gentle stream of cooled air over the bed without using traditional air conditioning. It ensures a restful night’s sleep, even in the warm island climate, without disturbing the quiet of the night.
The Standard Garden Rooms are a great option for guests who appreciate a slower, more grounded experience. They offer all the essentials — in the best way: naturally lit rooms, garden views, locally made furnishings, and easy access to the beach and main lodge.
Staying in the Standard Garden Rooms includes The Manta Resort’s all-inclusive service. Enjoy chef-prepared meals, refreshing drinks, and access to guided activities such as snorkeling, diving, and cultural tours. The garden rooms are also close to the Kwanini Spa and the yoga deck, giving you easy access to relaxation and wellness during your stay.
Whether you’re beginning your journey on Pemba or seeking a quiet space to disconnect and reflect, the Standard Garden Rooms offer everything you need — no distractions, no unnecessary frills, just the beauty of the island all around you.
Book your stay in one of our Standard Garden Rooms and experience Pemba Island’s natural charm from the comfort of your own private hideaway.
