Mnemba Island Lodge

Travel writers have often named Mnemba as one of the top beaches in the world, certainly in Africa. Mnemba Island Lodge is the ultimate definition of barefoot luxury, one of the few places where you can snorkel straight off the beach and onto pristine reef.  Owned and run by &Beyond, the food and service is top class.

Mnemba Island is located just of the north east coast of Zanzibar.  It is accessible by flying to Stone Town, the capital of Zanzibar and then being driven to a crossing point on the north of the island. You will then be transferred by boat to the private island. It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind after a safari.

The lodge has a communal area that is simple and open with views onto the white sand of the beach, serving excellent fresh sea food as well as pretty much anything you want!

Accommodation is in just 10 roomy, thatched beach bandas with bathrooms set back along a soft corridor of woven coconut palm, each set back from the beach in a private clearing in the forest.  All bedrooms, verandas and central living areas are atmospherically designed with light cotton nets, soft African prints and cushions, and all fresh tropical cocktails, diving expeditions, water sports and fishing trips are included!

The lodge runs a professional dive school and has traditional wooden dhows from which to explore the warm, clear waters and coral reefs. Guests then return to their island hideaway to enjoy sumptuous feasts of fresh fruit, vegetables, seafood and meats all fabulously prepared and presented. This is the best place to take a Tanzania honeymoon.
