Surrounded by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, PAMBA It is an island that seems to have been designed to stay secret. Unlike Zanzíbar, his famous neighbor, this jewel located in Tanzania It hides between clove plantations, leafy jungles and coral reefs that color the Costa Azul. Everything there breathes calm and nature in its purest form.

Suspended in the middle of the ocean, its famous floating room completely redefines the idea of escaping everything.

The idea was born in 2010when the Swedish businessman Mikael Genbergknown for having created a similar version in a lake of Sweden, was summoned to design an open sea structure that could live with the local ecosystem.
The process took more than two years of planning, naval engineering and evidence in real conditions. Finally, the room was built in Stockholmunarmed and transported by boat to Pmba, where it was assembled piece by piece and anchored about 250 meters from the coast. And since its inauguration in 2013became the distinctive seal of the resort.
