A trio of treats on the green island of Pemba in the Zanzibar archipelago
When I first visited Zanzibar back in the late 1980s there was only a handful of good hotels available — and the budget conscious could still sleep on the rooftops in historic Stone Town for only $5-10 a night. Now there are nearly five hundred hotel establishments.
But just a twenty-minute flight hop from Zanzibar is the smaller island of Pemba which boasts only a few gorgeous hotels and where you will escape the hurly-burly and discover a pristine environment with turquoise blue seas.
So why not leave the crowds behind this winter and explore a less well-known tropical paradise?
